Questions? Get live answers at PBwiki's weekly office hours (Wednesday 7th at 1:00 PM Eastern)
1. Where do the workers go after they have finished work?
2. Do they envy people in higher classes?
3. What do they do in their breaktime (if they even have a breaktime)?
4. How does it feel to be ignored?
5. How much do they get paid?
Answers:
1. I think that it is important to know the conditions in where these wokers live, so that we can influence people to take action in helping them.
2. I personally would like to know what their feeling ares towards wealthier people. I would aslo like to know what they think of us, and if a maybe they take what we say and what we do the wrong way.
3. If we all knew what they did in their break time, I think we should all try to provide something for them to do, and also it is interesting to know what they do in their free time, but do they have any free time?
4. I want to know if they feel ignored, and would they appreciate if we interacted with them more.
5. We could help out if we were aware of how big their salary's are, or in this case how small. It's important to influence others to help change this problem.
