Assignment 01: Weber and the work ethic

Due Sunday, September 4th, by midnight.  Word count: 400 words.  Please make sure everything is in your own words.  Do not include any quotes and if you paraphrase make sure to include the proper citation.

Write an introductory post that tells the class who you are and about your interest in this class. Then, in no less than 400 words, write your own labor history by reflecting on the following questions: Do you work now? If so, where? How did your grandparents and your parents work? How do you think this history has affected your sense of what work is, the relationship of education to work, and your goal and hopes for the future? Given your understanding of what Weber means by an “ethic” of work, reflect on your sense of what work means to you.
