In Unit 3, our texts describe the issues surrounding how society works and the effects of various obstacles people must overcome to work. Keep these discussions in mind as you begin writing your essay.

Essay Prompt:

Using the four articles listed below, address this prompt: What are the effects of race, gender, employment opportunities, and education in regard to white-collar or blue-collar jobs?

“Blue-Collar Brilliance”
“Pedagogy of the Oppressed”
“Preparing Minds for Markets”
“I was a Warehouse Wage Slave”

Draw on specific points from these readings, and explain how a synthesis of these readings deepens the understanding of blue-collar and white-collar employment. How does this understanding allow people to identify potential contradictions in the society in regard to work and who is able to succeed in a given profession? How can people begin to identify elements of a crisis in preparing children to enter the workforce? Lastly, how might the readings begin to point towards strategies for overcoming these negative attitudes towards blue-collar jobs as well as white-collar jobs? [Hint: one strategy is not “work hard and you will succeed.”

Essay Components:

Please compose an introduction with a thesis and one-sentence summaries for all readings as well as providing general information that synthesizes the major themes addressed in the reading. (8 Sentences)
