Assignment 18

The commentary she is trying to provide about blue collar workers in America is that they are trapped in the middle class. Besides the fact that they can potentially fall lower in the social classes, most cannot rise to higher ranks within any field of work so they remain in the same social class as they were born into. I thought the piece was interesting in the fact that I have thought about this idea before and I enjoy reading other's ideas on it. I believe that unless something abnormal happens most are stuck in their class position with no chance of escape. Ethically this provides a constant strong workforce for the upper class to use, which in the long run creates faster progression and a generally modern civilized society. Although that may be true, it is unfair to the middle and lower class that they can be promised a chance to progress and not be able to.
