Introduction:
Work is any function done by an individual or a group in order to attain a
particular goal. From a purely sociological point of view, work can be defined
as the function or activity that is undertaken by an individual or a group in
order to achieve a goal and derive benefits from the same (Grifiths et al.,
2019). Productivity that is rewarded helps meet the different needs and
requirements of the human population. It should also be mentioned here
that, monetary exchange is not a necessity in order to do any work. A variety
of different factors play a very important role in determining how well a work
or duty is completed by an individual. The factors that influence this aspect
of the human life are knowledge, experience, skills, abilities, awareness,
values, motives and needs (Zhang et al., 2020). Thus, depending on the
different skills, values and beliefs of an individual, he or she may be able to
work in a different way and complete a particular task more easily.
This paper aims to study work as a concept of sociology as well as the
concepts of urbanization and industrialization and how the human life and
work is being affected because of the same. The author of this paper also
uses the Marx theory to elaborate on this topic and discusses globalization as
a cause of change. How the human society is closely associated with work
and how the lack of the same can be detrimental to the physical, mental and
sociological wellbeing of a person has been thoroughly discussed by the
author of the paper.
