Week 2. (EXTRA) Why do people work?


Why do people work?
I think there are two reasons why people work. 

The first is to make a living. You have to earn money to eat, buy clothes, and maintain a living. If you can't make money, or if you can earn just a little money, you can have a hard time continuing your life. 

The second reason is for self-realization. People make their own dreams and make their own lives come true. So they can achieve their dreams by doing what they want.

The individual's identity is performed through roles, and consensus between the actor and the audience. Because of this dependence on consensus to define social situations.  Stages refer to the three distinct areas where different individuals with different roles and information can be found.
