    Respond to Rose’s ideas on blue-collar work. I read the article‚ “Blue-Collar Brilliance”‚ by Mike Rose‚ last night before going to sleep‚ and woke up thinking about it‚ which is why I chose this article out of all of the ones we have read so far. The author states how his mother “shaped her adult identity as a waitress in coffee shops and family restaurants” (Rose 202). This quote is what hit me the most because it shows how some people don’t have the opportunity to get a formal education‚ and

    Life is the Value Being alive should be the one thing to value about something that exists. Life itself should not have a set amount‚ but rather try to make sure the living take it as an opportunity for themselves.

    of duty. Duty is the moral necessity to perform actions for no other reason than to obey the dictates of a higher authority without any selfish inclination. Immanuel Kant states that the only moral motivation is a devotion to duty.
