In the article “The Culture of Overwork” Judy Rebick have stated fact and opinions to communicated her message to the audience of how today’s society overworks. When the author writes “Chris Schenk, research director of Ontario federation of labour, says downsizing in the recession of the early 1990’s meant fewer people had to do more work” she is stating facts. The statistics Canada and the “U.S study” as mentioned in the previous question cannot be legitimized as fact, as they are not correctly referenced in order to prove the main idea of overwork in society today. However, author mentions the statistics Canada in 1999, therefore assuming that this article was written in 2001, the 1999 study would then be a current source of information…

The protests and "uprisings" was necessary because it helped women rise above the standard's placed on them and started a movement that gave both genders an equal…
The conditions for factory workers during the Industrial revolution were awful. These conditions were dangerous to an extreme because of different jobs like having to change the bobbins while the machine is still running because there is no way to really turn it off, plus the bosses would most likely never allow it to be turned off because the production levels would go down. This being said, not only was it unsafe, there were to benefits of any sort; No workers comp, breaks, vacation days, sick days, not really a lunch break, no cafeteria to even think about eating unless you brought something, and long 12-14 hour days. There were no standards to be followed at the time, so safety was not an issue that factory owners had to worry about. This made the conditions for factory workers…
The underlying foundations of our nation's labor unions develop profound into the early history of America. By the 1820s, different unions required in the push to decrease the working day from 12 to 10 hours started to show enthusiasm for the possibility of alliance of consolidating in quest for basic destinations for working individuals.

A second article by Nancy Foner,” Models of integration in a settler society: caveats and complications in the US case” explains that integration in the US is not stable but has shown change over time, showing how past immigrants contributed to these changes.…
Castration of the Blue-Collar Worker Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent abolitionist and clergyman, once said that “The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.” Beecher addresses how the American ideal has been skewed and the American people misguided into believing that we all should be on equal footing, believing that no social hierarchy should exist. Instead, Beecher believes that what America offers its people is the ability to fulfill to their greatest ability their utmost potential, while not being held back by the American system but, instead, propelled forward. However, as shown in John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, no matter how…
