Undoubtedly you have periodically asked yourself the same question, perhaps focused on why you have to work. Selfa2interest?+in its broadest sense, including the interests of family and friends, is a basic motivation for work in all societies. But selfaZinterest can involve more than providing for subsistence or accumulating wealth. For instance, among the Maori, a Polynesian people of the South Pacific, a desire for approval, a sense of duty, a wish to conform to custom and tradition, a feea2ling of emulation (?o?u), and a pleasure in craftsmanship are additional reasons for working. Even within the United States, we cannot understand work as simply a response to economic necessity. Studies show that the vast majority of Americans would continue to work even if they inherited enough money to live comfortably. When people work, they gain a contributing place in society. The fact that what they receive pay for their work indicates that what they do is needed by other people and that what they are necessary part of the social fabric. Work is also a ma jor social mechanism for placing people the larger social structure and for providing them with identities. In the United states, it is a blunt and ruthlessly public fact that to do nothing is to be nothing and to do little is to be little Work is commonly seen as the measure of an individual. Sociologist Melvin L. Kohn and his associates have shown some of the ways work affects our lives. Generally, people who engage in selfa2directed work come to value selfa2direction more highly, to be more open to new ideas and to be less authoritarian in their relationships with others.

A research shed light on this ability in 1987. The cat s habit of falling out of open windows provia2ded the researchers with an opportunity to study 115 cats that had fallen from highaZrise apartments in New York City. The average fall was 5. 5 stories Of the 115 cats studied, 90 percent survived, including on at that fell 32 stories onto a sidewalk and suffered only mild chest injury and a chipped tooth. Interestingly, cats that fell from 9 or more stories suffered fewer injuries than those falling from lower heights. Among cats that fell from 9 to 32 stories, only 5 percent suffered fatal injuries, but 10 percent of those that fell from 7 or fewer stories died. How do cats manage to take falling so easily?For one thing, in comparison to human beings, a cat is much smaller and lighter. Also, a cat has more body surface area in proportion to its weight than a human being has. This increase in surface area results in greater air resistance, which slows the fall. The important thing, however, is that a falling cat apparently positions itself to form a sort of parachute(? u??e?). Less than one second after it starts to fall, a cat quickly rights itself in midair with all four legs poina2ting downward. The cat s inner ears act like an internal gyroscope, telling the cat which direction it is falling. With the legs pointed down ward, the cat then spreads its legs so that its body forms a sort of parachute that increases air resistance. With its limbs flexed, the cat also cushions the force of impact by landing on all four legs. The force of the impact is distributed through the muscles and joints. The researchers believe that the parachute effect comes into play mainly above four stories, at the point where the cat has reached its greatest rate of descent Of the 115 cats the researchers studied, only I of 13 cats that fell nine or more stories sustained a bone fracture, whereas most to the cats that fell from lower stories suffered some type of broken bone.
