TASK ONE:
Research, understand and write about in the form of a blog post the Craftsman theory by Richard Sennett. The link below take you to a review of one of his books and is a useful starting point. You may find you only need this one link as it is very thorough; feel free, however, to do further research if it raises any questions or you just want more detail.
