Document Summary
Leisure"s role as we go through life"s various stages. A person"s leisure repertoire reaches a peak during early adulthood, and then begins to decline. Repertoire: # of leisure activities, choices, and experiences that are available to us. Our desire for familiar leisure forms is greatest in infancy and old age. In text: preparation phase, establishment phase, maturing phase, culmination phase. Social benefits: spending time with friends, family, sporting events, dinners, etc. Relaxation benefits: reading, playing musical instruments, painting, etc. Educational benefits: taking a new class, learning a new instrument/skill, etc. Psychological benefits: leisure becomes a huge part of people"s identities. Aesthetic benefits: appreciation of beauty in leisure (art, dance, music, etc. ) The age we go through the stages varies, but most of us do go through them. We don"t all enter them at the exact same age (but we all follow a similar pattern) If we follow the traditional pattern of working, marrying, and having a family.
