    Multiple Hierarch Stratification Sociology

    I will focus on research conducted about current barriers to recreation since historical information was discussed previously. Erickson, Johnson, and Kivel (2009) found that economic factors that were the result of workplace discrimination, had an effect on the access the African-American population has to national parks. Additionally, they discussed how fear from historical as well as current racism was identified as a barrier to park use (Erickson, Johnson, & Kivel, 2009). Mason and Koehli discuss the socioeconomic barriers faced by much of the First Nations population which impedes ability to access recreation facilities and opportunities (2012). They also discuss the lack of suitable facilities and programs provided on reserves, this is disproportionate to the amount of programs that can be found in other areas of Canada (Mason & Koehli,…

    Leisure of Contemporary North American

    Throughout the history of Western civilization, evolution of leisure has been linked to societal and political changes as well as to technological advancements. Aristotle defines leisure as “a state of being in which activity is performed for its own sake or as its own end” (Grazia p.13). The Greeks came up with the concept of leisure. They believed that a state could not flourish without leisure. Aristotle says, “The life of leisure was the only life fit for a Greek”(pg.19). The Greeks found leisure in ways such as music and contemplation. They believed that music gave way to other activities such as poetry, dance, and gymnastics.…
