Compare and contrast the concepts of structure and agency and, using examples, show how each is useful for understanding work and/or leisure This essay aims to demonstrate how the concepts of agency (an individual’s ability to act on their own accordance in relation to society) and structure (societies guidelines on how to act and the moral compass of society which constrains and guides individuals with rules, regulations and laws that are set by society and legislation) can be utilised as a useful tool to understand work and leisure within society by comparing (examining) and contrasting (showing the differences) both. Agency within leisure demonstrates how and why we make choices regarding our leisure activities. For example why a person chooses to play golf or attend a gym. These leisure choices are influenced by agency by factors including our workplace environment and ambition which can be shown for example in deciding to take up golf or join a high end gym. This has been seen in society as way of enhancing our work-life and prospects by networking and building up relationships outside of work with colleagues.

TUI UNIVERSITY Bob C. Smith Module 1 Case BUS 303 – Business Communications Dr. William Smithers 28 February 2010 Persuasive Memo TO: Booster Club Officers; R. Jones, President; J. Branson, Vice President; A. Connor, Secretary; J. Peters, Treasurer FROM: B. Smith, Boss DATE: July 26, 2012 SUBJECT: Company fundraising efforts The company fundraisers you run serve a great purpose; they raise money to enhance morale and camaraderie; free food and entertainment at the summer picnic, reduced tickets to the Christmas party and free gifts, and going away and retirement certificates. However, there are entirely too many fundraisers. These money making events are having a negative effect, causing a drain on people and resources. There are few active members who plan, set-up,
My site visit report was conducted on the BAPS Hindu Temple (Shri Swaminarayan Mandir) in Lilburn, Georgia. Not only was my visit a visual learning experience, it was also a mini vacation into a different world. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine such a beautiful and ornate religious structure existing within driving distance of my house. Ironically before this assignment was given, I traveled to the BAPS Hindu Temple with my family on what was supposed to be a “surprise visit to a place we had never been before”, according to my mother. I expected to go to lunch, visit a new state park or go out shopping in a new boutique, but I never guessed what I later saw as one of the most beautiful structures made by man.
Body Ritual Among the Nacirema Karie R. Shepherd Ivy Tech Community College Abstract The study of sociology allows us to understand the relationship between people and other cultures. As we define culture by a set of norms and values, we can also study how these cultures can often change over time. Several concepts, such as ethnocentrism and cultural relativism, can often change the way we think or view other cultures. These topics become more relevant as you read Horace Miner’s “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema” and force us to put these ideas into practice. How this short, but satirical, piece makes us initially feel or perhaps react to other cultures can say a lot about who we are as a person and our level of understanding and tolerance
Furthermore, postmodern tourism is said to break down traditional boundaries and replace them with a universe in which image, illusion and irony predominate (see also postmodernism). Third, other potential indicators of prestige include souvenirs, gifts, photographs, postcards and suntan, all of which can point to the relative affluence of the holidaymaker, and, in that sense, constitute symbols of conspicuous consumption. However, this association is
Are the literary elements handled differently? 文學，持續一代又一代被稱為經典之作。今天的文學被稱為當代的。選擇一個經典的研究（無論是夏洛特的網或紙袋公主）和一個當代的（無論是花的行李箱或和探戈做三）兒童書或故事，比較這兩種。考慮為什麼工作已成為經典。是文學元素不同的處理？ 3. Examine the illustrations in both And Tango Makes Three or The Paper Bag Princess and compare/contrast how the use of line, colour, shape, and/or texture – i.e., the stylistic decisions behind an illustration – add to or complement plots, characters, settings, and themes in the stories? 檢查中均插圖和探戈做三或紙袋公主和比較/對比如何使用線，顏色，形狀，和/或紋理 - 也就是說，後面的說明，文體決定 - 增加或補充情節，人物，設置，並在故事的主題？ 4. Social issues are a part of life and our society.
Each part of society fills different needs and each has specific consequences that form and shape society; all depend on each other (Crossman, A, 2014). Colleges and learning institutions are now providing non-traditional courses, such as “Death” and “The Joy of Garbage” to coincide with core courses to provide students with a better perspective of how each part of life plays a role in society.

Dr. Roberts also illustrates how we use what he calls the roundabout way to wealth to explain how we get richer when we specialize and trade. Not a trivial point, imho. There are also some side mentions of Bastiat's concepts of what is seen and not
Before I came to America, I really concerned about my academic studies. I want to be an excellent student like when I was in China. But I do not have confidence in my English ability. “I cannot compete with American students because their first language is English,” I said to my friends when we talked about my “exciting” life after I go to America. Some friends reduced my pressure by their understanding about American students; “All they like to do is join in the party; you will never see them studying in the library more than three hours.
