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.

Y Steps for creating a new post in WordPress
Posted below are the steps for creating a new post in WordPress. Rather than writing and editing your post directly in WordPress, I highly recommend that you write and edit in Word and then copy and paste your text into WordPress. Also remember to take a look at the rubric before you post your assignment. Make sure that your post in written in your own words, PLEASE NO QUOTES, and check to make sure you have met the required word count.
Steps:
- Log into WordPress using the login and password you used to create your account.
- From the left hand menu, select “post” and “add new.”
- Create a title for your post. Please make sure your title includes the name(s) of the author(s) we are studying.
- Copy and paste your response from Word into WordPress.
- From the “categories” menu on the right hand side, select the appropriate category (e.g., “Assignment 01.”
- Click “publish.”

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.
