Work Life vs. Home Life
In the article, Work and Leisure in Everyday Life By Henri Lefebrve He talks about the separations between work and home life. He talks about how in the middle ages there was no separation between where someone lived verus where they worked. The separation only came around during the Industrial revolution. With that separation from home and work, people now had that time to do leisurely activities. Things that they wanted to do and enjoyed doing. This was their way of “reconnecting” to life as Lefebrve puts it. People needed something to get them away from work and make them happier.
The separation between work life and home life was a huge step for people’s mental health. Being able to come home after a long day at work and relax was beneficial to those who disliked their jobs or had more stressful jobs.
