Thesis (D.S.W.)--University of Pennsylvania, 1996.

This paper explores culture, the way people understand and structure their experience. Using a case study of one singular group of men and women, who worked at the Berkshire Knitting Mill, a full-fashioned hosiery mill in Reading, Pennsylvania during the early twentieth century, it seeks to understand the meaning in the everyday worklives of people. It questions how people reconstitute the world of work and what meanings they bestow upon the past and present as conjured in their stories, and how these stories in turn shaped them. It also questions how the policies and events of the time affected their lives.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This paper explores culture, the way people understand and structure their experience. Using a case study of one singular group of men and women, who worked at the Berkshire Knitting Mill, a full-fashioned hosiery mill in Reading, Pennsylvania during the early twentieth century, it seeks to understand the meaning in the everyday worklives of people. It questions how people reconstitute the world of work and what meanings they bestow upon the past and present as conjured in their stories, and how these stories in turn shaped them. It also questions how the policies and events of the time affected their lives.
520 $a The methodology of this study is the use of the life history that emerges in the person's reminiscences. The researcher's role is that of a co-creator, through her presence and guidance of conversation in the interview setting.
520 $a Using a phenomenological approach, where we learn people's conceptions of their everyday life experience, it is anticipated that the emic processes, the processes from within a group, may shed new light on ways of understanding the meaning of people's lives, in this case, how older people reconstitute the past, the meaning of past work in people's lives, the role of ritual and storytelling in social work.
520 $a The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of productive aging by learning the resources that people use to sustain their lives and culture. The study's findings show that the work ethic is an integral part of this older generation of workers' identity, and that social security and medicare are "taken for granted" and essential entitlement programs that provide them with a decent quality of life.
