occupational group

occupational group

Short assignment. With respect to an “occupation” you have had (broadly understood: it can include non-paid work, participation in crafting; even being a student), describe an (informal) activity that you and fellow workers participate in that reaffirms your shared identity. What kind of activity is it? What values and skills are stressed? How does this activity negotiate status within the group? How does this group contrast itself with others? What conclusions can you draw about this specific occupational group from this analysis?
