In this text, Rose eloquently utilizes pathos to create an emotional connection towards the blue-collar workforce. Rose also writes about his family members to try to establish a connection between readers and his memories, so that the reader could relate and begin to understand the requirements of such careers. These experiences demonstrate how passionate workers like Rosie and uncle Joe are about their careers, and how their passion encourages them to seek further ways to learn and improve. Throughout his article Rose vividly recalls the stories for the audience, “Rosie took customers’ orders, pencil poised over pad, while fielding questions about the food. She walked full tilt through the room with plates stretching up her left arm and two cups of coffee somehow cradled in her right hand” (Rose 3). The reader is better able to grasp the fact that blue-collar careers require more intense cognitive abilities than other social classes give them credit

He was a fly swatter. He was happy about his job for what he was paid.

Women in the work force are not nearly as dominant as men are. Katha argues that this isn’t due to women not being able to handle the workload, but instead because of how society, especially in the business world, best adheres to a man. Katha uses an excellent example on page 402 that shows how inequality in the business world is prevalent. Katha uses the Sears case in which Men were getting the bigger and better business deals, simply because women could not handle the pressure of dealing with the amount of work and emotional fatigue this would have brought. Finally she analyzes that women aren’t actually emotionally weak. It is society that has labeled them this way, which causes people to view and categorize women as emotionally weak. Pollitt wants the general public to know that women are perfectly happy by being themselves, and not having to conform to society's expectations. Katha says that this is because society has labeled women as not wanting a job that has a lot of emotional ties in it.

This tragic fire demonstrated how the fire inspections and precautions were noticeably lacking safety for these workers even though “a little more than five months before the tragedy Firemen Edward F. O’Conner made a routine inspection and said the Asch Building was ‘good’ and the building was ‘fireproof’”(28). The fire finally died down with over one hundred dead bodies piled along the streets. Sunday morning “thousands of people began to form into a slowly moving parade around the city blocks”(89). The people were walking in honor of these workers and would go around trying to identify the bodies and confiscate any items the bodies my have possessed for reminiscences. On the other hand, the departments felt immediate quilt for not stepping in to fix the Asch building before, because the departments knew of the horrible safety and health precautions the Asch building had but nobody emphasized the problems. “But who was to blame?” (113). Chief Croker was quick to blame

Serving the community is one of the core values of the Franciscan Tradition, likewise it is equally important to the fire department. With dependence on Our Lord for guidance, the department will endeavor to serve all people with love, compassion, respect, and integrity. As a result, the department is often found educating the community in fire safety, specifically conducting fire drills, and delivering and installing smoke detectors to those in need. The department’s “Get Out Alive” initiative on instructing on how to make egress in case of a fire, becomes more beneficial when the driver is experiencing problems at the pump. The fire service serves every community, for all are God’s children, with love and compassion

Grey’s Anatomy, Chicago Fire, my life is nothing like that. Of course there are exhilarating moments on the scene of an incident or on the 5 Center floor of the intensive care unit, however, the realities of working as a fireman or in a hospital are not nearly as glamorous. Running into burning building and extracting people from impossible car accidents are not every day occurrences. In fact, seeing a building fully engulfed in flame is a rare sight that will leave you in awe nearly every time. On the first day at the fire academy I got a reality check about firefighting. At the beginning of each class we take a moment of silence for fallen firefighters. Nowhere in the job description does it say that you have to die in the line of duty,

Before the start of Drama Club the children would have a snack and have a chance to catch their breath after a long school day. Miss Lindsay would always start the afternoon with a “Question of the Day”, she always made the questions short and nearly always relatable to every child she would ask questions

In June, 2003 Kaimana, a girl that loves to walk on the beach, took a stroll on her favorite beach. She loves to walk on the beach because she like the feel on the sand in between her toes. She likes the breeze blowing in her hair and the view of the water. While she was walking, she found a glass bottle, with a light brown cork as the cover. She opened it, and a message flew out of it.

First, women in the professional world face harsh criticisms that are both portrayed in the media and rooted in Biblical interpretations. A Commercial by Pantene points out the issue of labelling.
