(1) In 1845, Frederick Douglass published a book called, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass that brought a new and fresh perspective to the evils of slavery. (2) Never before had a former slave had the proper platform to truly illuminate what life as a slave was like. (3) One of the main reasons for this was that most slaves were not able to read or write because slave owners knew that it was easy to keep people in chains if they were uneducated. (4) According to his memoir, Frederick Douglass learned to read and write, against the wishes of his oppressors, in bits and pieces. (5) It was only through incredible perseverance and work that Douglass was able to learn what his masters didn’t want him learning. (6) In his book, he discusses how important knowledge was to him, and knowledge also took things away from him.

(7) While educating himself opened a lot of doors for Frederick Douglass, in his future as a free man, he wrote about how it made life as a slave even harder. (8) In his memoir, he discusses perspective and how although he never liked being uneducated, slavery was easier to endure when he was uneducated. (9) Being enslaved was clearly torturous regardless of his education, but it became even more insufferable once Douglass began to learn more about the world around him. (10) Ignorance was bliss for Douglass, who now understood exactly how terrible his situation was because he knew what was out of his reach on the other side.

(11) What made this memoir so crazy and awesome when it was published is that no longer were people hearing about slavery second-hand from northern abolitionists. (12) Here was a freed slave risking his livelihood to give a true, first-hand accounting of how he was treated as a slave. (13) It’s hard to say what kind of historical impact this book had on America, but Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass remains one of the most authentic and harrowing condemnations of slavery that our country has.

(1) In recent years, companies have started putting more emphasis on making sure their employees are happy than they ever have before. (2) Companies who are choosing to shift their office dynamics are taking lessons from young tech companies, like Google, who have tried to separate themselves from traditional offices since their inception. (3) Their efforts show, too, as the percentage of Google employees who report that they are “satisfied” with their job is higher than most companies. (4) All companies should follow Googles model and realize that when their employees are happy, they are more productive, more proactive, and more invested in the company.

(5) One of the most ingenious ways that Google encourages their employees to invest in their work. (6) Google offers employees gourmet meals, areas to sleep, access to fitness equipment, on-site child care, and a generally fun environment. (7) In addition to making work more enjoyable for employees, Google is making them feel more at home in the office, which in turn incites them to work longer hours. (8) Juxtapose these accommodations with a traditional office with terrible lighting, no fresh air, and uncomfortable seating and it’s a wonder that employees are able to endure work even for their minimum contracted time.

(9) By creating a welcoming environment, Google makes its employees feel wanted, valued, and important. (10) Combine that with higher-than-average pay, great benefits, and extended maternity/paternity leave, and Google has a workforce that wants to help the company. (11) Are traditional companies with strict rules, uncreative conditions, and penny-pinching benefit packages just looking for employees to comply? (12) If these traditional companies begin to adapt a more creative, welcoming, and supportive working environment, they’ll have employees who care about helping the company rather than employees who just care about not losing their jobs.
