Using the readings, answer the following question:
Are you for or against Taylorism? In other words, should we continue using Taylor’s methods now and looking to the future—for production not only of tangible goods (cars, computers, phones, etc.) and services (like the person who takes your order at McDonalds) but also for the “knowledge economy?”…That would be the knowledge economy you are preparing to enter when you get your degree.
In Sum…
I want to know where you stand on this question, from a historical perspective, was it good for us collectively, even if it was at the expense of workers who did the deadening work? And would you agree or disagree that since it is still clearly an efficient and useful time saving, profit maximizing tool, should we encourage employers to continue using it in the present—even if it means dumbing down jobs that at the moment might seem attractive to recently minted college graduates?
This is your task. It needs to be a solid argument for or against Taylorism and it needs to be grounded in the history as well as how Taylorism is being used in the present.
