I use 'Workers' a lot to get students talking. To most sociologt bods it is thought to be too naive and simplistic - an easy target which provides no 'answer'. To others it is an incredibly powerful indictment. Now I love it! As to whether it isa good tool... I think it is impossible to take an objective photograph whereas in sociology a lot of time is spent 'proving' impartiality or admitting bias. I've always felt they go well together, but I think that could be my love for PJ getting inthe way! Julian
