Six Hour Day

Having no background on what the article “The Six Hour D… and How to Avoid It” by Professor Dewey is about leaves your mind guessing until you get around to reading it. This article is about study habits amongst college students. It discusses how many students claim to have spent a substantial amount of time studying but still receive a low grade; such as a D or F.

Times have changed since 1914 and we are still having issuses when it comes to the work environment. Both articles have made strong arguments; on what would be the best solution and how it would benfit not only the workers but the employers as well. However I agree that six hour days would not work. Either the workers lose two hour wages everyday or the employers hire more wokers for the jobs that are not being done due to only having six hours. All of the employees that they are forced to hire would not get a quarter of their pay because they are not full time.

I have quite a few friends that I know do not get off of work until 10:00 pm or 12:00 am. If they work until 12:00 am and get home around 12:30 they would probably get to sleep around 1:00 am but have to wake up at 7:00 am which is only 6 hours of sleep. There are a ton of studies that show

A six hour shift would allow employees to intensely focus on their work and be able to have the endurance to complete the work. Instead of taking more breaks in between the long eight hour shift, workers will began to manage their time more effectively to be able to productively finish the work in fewer hours.

In the event a six-hour work day was proposed, and should take effect. One would have to take in the consideration of the wages loss in that 2 hour period, as stated in the second paragraph of the section entitled Six-Hour Days Will Never Work.

The Civil War came at the beginning of the end of the nineteenth century. With the end of it came new thoughts about American ideals and where they ought to be. Railroads began to sprout out of the ground, and workers unions began to form, beginning with the National Labor Union. The Unions also brought along the appeal of the eight hour work day, which allowed people to split up their 24-hour days into three equal parts: “‘Eight Hours for Work, Eight Hours for Rest, Eight Hours for What We Will’” While some more conservative people argued that this would bring unproductivity to the country, many believed that this was for the best; however, what would they do during those eight hours for “What We Will?” New York offered a wide selection of
