问题    Why work? 【S1】  you have periodically asked yourself the same question, perhaps focused on 【S2】  you have to work. Selfinterest in its broadest 【S3】  including the interests of family and friends, is a basic 【S4】  for work in all societies. But self-interest can 【S5】  more than providing  for  subsistence  or 【S6】  wealth. For instance, among the Maori, a Polynesian people of the South Pacific, a desire for approval, a sense of duty, a wish to 【S7】  to custom and tradition, a feeling of emulation(竞争), and a pleasure in craftsmanship are 【S8】  reasons for working. Even within the United States, we cannot understand work as simply a response to 【S9】  necessity. Studies show that ’the vast 【S10】  of Americans would continue to work even if they inherited enough money to live comfortably.
   When people work, they gain a 【S11】  place in society. The fact that they receive pay for their work indicates that 【S12】  they do is needed by other people and that they are a necessary part of the social 【S13】 . Work is also a major social mechanism for 【S14】  people in the larger social structure and 【S15】  providing them with identities. In the United States, it is a blunt and 【S16】  public fact that to do nothing is to be nothing and to do little is to be little. Work is commonly seen as the measure of an individual.
   Sociologist Melvin L. Kohn and his associates have shown some of the ways work affects our lives. 【S17】 , people who engage in selfdirected work come to 【S18】  self-direction more highly, to be more open to new ideas and to be less authoritarian in their relationships with others. 【S19】 , they develop self-conceptions consistent with these values, and as parents they pass these characteristics on to their children. Our work, then, is an important 【S20】  experience that influences who and what we are.
