Comparing habits and customs from different societies
87
Customs and habits evolve over time. The style of dress, music or activities for
relaxation people preferred in previous eras differs from what people prefer now, partly
because the symbolism some communities use to signify attractive or appropriate
dress, enjoyable music or interesting activities has changed.
Free time activities or leisure activities could be characterized as activities that
provide enjoyment or refreshment to the people in the community. Free time can
be considered to be the residual time a person has after they have attended to the
necessities of life (e.g. work, family care, self care). This time can be describes as
“free time”, meaning that during this time a person is free to choose the way in which
the time is spent.
