問題詳情
克漏字：Distinctions between blue collar and white collar do exist. White-collar work, __11__, often requires a large investment of money and time in formal schooling. And, __12__, white-collar work leads to higher occupational status and income, more autonomy and less physical risk. But these distinctions carry with them unfair assumptions about the intelligence of the people who do physical work. Those assumptions have a long history, from portrayals of 18th century mechanics as illiterate and incapable of participating in government to the autoworkers I heard __13__ as “a bunch of dummies.” If society labels whole categories of people, __14__ their occupations, as less intelligent, then social separations are reinforced and divisions __15__ the kind of civic life we can create or imagine. And if society ignores the intelligence behind the craft, it mistakes prejudice for fact.
