- Leisure
The activities people undertake during this residual time are characterised as playful and enjoyable and could also be classed as being recreational. They are suitable to each person who undertakes them; it’s all about choice. Leisure is described as a means to achieving socially desired and approved ends, and is consequently frequently described in such positive terms as ‘therapeutic’, ‘remedial’ or ‘training’, or more negatively, as ‘compensatory’, ‘sublimatory’, or ‘social control’. This definition fails to mention that it is the free time in which an individual has total control of his/her actions and the activities they undertake. Historically leisure has been perceived as being elitist, only accepting those with time, money and independence. Times are changing.
