    With the way the Ehrenreich uses logic to present the readers with her advice in the closing paragraphs it is very easy to take the lesson away from it. We can now see that we spread ourselves too thin with activities to achieve success; furthermore, we conclude that in order to achieve success we may not be giving ourselves the best shot if we don’t allow ourselves the time it takes to refine our skills to do so. Thus, revealing to the readers that one does not have to be busy to be…

    After reading the essay “Should Fast-Food Workers Be Paid $15 per Hour” written by a student who goes by the name of Trudie Makens, it was clear that her piece fell under the genre of “articles in public affairs” (27) even as an exploratory essay for a class discussion. The topic of whether minimum wage should be raised or kept the same is discussed through various viewpoints from minimum wage employees to a business perspective. The essay’s purpose is to allow the reader to be exposed to the two sides of the argument and allow the reader to formulate their own opinions on the topic of potentially raising the minimum wage of low income jobs. Makens’ essay was incredibly effective in allowing the reader to ultimately come up with their own…

    While Ehrenreich gives away all her excess privileges in the beginning of her experiment, she begins to realise that her life is about to drastically change. She describes her realization as “it’s not going to be easy to go from being a consumer, thoughtlessly throwing money around in exchange for groceries and movies and gas, to being a worker in the very same place” (Ehrenreich, 2017, p. 917). She quickly discovers that those on the poverty line hardly have enough money to provide themselves with food and proper shelter. For people food and shelter is not a luxury but a necessity. Furthermore, Ehrenreich quickly began to see a luxury that possibly had not thought about in a long time, the food she was eating.…

Nike is a corporation that considers itself not responsible for its contractors and treatment of its workers and has little regard for CSR. Ballinger on the other end is a crusader for closing the gap for low paid worker’s wages and holds corporations responsible for CRS. In order to decide whether Jeff Balllinger has a convincing argument we need to understand his passion, beliefs and credibility.…

    Ehrenreich describes how she felt invisible, almost completely unnoticed by the women she cleaned houses for, “Mostly, though, she will not see you at all and may even sit down with her mail at a table in the very room you are cleaning, where she would remain completely unaware of your existence unless you were to crawl under that table to and start gnawing away at her ankles” (481, Ehrenreich). Ehrenreich was made to feel inferior when she was working at Merry Maids, in a similar way to how bell hooks felt at school. If you treat someone like they are inferior, eventually they may begin to believe it…
