TUESDAY 9/18

SR201
Today: We discussed Chapter 2 of the textbook which focuses on leisure education. Our small group discussions focused on 2 issues: a) Will leisure time grow or decline in the future, & what factors contribute to the growth or decline of leisure time in our society. b) Exercise 2.1: Ideal Material Wants vs Minimized Material Needs. We then, as a group, came up with reasons for why leisure time will either increase or decrease. Here are the main points to consider.
Factors Causing A Decline In Leisure Time
1) Limitless Materialism
2) Increase of women in the workforce
3) Increase in demand for service jobs
4) An increasingly complex society

Factors Causing An Increase In Leisure Time
1) Technology in the workplace and at home
2) Baby Boom generation retiring
