Changing Attitudes to Work and Life Styles

Abstract

Understanding human behaviour is our everyday job. But it continues to puzzle and confound us. Possibly because we are only human ourselves, or possibly because we lose touch with our sense of identity and our ability to under stand ourselves. It is presumptuous to seek to explain fully and rationalize the diverse changing attitudes of Western society to work and life styles. Given the limits of time and knowledge, I shall address a selected number of areas in an effort to shed a bit of light on what seems to be going on around us.
