 Professionals and Professionalization

According to the definitions we’ve been using in the course material relative to professionals and professionalization, is a professional athlete a professional worker? Why or why not? Are athletes in some fields more professional than others? Does your answer change if you approach it from a conflict versus a structural-functional perspective?

  • Formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
  • Cite a minimum of two academic, peer-reviewed, scholarly sources to support your responses in addition to your textbook. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find these scholarly sources.
