Analysis Of The Article ' The Nice Nails ' And Perfect Nails, Poisoned Workers '

In the exposition 'A hundred thousand straightened nails' the writer Donald Hall Started the article with a memory of how he started to know about stories of friends and family from his granddad at their ranch he would visit each late spring. He did this to give us the readers a general thought of the setting that his paper will happen in and as of what time in his life it was which was his initial adolescence years. The author in his narrative stated that “if I was morbid, it was not my grandfather’s fault” implying that every one of the stories of death didn't change his look on it, rather it better taught it, what appears like an existence occasion that had "struck" him was the decay of new Hampshire where things would change for the

Asian American women immigrants took the notion of caring for the body, nail care specifically, and made it into a profitable job. Asian American women immigrants made nail care into a profitable job by providing the service of cleaning nails, but also by catering to the customers need of having someone else do the hard aspects of bodily care. For example, they take in the toxic chemicals needed to complete nail care and do so with a skill that many who visit nail salons lack. Additionally, Asian American women immigrants participation within the nail salon industry has also assisted the industries overall growth as Millian Kang notes in There’s No Business like Nail Business, “…nail salons in the United States grew from 32,674 in 1993 53,615 in 2003.” () Ultimately, Asian American women immigrants capitalized on the notion of care and employed themselves in a now booming industry in order to create mobility for

In Nir’s discussions of the mistreatment of nail salon workers, an important issue has been partially overlooked. As the author herself puts it, “Away from the manicure tables they crash in flophouses packed with bunk beds, or in fetid apartments shared by as many as a dozen strangers” (Nir, 2015). She explains the dichotomy between their work worlds and their home worlds in a descriptive and disgusting manner, but it still does not seem to be enough. This is generally as deep as the author goes into the home lives of these workers, she gives two examples and moves on. In my opinion, this is not enough. I believe that in order to have truly conveyed the severity of these women’s plights Nir should have provided far more detail into how nail

When the time comes for a woman, or even a male, to get their nails done, it is not typical to think about the impact on the workers. The lives of the technicians are deeply impacted by their jobs and how dangerous the chemicals are they surround themselves with every day. Sarah Maslin Nir’s article “Perfect Nails, Poisoned Workers” from the New York Times, an article from Scientific American by Dine Fine Maron, and The United States Department of Labor gives many reasons why nail salons need to start protecting their staff. Workers suffer through painful losses and many health problems; some of the medical problems are life threatening. The issues caused the chemicals used and the health problems caused seem to be a lot for how long the products last.

Through a long year of persistent and patient reporting, Nir uncovered a shocking side of New York’s nail salon industry. Seeming to be from another era, the article suggests that the real price of nice nails is an underclass of immigrant women subject to horrific high rates of exploitation, tip skimming, wage theft, physical abuse, fertility issues, and other health problems. Who would have ever thought that in 2015 there are businesses advertising work for only ten dollars per day in the city? Or that the price of a manicure has remained the same despite everything else growing more expensive through the years? The exposé had a major impact as both Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio of New York promptly propelled emergency task forces and examinations to address the problems Nir covered.

Since the beginning, we couldn’t hire any hair stylists to work in our salon, which contributed the downfall of our business.

Towards the end of chapter one and beginning of chapter two we learn Some back and forth about each other's dads Nailer's is a lazy backstabbing bum, for the record and then Nailer heads back in. Nailer's in the tanker, following the wire. He wants to quit, but he worries that Bapi will fire him and that Sloth will undermine him in order to take his spot. The competition has ramped up.As Nailer works, he thinks about the kid who lost his way in the ship and died, only to be found mummified a year later. He also thinks about how he's going to be too big next year for this job.Nailer imagines rats and gets pretty claustrophobic. As he tries to crawl out, the duct he's working in collapses and he falls into a warm, viscous liquid.

The US nail polish industry has a total revenue of $1.1 billion and a profit of $118.4 million in 2012, with an annual growth of 2.3% in 2007-2012 and a projected annual growth of 3.3% from 2012-2017 (Panteva). The nail polish industry is able to survive the recession because they are sold at low prices, starting at a retail price of lower than $5 to $10 for professional grade nail polishes at drugstores (Panteva). Unlike other consumer goods, consumers are not as inclined to limit their purchase of nail polish, due to low prices.

Think about the people who work there. You can hear stories of illness and tragedies around nail salons. One of these tragedies are miscarriages and children born slow. As stated in “Perfect Nails, Poisoned Workers”, “… But she never spoke of another dreamed-for-child, the one lost last year in a miscarriage that began while she was giving a customer a shoulder massage… People thought Matthew was shy, but in fact he has barely learned how to speak and can walk only with great difficulty...seeking something that might explain the miscarriage she had last year. Or the four others that came before..." The reason for all these heart-wrenching stories? They're all linked to these workers who handle chemicals and breathe in fumes. “But firm conclusions are elusive, partly because research is so limited." As stated in “Perfect Nails, Poisoned Workers” These workers just work, work and work, since they have no one to tell. No one to tell of these horrible situations happening to them all because they’re being exposed to chemicals from working in a nail salon. These workers have no choice but to continue working in hazardous

The power that a nail gun has comes from the compressed air which is delivered by a hose from an air compressor. Nail guns themselves can cause injuries, but so can the force of the air from the compressor. An air compressor is not a toy and serious injury can occur. The pressure from the air can cause internal ruptures, blindness, and broken skin to the body of the recipient. According to Tony Ferraro, who writes a Blog on Compressed Air Safety, just 12 pounds of compressed air can easily blow an eye right out of an eye socket. Tony also notes that people can suffer an injury if a hose is damaged and unknowingly pressurized. It can “explode” outward resulting in injury to the user and also to bystanders. Additionally, the physical surroundings

Women love nail designs. However, while nail art is popular among women and many love it, there are few who do it themselves. So, what is it about nail art that women do not want to attempt it themselves?

My whole life I have had a pretty bad habit of biting my nails I don't even notice when I'm doing it. I decided to take this opportunity and use operant conditioning and see if I can put an end to this bitting. I used a positive punishment because I thought that it would be the fastest and most effective way for the biting to stop. I decided to use "supernail bite no more". It's a awful chemical tasting nail Polish that is used to stop nail biting. I chose to use this nail polish as the consequence because I don't even notice when I'm biting my nails and tasting this awful chemical taste Would have a fast effect. This was a really good punishment because the taste is so bad Everytime my mouth either met my nails or got close I started to

Background Checks - Owners should perform background checks on all potential employees before hiring them to work in the salon. If an applicant has a history of theft or other criminal activity, you should investigate them more thoroughly before hiring them.
