LIMITED CHOICES
Hughes speaks about workers being forced to work for bosses who exploit them and limit their opportunities for upward mobility. Mobility is supposed to be an upside when compared to the dozens of unsettling hallmarks of modernity - which include homelessness, job insecurity, and uncertainty (Singer, 133). Thus, being denied the chance to advance in society fuels Hughes' desire for retribution and revolution.
On college campuses, the students are similarly limited by the dining locations available to them. The barrage of complaints about college dining halls failing to offer a substantial variety of hot food options is never-ending. This is all the more unfair to first-year students, who are often required to eat at these dining halls due to the expensive, mandatory meal plan packages deceptively factored into tuition expenses. This system of forcing freshmen to eat at the dining hall yet not encouraging healthy meal choices only works to encourage poor eating habits, and thus needs to be reformed.
