Below is an example summary of this reading selection: Americans often pressure their teenagers to get a job during high school, without realizing the values that such work now instills: how to follow very specific rules, how to think inside the box, and how to maintain the materialistic culture of their peers. Etzioni ends with the reminder that the rewards of education are worth the wait. Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
