work


In physics, work is defined as a force causing the movement—or displacement—of an object. In the case of a constant force, work is the scalar product of the force acting on an object and the displacement caused by that force. Though both force and displacement are vector quantities, work has no direction due to the nature of a scalar product (or dot product) in vector mathematics. This definition is consistent with the proper definition because a constant force integrates to merely the product of the force and distance.

Why is work important?


The status of work in contemporary societies is the result of a long historical process. It is not only an indispensable means of enhancing individual senses of usefulness and belonging but also of providing financial means. Work is also central in several other dimensions, namely in its role as a socializing mechanism, as a source of social exchanges, and individual identities. Thus, work can be seen as the pillar of social organization, but also, to a large extent, as an important pillar of the existential organization of individuals. It is a fundamental feature in many dimensions of social integration, such as health, housing, and interpersonal networks. Hence, the relevance of Work Integration Programmes (WIP) aimed at improving the condition of vulnerable groups.

work is an important feature in structuring: personal and social identity; family and social bonds; ways of making money, and thereby accessing a number of essential and non-essential goods, services and activities; daily routines; level of activity; physical and mental well-being; self-confidence and self-esteem; a sense of self-worth provided by the feeling of contributing to society or the common good

•For societies, 

work is an important feature in promoting community cohesion and safety; increasing civic participation; reducing public spending in a range of welfare benefits (provided, of course, that work is performed in a decently paid job); promoting social and economic development; organizing social life at a macro level.

When success in these dimensions is challenged WIPs become more important. The relevance of WIPs is made even more acute when both macro and microstructural conditions create obstacles to the positive role of work. These must be carefully considered:

Macrostructural conditions:

 the current European crisis reflected in the rise of unemployment and job precariousness; the transformation of work ethics that has been going on over the past few decades: as jobs become increasingly precarious, subject to sudden change or elimination, individuals have a decreased sense of security, commitment and loyalty towards their jobs and each other (see: Public Policy).
Microstructural conditions: work is not, by itself, synonym with integration. Indeed, precarious, unappealing, dangerous, low-paid, and low-status jobs relegate individuals to the margins of society.
Yet, despite these current conditions, work is still a central piece in our societies and a crucial factor in the social integration of vulnerable groups.

Joint family

A family when lives together with all family members up to 2nd generation like grandparents, parents, uncle, aunts and their children is called a joint family. The importance of a joint family is understood by the Indians since time immemorial.

But while young people are going advanced with their lifestyles, they are shy away from living jointly with their parents and grandparents. These people are usually missed a lot of fun, caring, elder guidance from time to time which causes a lot of problems in the future like loneliness, frustrations. In the joint family, all members are equally sharing all expenses, works, and other things with the other members of the family so the burden of work will not be felt by any single person.
