Sociology Reading 2nd part

I was glad that this reading was not as long as the previous one. I found it interesting because it provided several examples, details, and information. As I was reading it reminded me about a high school lecture were my history teacher commented about a book called “The Jungle Book” that included similar topics as this essay. The most interesting part was how Thompson described the setting and the smell of the beef plant. It is sad that these people work under negative working conditions. It was funny to read about how employees express their individuality by violating some of the company’s rules without getting caught. I was surprised to find out that about 187 heads of cattle were slaughter per hour and about 1,500 per day. In contrast, I was not surprised by the financial benefits of the job because I was aware that people in these areas have a decent salary.
