In the handout "Exploring The Managed Heart", Arlie Russel Hochschild compared the work of a seven year old child in a wallpaper factory in the 19th century to the work of a flight attendant. The connection that these two workers have is that they both are in a sense alienated from their work. As a child at seven years old, he had no attachment to the work he did. According to Karl Marx, he compared this child and other workers like the child to a mere instrument. This child wasn't able to eat or rest, he was basically a slave to the work he did. The flight attendants job wasn't anywhere near as dreadful. However, the alienation between her and the work she did was that she couldn't be herself at work. She had to always smile no matter what her mood was in, she had to wear a certain amount of makeup and also wear a uniform. She had no say in anything she did or felt while she was working. She doesn't only have to do physical and mental labor, she also had to practice emotional labor. By emotional labor, the writer meant that your facial and body expressions go hand and hand with the physical and mental labor. The way you act and present yourself, go towards your pay check. I believe the flight attendant has a better job because she has a lot more benefits and luxury, then a seven year old child does working in general, even more working using dangerous machinery .
