Ocio, Tiempo Libre y Empleo (Leisure, Time and Employment) (in Spanish)

Abstract

Work is derived from any activity, this provides security and welfare, resulting in happiness, the good life, man should concentrate on developing their craft because they become like gods, and to seek their freedom in activities that are end in themselves, their true life is leisure (“Skolian”) is apt for this kind of life, in order to seek democracy. Happiness is linked with the satisfaction of material needs to have meaning when they are limited, is well protected slavery as the value of work that does not allow distractions to hinder their development, avoiding material excess, but the work renders freedom it is imperative to meet the needs of daily living. Aristotle argues that happiness only appears at leisure, so the games must be conducted in parallel with the work, taking a break from work fatigue and leading to a break that emanates from the game. Happiness is in terms of the obtained and enjoyed, and an expected life is to enjoy every moment at work, it is likewise necessary to have free time, which becomes more and more in an attempt to find roots, enjoying the remoteness of the lonely. Unemployment is presented here as a threat to the enjoyment of life, underemployment is presented which should be taken into account in the unemployment, it is not a job, is a “how to get what the newspaper?” Is disguised unemployment but it is a real unemployment. This, unemployment will become more sense, though employment as such moves towards the services sector, here are tourism, which in industrialized countries generates a very high percentage of total jobs, but should not forget that in what is to happen are the effects and damage on employment. Thus, the income generated by employment make holidays a trend that should continue even if they have the means, and that man should not allow the loss of his humanity for the work, you must keep it at leisure. The challenge is then the generation of a new economic and tourism sector which results in the Postmodern Tourism.
