Step # 3

When I was brainstorming about emotional labors and physical labors working conditions, I found more problems of emotional labors because most emotional labors have to do so much .Such as:smiling all the time, no matter how bad their days are they have to show that they are happy, they have to care about costumers and employees' profits.These make emotional labors a lot of negative affects because they take their emotion at home, their lives are not happy because they have to keep thinking about the working situation.As a result, they might irritate with their families for no reason.Even they can't spend their free time with families nicely, because they keep remember about work, dealing with costumers, and thinking about managers' satisfaction .I think emotional workers life is more stressful because most workrs are low wages and low status, with employees having little or no control over their workplace conditions."Emotional labor may create significant stress, which has mental and physical costs.Research has linked the inhibition of emotions to a variety of physical illnesses, including high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer.In fact, inability to express negative emotion is one of the strongest predictors of cancer".

My sources will be Airline stewardess, Counting, Practical nurse, old people's home, Up against Wall-Mart, hoschild etc; however I need to research from the internet I am looking for data bases this is very challing for me because I have to read some articles to get right information.

  1. Shoba - With the quote that you found via google, what is its source?

    For finding outside sources, keep in mind you don't need to read them all the way through before trying to figure out which will be useful - use the features of the database where they give a summary to help. And relatively short articles from newspapers are appropriate for this essay.

  3. Shova - This is a good post on your course texts and your ideas. When you find your outside sources, you can update or do a new post.

    As for google, remember it's just a search engine. You want to try to figure out what the sources that it's taking you to are, especially if you end up using them.
