Leisure

February 20, 2020 2 Comments APA, Health Care and Life Sciences

This assignment involves a combination of research on leisure and introspection on your personal definition of leisure. You are to research the ways in which leisure is defined in the literature using at least 3 outside sources.  DO NOT use definitions from our textbook, Perspectives on Leisure, as they do not count as an outside source; also DO NOT use references from dictionaries or Wiki’s – points will be deducted for doing so.  Analyze these definitions in relation to your personal definition of leisure. You are limited to 1 reference from the Internet – the other 2 must come from books written by academics. Discuss your relationship with leisure using the definitions you selected as your frame of reference. This research and analysis will serve as a basis for additional learning throughout the semester. APA format required. 

My note: Don’t worry about how leisure is defined in the book just take a best guess. It’s not important in the scope of this paper but more about how it relates to you

Read the quote below from Evgeny Morozov, and construct a personal response:

Furthermore, in the hands of Facebook, authenticity becomes just a rhetorical weapon that fuels user anxieties and results in even more data being uploaded to the site. When Sheryl Sandberg writes that Facebook profiles are now detailed self-portraits that express our authenticity identity she is also stating the obvious: that the only way to make such portraits even more authentic is by uploading and sharing even more details. But Facebook wouldnt be Facebook if it didnt stack the cards against users. Thus, its embrace of the ideology of frictionless sharing in which everything we do is automatically shared by default and we need to choose what not to sharenot only exposes our self-portrait for everyone to see but also results in other users discovering and perhaps even liking our favorite songs and books. But if there are other users who like the very same things that you do, then perhaps you are just a fakeso you need to discover and upload and share something unique. This is a vicious cycle, for no one ever achieves true authenticity on Facebook. Sandbergs dream of an authentic identity is just a clever marketing slogan.

You may wish to consider some of the following questions while crafting your response:

Is the online self inherently less authentic than the offline self?
How might the design of social networking platforms influence the way we build our communities onlineor even offline?
Is Facebooks commitment to frictionless sharing purely self-serving, or do individuals and communities truly benefit from sharing so many elements of their personal lives?
