“Three Strikes”: A Review of the Early History of Labor Unrest
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of the circumstances and meanings presented in the book by Howard Zinn, Dana Frank, and Robin Kelley. Broken into three major sections, each authored by either Zinn, Frank, or Kelley, this book details the bloody Colorado Coal Strike of 1913-1914, the Detroit Woolworth's Strike of 1937, and the New York Musicians Strike of 1936-1937. Although only the Detroit Woolworth Strike was won, these labor strikes will forever memorialize internal labor movement relations of the early half of the twentieth century. The author of this paper contends that the progress made in these strikes are directly applicable to the contemporary working environment as well. No additional sources are listed.

“Working Class Majority” and “Nickel and Dimed”
[ send me this paper ]
A comparison of the content and message contained in these books by Michael Zweig and Barbara Ehrenreich. Each of these authors targets the latter half of the 1990s to present an expose of a societal situation which they find unacceptable. Both are concerned with the definition of class in America and the societal factors which interact to define the respective classes. While Zweig approaches the problems of class in America from a statistical perspective Ehrenreich takes a slightly different approach, shedding her identity as an award-winning journalist and infiltrating blue collar America as an unskilled worker.

"12 Angry Men" - Group/Team Dynamics
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The premise of 12 Angry Men shows how human (mis)perception, ego, prejudice and close-mindedness holds a wide variance of potential harm. Brought together to deliberate the fate of an accused murderer, the jury learns a lot about their own shortcomings - and eventual enlightenment - throughout the process of reaching a verdict. The 1957 film was instrumental in demonstrating how a group of opinionated, angry men who refuse to believe there is any other viewpoint but their own can be damaging to a just outcome; only when they are guided by the collective components of group dynamics do they finally realize the danger of assuming everything is as it seems at face value and why analyzing situations beyond the obvious facts carries a tremendous weight in reaching the right conclusion. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
