Among the issues you can talk about in the response are: The value of work - how is it related to Christianity? According to Weber, What is Protestant ethic and is Capitalism rooted in it? What is leisure, according to Pieper? How is it connected to religious beliefs? Lastly, and this is not in the readings - where do you see the concepts of work and leisure in education? Said differently, do you think the school day resembles work or leisure? or maybe both? Max Weber - The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism only read chapters 2 and 5 - which are pages 13-39, 102-126 Josef Pieper - Leisure: The Basis of Culture only read chapters 1, 3, and 5
