TMP Detailed Questions and Expert AnswersDescribe how the content of the team presentation was changed as a result of
group discussion. - ANS OWEN: As a result of group discussion, the solutions
presented in our team presentation changed multiple times. Initially, we believed
that the best solution for solving worker mistreatment would be to raise the
minimum wage. However, once we began researching some more, we realized
that it was more complex than to simply increase the minimum wage; there would
need to also be enforcement. Thus, we created a two step plan, including both a
raised minimum wage and an expanded OSHA.
Student A, how did the group decide to include Owen's
perspective/lens/conclusions into the overall presentation. - ANS OWEN: Our
group included Owen's legal and political lens into the presentation by discussing
the political implications of our solution. For example, in our presentation, we
explain the partisan divide regarding an increased minimum wage. Owen
explained to us that the main limitation on raising a minimum wage is that almost
all Democrats support it while almost no Republicans support it. This makes the
process of passing our solution more difficult, as outlined by Owen.
Student A, how did the group decide to include Tammy's
perspective/lens/conclusions into the overall presentation. - ANS We included
Tammy's findings through the social and cultural lens about the community of blue
collar workers, what kind of jobs are considered blue collar, and what complaints
they have about their working conditions. For example, we learned that blue collar
workers are put at a disadvantage due to their inability to communicate with
corporate positions, as many of them are hired through separate staffing firms.
, Student A, how did the group decide to include Lauren's
perspective/lens/conclusions into the overall presentation. - ANS Used Lauren's
lens to fully understand that this was an issue, not only because of the large
amount of people that are affected, or its economical impact as richer companies
would lead to a richer company, but to realize its an issue that needs to be fixed by
its impact on the workers. It also helped us find good solutions, as some solutions
like having the government take control of companies, would be kind of unethical.
Student A, how did the group decide to include Christina's
perspective/lens/conclusions into the overall presentation. - ANS Christina: We
used Christina's economic lens to learn more about how workers were being
economically exploited by large companies and how a minimum wage does not let
them sustain themselves. That's why one of our solutions was to create a living
wage, a $16.07 rate per hour so that these blue collar workers could feel more
secure in their jobs.
Student A give one specific way that your thinking changed as a result of learning
about Owen's findings. - ANS As a result of Owen's findings on the political
implications of passing a minimum wage, my thinking changed. I understood that
due to the partisanship surrounding a raised minimum wage, our solution would
have limitations. Owen helped outline these limitations, explaining the lengthy and
difficult process of passing a law without bipartisan support.
Student A, give one specific way that your thinking changed as a result of learning
about Tammy's findings. - ANS Before learning about the societal implication of
the mistreatment of workers, our group focused mainly on the economic part of
the problem, such as low wages. After learning about Tammy's findings regarding
the lack of communication and the health issues that it may cause, we decided to
