Prezi Assignment

This assignment was so much fun. I am definitely going to use this at work. I hope you all in enjoy more information about Labor Unions. I really enjoy reading about them and learning just how much they have done for our country. The video in this assignment was based in Australia; however, the impact of their unions mirrored the American impact. Please feel free to leave comments and/or questions.

Assignment 13: Creating an Xtranormal Cartoon

In this assignment, I decided I would continue with labor issues. Hope you enjoy, this is my first time to do anything like this.

Assignment 12: Infographic

How often do we think about the evolution of the labor movement in America? Day in and day out we go to work perhaps not even knowing how our labor forced has changed the way in which employees are treated. Whether you agree with strikes or unions, taking a look into the historical context of labor sheds light on how groups of people can make change. From a Marxian perspective, strikes exist as a way for the working class to challenge the government. The underlying agenda with strikes is economic motivations. This assignment led me to think about creating an infographic on labor movement and changes over the decades.

Key Events in Labor History


Labor Day


American workers have long endured many challenges and successes as they strive to reach the American Dream. However, for some workers it is easier to obtain than others. Throughout labor history, American workers have struggled between the structures within white collar and blue collar jobs. The struggles within jobs often create conflict in the system which drive the workers to speak out about the problems occurring. Today, unions have become a safe place where workers can openly discuss and resist conflict. Many people do not understand how the labor history has evolved and how important the events in history help challenge the labor force. The link below offers a deeper look into the American Labor History.

Assignment 9: Video with Voiceover

Sorry for the delay.  All this technology is pretty new to me, but I think I've figured it out. It could probably still use a little more work.  I hope you enjoy and it makes you think about conflict within organizations and how change is made. I also want you to think about if walk-outs, strikes, and unions are beneficial for society.

I wanted to share this with my fellow sociologists. What do you think about how males are represented in the media? Is male sexism growing?  Listen to the Podology Podcast on Misandry.
