Employers definitely should not have any say over their workers' private lives. The reason being is whatever a individual does outside of the workplace is that individual's own private matter. I believe as long as one is not slandering the name of the company, the private lives of workers', should be just that, private. An employee's personal life has not affect whatsover on how a person performs or fufills their duties at work. Additionally, I believe Ford's dictation of how a person should live, i.e., refraining from gambling, drinking, family size, are absolutely ludicris. These demands are indeed intrusive. As it relates to Ford's attempt to force assimilation on his workers (American values), is intrusive as well. As stated in the readings, the goverment's demand as well as employer's demand to force assimilation was met with hostility with the evolving population. This individuals wanted to keep and maintain their cultural differences because it kept them connected to their homeland as well as distinctly different. The freedom to pratice one's own beliefs helps them to maintain individuality.
