**This is the transcript of my latest podcast. It is different than my normal posts, because it follows my stream of consciousness as I record.**

Hello, and I want to welcome you to another episode of the Wicked Orchard presents: Reality and Fiction. I am your host Sidra Owens, and today we are going to talk about the concept of work ethic. The idea of work ethic is something that comes up socially over and over again. First on a domestic level, when parents are dealing with their children, because children are just generally lazy and often times, don’t show any kind of work ethic. Don’t put in any initiative of doing something when it seems it needs to be done. So, it’s a particular sticking point between parents and children. But then on a larger scale in our society, work ethic comes up fairly often especially, as a division between the classes because the elites seem to think that everyone else lack in work ethic. So, with this topic in mind, I decided to do a little research and find out exactly where the concept of work ethic, as we see it as we encounter it, has come from. So, we’re going to take it way back, and I’m not going to give too much detail because you can easily research this yourself.
