Essay Assignment #1

Write an essay in response to the following prompt:

The film Office Space (Mike Judge, 1999) would seem to portray a group of human beings doing what David Graeber calls “bullshit jobs.” First, briefly explain what that means, using both Graeber’s account and examples from the film, and then give a brief account of what would be wrong with that situation from both a utilitarian and a deontological (Kantian) perspective. Which of those two moral theories do you think Graeber most clearly applies? Which one does Office Space most clearly apply? Which theory do you think best captures what would be morally problematic about a “b.s. job”? Explain.

Your essay should be roughly 3 typed and double-spaced pages in length (12 pt. Times New Roman font with 1” margins). No cover sheet is required. Just type your name, the class, and the time of your discussion section in the top left corner.

You are strongly encouraged to discuss all aspects of this course, including this essay assignment, with your fellow students, but the work you turn in must be entirely your own. I would strongly prefer that you rely exclusively on the text assigned for class and your class notes in the preparation of your essay, but all materials quoted or referenced therein must be properly cited. Proofread your work carefully. It should be entirely free of all spelling and grammatical errors.

This was my first time taking this survey. I found the combination of questions very interesting- the fact that a few were about religion was surprising.

My results came back as primary: Striver and secondary: Thinker

Striver-

High revolving employment- definitely not true- I have been at the same job for 12 years

Use video games as a form of fantasy- I dont play video games- never have

Fun loving- I would agree

Are imitative- I dont really agree- I tend to do my own thing

Rely on public transportation- not true

Are the center of low-status street culture- Not sure what that means

Desire to better their lives but have difficulty in realizing their desire- I don’t really agree

Wear their wealth- don’t agree- I am not flashy

Thinkers

Have “ought and “should benchmark for social conduct- I agree

Have a tendency toward analysis paralysis- maybe, but I am self-aware and push myself to act (one of my personality styles is driver- I like results and action)

Plan, research, and consider before acting- I would agree

Enjoy historical perspective- Yes, but only has a piece- past ways of doing things are not always the way

Financially established- I am financially responsible

Are not influenced by whats hot- Usually because what is hot cost too much

Use technology in functional ways- I agree, I am not the first one to use or purchase new tech stuff. I will use it when it improves a task

Buy proven products- I agree. Good reviews sway me.

Val oh Val had me summed up all wrong. I took the survey and it had me come back primarily as a Believer and secondary as a Thinker. I would have to say that when I looked at some of the members of the group, it was totally opposite in most instances to who I am. I think they put a hodge podge of information into each category to identify with one characteristic you may have to justify the analysis.

For instance, as far as a Believer, VAL had me as a rigid snob that wears my skirt down to the floor and tote a bible. LOL I am a Christian, but I leave the judging to GOD

Then as a Thinker it said I plan research and consider before I act. I have too, I am a business owner. However, it then stated that I have analysis paralysis. Well if I analysis my way into straight paralysis it is no way I would have jumped into entrepreneurship. LOL Another thing, I am nowhere near financially established, I laughed at this loudly. I am a new business owner. Go figure.

Using technology in functional ways as a thinker means to me sending emails, texts and answering calls. I am so far beyond that because I utilize technology for my business advertising, e-commerce as a means to service my products, manny chat for bots, etc; Val you got this one all wrong.
