This is my term paper. The report must discuss the findings interviews with three individuals who have worked in formal organizations over an extended period of time (more than ten years). All three individuals should work in different organizations. They can be family members or family friends. By researching and writing this report you will learn how to interview people, analyze interview data to write a paper, learn about the working lives of people, and perhaps most importantly from an academic point of view learn abstract thinking as you relate your findings to the class materials (poor working class, sociological imagination , how labels affect life, the roles of female and male, social change, conformity and status). Questions and answers are not allowed in the paper. The findings must be summarized within the paper. The format of the report must be : beginning with. a introduction describing the respondents and their work , their trace of work history. What job did they first start out with?
