For my interview, I’ve decided to do a dual interview comparing two very different subjects: my mom and dad. My mother is an occupational therapist. Specifically, she focuses on injuries to people’s hands and wrists. Currently, she’s out of work due to Covid-19—for the first time since she was a teenager.

I chose the Blake digital archive. I’d definitely say it’s easy to navigate—the different sections are clearly demarcated and at the top of the page, so it’s easy to tell where things are.

Workview Reflection Society generally defines work in terms of profit. What labor is is something upon which a monetary value can be applied and something which benefits profit rather than something which necessarily benefits society at large.
