I N a theoretical analysis of industrial society such as is given in the preceding section, the problems tend to crystal lize around the two conceptual foci , equal opportunities and status and function. As we project this analysis into the con crete reality we see that the problems to be solved are quite different i n the case of the industrial middle class, the fore man, and i n that of the hourly worker. The foreman's un solved problem is almost exclusively that of middle-class status and function. The worker lacks equal opportunities as wel l as status and function.
