In today's class, my Sociology teacher devised an excellent and highly memorable way of differentiating between white-collar and blue collar-workers:
White-collar workers: Non-manual jobs/professionals, such as doctors and lawyers. Blue-collar workers: Manual jobs, such as construction workers and hairdressers. My teacher's artwork makes it almost impossible to forget the difference.
One of my friends asked, "What's happened to his head?", in reference to the white-collar guy. The class laughed (in a polite way) at the drawings, although we did acknowledge their effectiveness. Our Sociology teacher is absolutely wonderful; it's humorous techniques like this that make her such a fantastic educator.
That's a great way to remember! But, also think of their uniforms. Professionals wear white collared suits; manual laborers wear blue uniforms (well, in cases of mechanics, construction workers, etc... not so much hair dressers).

ReplyDeleteMy Sociology teacher decided that his shirt was big enough already and arms would have made him bigger. :)
