Mike Rose grew up in a middle-class, blue-collar family. He wasn't the best student until he was pushed by a teacher during elementary school. In college, he studied humanities and social and psychological sciences. He later attended graduate school to study education and cognitive psychology. Although he did not have the formal education he currently has, Rose is able to analyze his memories of his mother and how she learned the same skills he studied in school, on his workplace. Having grown up in a blue-collar family, Rose is able to explain what it's like to work in this field based on first-hand observations. Rose's central argument relies on the widespread social debate between blue-collar and white-collar workers. Rose believes that blue-collar work is gradually being underestimated in society from an educational perspective. Rose states that intelligence, throughout history, has always been based on the level of formal education a person has received. He believes valuable insights can come from the hands-on approach that blue-collar work can provide. He is in the position of an employee raised in a working-class family and attempts to expose the reality of knowledge acquired while working in blue-collar jobs. He uses stories and images to express his point of view. The stories he uses are the stores of his family members who worked as blue-collar workers. In doing so, he is able to exploit his argument creatively. The images he uses show his family members in their fields of work, how they dress and what a typical work day goes like. Rose uses the stories of her mother, who worked as a waitress, and her uncle who worked as a factory worker. worker. Even if R...... middle of paper...... new way to make employees happy and efficient. Rose began to study how fuzzy-collar workers thought about her mother and uncle. and cataloged the mental demands of different types of work with fuzzy collars. He documents the skills developed and knowledge acquired by blue-collar workers to better support his argument that blue-collar work should not be undervalued. In conclusion, Rose mentions that as a society we should not measure a person's intelligence based on the amount of formal schooling they have received, and that if we continue to undervalue the efforts of daily work by simply saying that you cannot learn by making us a framework. a negative example for the future. Rose says intelligence can't be measured by what you learn in the classroom, because everyone, in every profession, can learn the cognitive skills needed to thrive in their potential workforce..
