Due Sunday, September 18th, by midnight. Word count: 400 words. Many of you included quotes in your writing assignment last week. Please note that you will not receive full credit if your assignment includes quotes. Make sure everything is in your own words. If you paraphrase (which I encourage you to do) make sure to include the proper citation.

In “The Making of the Working Class,” Harry Braverman (1975:15) explains that being a worker is primarily about the way that social relations qualify different kinds of work rather than a condition that we can attribute to the type of activity that a worker performs. Keeping this idea in mind, explain the distinction that Braverman is making between productive and unproductive work.
