Happy Labor Day!
The
different faces of Labor Day according to the Agricultural, Industrial and Computer
Revolutions, although slightly different have one thing in common—a cause for
celebration! Agricultural Revolution
started in the Neolithic period when people gradually went from mainly hunting
to domesticating animals and plants for food which was also the beginning of
civilization. It was only natural for the farmers in those days to rest and
celebrate after the last harvest in September. Industrial Revolution perhaps was the most difficult time for
labors because laws had to be established to make Labor Day a federal holiday
on the first Monday in September and it became very political before this day
was declared a federal holiday. Computer
Revolution, a contemporary period; it is law and people gets to benefit from
observing this day as a day of rest and celebration because of natural and political
occurrences. Enjoy!
