Week 3 9/28-Oct 4 //

Complete this assignment independently. // After reading //Death of a Salesman//, you will prepare a response to the following essential question for the class discussion on Sakai: How could Howard have responded differently to Willy Loman's desperate plea: "You can't eat the orange and throw the peel away -- a man is not a piece of fruit!"? Identify a motivational theory to integrate into your well-reasoned discussion. You may want to consider the following questions, but you do not need to answer all of these questions: o What moral and ethical responsibility does management have for the disappointed, disillusioned, or displaced worker, especially as "downsizing" has become an increasing problem? o What human and moral understanding and principles does management need to respond to its human resources in this increasing technological age? o Why is Howard more concerned with his new wire recorder than a despondent employee of 34 years? o Is this a foreshadowing of the age of the machine? o Could this scenario relate to libraries?
