Collective Agency, Structures and Ethnic Groups

Paper Summary:

This paper attempts to identify the collective agency of minority groups in U.K. society, the structures that influence them and then comments on the effects of such.

From the Paper:

"Language also influences the way we are seen by our workmates. British English has lots of please & thank you's & is concerned about the feelings of others. But English from other countries can be more or less direct, use fewer 'please & thank you s' . The tone & syntax can be mis-interpreted too. Carter quoted non white workers who noted that 98% of disciplinary cases involved ethnic minorities' workers, felt that discipline was heavy handed with non white workers & that white workers were inexperienced in working with ethnic minorities."
