Ella Chaston's Project: Contemporary Issues in Work and Society - Work

This project, created by Ella Chaston, delves into the multifaceted concept of work within the context of contemporary society. The project takes the form of a poster that poses the question "What is work?" to the audience, prompting engagement with the topic. The poster presents a visual timeline of work's history, referencing periods like the hunter-gatherer era (40,000-10,000 BP) and drawing parallels with the construction of ancient structures like pyramids, highlighting early examples of teamwork and labor. The project explores the evolution of human motivations for work, from basic survival needs to the desire for a better life and job satisfaction, touching upon various theories and societal changes that have shaped the nature of work. The project also includes the reference list of sources used in the poster, providing a comprehensive overview of the topic.
