Brent Staples’ Black Men and Public Spaces

Antoinette Johnson English 100 Prof. Horna October 3, 2012 In the essay The uphold shift, by Arlie Hochschild, he explains how the wives of two-job families with small children typically change state an particular 24-hour day in a year, between the pages 145(bottom) and 148(top). I agree with Hochschilds determination because once women come home from first shift, they go uninterrupted into second shift. Whereas men come home from first shift, and get to dismantle and choose when to work second shift.Most men wonder why the direct of affection is lacking in the home. I believe that the man in two-job families with small children are optimistic about the things that should be done nigh the house. I believe that they feel because theyre the dominant figure, that the women are hypothetic to do the majority of the work around the house. Then the men/husbands bread to feel a type of way because the women become resentful,.I dont blame the men for their actions, I blame the gravel s and their fathers father for not showing them the correct way to uphold their households. In my look women has always been the life support or backbone of any family. So really the women are the dominant figure. It takes a strong individual to work an eight-hour shift, then come home to cook and clean for another eight-hours. To likewise cater to the children and husbands with all their needs. Women should demand much help from their husbands during the second shift.That bare(a) 24 hours should be split between the two of them. If women stood up for themselves more often, men would start to appreciate them more while still in the relationship instead of when their relationship is over. In conclusion, as time goes on, the young generations will get it together, I believe. Husbands and wives need to come together and curb arrangements to transgress uphold the home. A more understanding husband summing up a more no holds bar wife equals a better home.
