Why does Tocqueville say that the worker has been assigned to a certain position in society instead of a certain job?

  Tocqueville believes that workers of large industry have been assigned a statues of lower class instead of being classified to a specific job description because large industry’s creates inequality and limits man’s progression. Inequality is shown through the workman and the owner of the industry by the jobs they perform. The workman is performing a task that is repeated over and over again, which becomes a robotic and mindless job. The workman becomes stuck in one job that does not challenge his mind thus making him a simple minded man with not much power and has lower statues in life.  

  Then there is the master or owner of the industry who has many job descriptions and tasks that his mind is being challenged for it. The owner becomes more powerful and greater by the day than the lower workman. What Tocqueville is saying is that the workman and the owner don’t have the same opportunity as each other because of their class, and higher rank in life.
