Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

The author reflected on how her personal background -- growing up in the Midwest with a Norwegian, Protestant work-ethic paradigm -- shaped her values, beliefs, and goals related to work and leisure, emphasizing work over leisure. Her experiences in Australia and Amsterdam, where she saw people prioritizing relaxation and socializing, caused her to ask:

Have we become a society of isolated workers who have lost sight of the importance of relaxing, socializing, and just having fun? Should we reexamine our culturally induced priorities?
