work in an office, and the majority of that group of people hate their jobs. Well, Stanley is not a part of the majority of the office workers; Stanley is different than the other workers. “Sure, working is not that bad,” Stanley states. On the other hand, when the other workers got asked about work they say, “Work?

Hudson defines four such models in his book American Democracy in Peril: the Protective, Developmental, Pluralist, and Participatory models of democracy (Hudson, 8-19).
