A history and survey, cultural style with interviews, of how Americans choose to live their lives. How much does career matter? How much does family matter? From where does one get one's identity (e.g. being in clubs)? * The Managed Heart, by ___. (Sorry, I'm bad on names today.) This is a story of how flight attendants are trained, especially how they are taught to manage their emotions and always look happy no matter how frustrating things get. The customer is always right, etc.. But at what cost to the flight attendants' themselves? Best of luck with your course, Jean Jean Czerlinski Max Planck Institute for Psychological Research
