Read:

1) the assigned chapters from Shop Class as Soul Craft 

2) the excerpt from Death of a Salesman

3) the excerpts from Yes! Magazine, especially the Bob Black piece, "Why Work?"

For your FIRST post, reflect on what you have read and consider your own experience (and observations) of work.  Respond to the question:  Why is work important and what aspects of how work "works"/is should we pay attention to if you we want healthy and productive individuals/communities/organizations/societies?

Your post should draw on specific points from the readings as well as your own experience.
