Essay #3 first paragraph

(Emotional labor Affects Workers Within the Health care Industry Particularly in Nurses )

I will use this sentence as my essay title. Here is my first paragraph.


Today most jobs are service jobs. Workers deal with people rather than with things. Some jobs especially in the health care industry are more correlated and demanding with emotional management.When employees control their emotions in other to display the emotions that are expected of them in workplace, they are performing emotional labor. They may do this by suppressing or hiding their real feelings and/or expressing emotions that they do not actually feel. In another words, employees may express socially accepted emotions at work. If these emotions don't fit with situational requirements and expectations, employees may be engaging in stressful condition.In long run,employee's daily physical and mental activities will deteriorate. Even after finishing work, Camelita Lester, practical nurse from Studs Terkel's book, mentions that "The works don't leave my mind. I have been so long with her that it became part of me. In my mind it's always working (502). In physical labor, workers don't need to worry except for finishing on time and making sure a good has been produced. Within the health care field,employees,especially nurses have to put on a nice smile and be compassionate to patients because nurses have to deal with humans, not machine.Nurses have to create emotion for someone Else's benefit. Nurses take their place as distinct members of the health-care team. They are in a unique position to observe patient need.
