“Ugliness, squalor are breeding grounds for revolution. Beauty is conducive to tranquillity, happiness. Beautifying of homes and places of worship began with the dawn of civilization. Beautifying of workplaces is only in its infancy. Yet, since men normally spend more than half of their waking hours at work, surely it is important that adequate attention be devoted to elevating their working environment, whether office or factory, foundry or machine shop, mine or warehouse. Beautiful surroundings subtly encourage beautiful living. Drab surroundings, bad air, bad light, evoke bad reactions.” MenImportantHomeLightBeautifulHoursWorkAttentionHalfEnvironmentAirMinesRevolutionCivilizationOfficeWorshipMachinesReactionsDawnShopsWakingFactoriesDevotedWorkplaceAdequateSurroundingsUglinessEvokeBreedingInfancyTranquillityElevatingWarehouseSqualorPlaces Of WorshipMachine Shop Author:B.

“Even a hundred and fifty years ago, football was popular because it provided a manly spectacle that lots of men needed, after the industrial revolution. We went from a culture that lived out doors and expanded the frontier and fought the Indians to a bunch of guys in offices. So football provided this jolt, a kind of exalted cult of masculinity. And it still does that. Perhaps even more so today.” MenYearsKindDoeStillsTodayGuyCultureDoorsFootballRevolutionNeededOfficeHundredYears AgoBunchFiftyCultMasculinityFrontiersExaltedManlyIndustrial Revolution Author:Steve Almond
