1. What is the distinction that Reading 4.3 makes between owners and employees? Give an example of each.
Owners are people who are rich enough to make other work for them, and employees are people who work for others to earn wages.
2. How do you understand the quote by Adam Smith on pg. 28? What is it saying about labor?
I agree with Adam Smith, how much work you pay off equals how much you get.
3. What are your thoughts on the main argument of Reading 4.4 that class is NOT an identity?
I think class is not an identity, because that can be change base on the the income, wealth, and education, unlike race and gender, something that’s a single fact.
4. How do you understand the argument Reading 4.4. makes when stating that “class structures are built around a close form of dependency”? What is this close form of dependency, and can you think of an example?
We need and work for each other in order to let this society keep going, like we can’t build a house without the base structure.
