You may write about a job you currently or previously have been involved with or one which your friends or family have been engaged in.In order to argue for a “cognitive biography,” you will need to apply direct sentences (three quotations) from Rose’s article which describe the “on the job intelligence” needed in the job you are writing about.In your conclusion, put into your own words what you think the meaning is of Rose’s idea that a separation between mind and body “cripple[s] our ability to talk across cultural divides.”NOTE: If you write about food service or factory work, be sure to include new elements of “cognitive labor” to avoid repetition.OPTION #2Responding to Kenneth Goldsmith’s “Go Ahead: Waste Time on the Internet,” write an essay in which you examine the critiques of the “Internet” brought up in his article.
