Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page review of Richard Florida's "The Rise of the Creative Class and How It's Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life". Examining the presumed experiences of two time travelers, one who travels from 1900 to 1950 and the other who travels from 1950 to the present, the contention is presented that neither has our technology been responsible for the shaping of our culture nor have the stronger members in our society imposed their values on the rest of the world in order to shape this culture. Instead we have changed because we sought change and the evolution of a Creative Class has been a critical element in this process. No additional sources are listed.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
Rise of the Creative Class and How Its Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life" author Richard Florida considers the question of who would experience the more change, a time
traveler from 1900 who was mysteriously transported to 1950 or the time traveler from 1950 who was transported to our modern day. Florida contends that the technological differences these
two time travelers would experience would be tremendous. Florida presents the argument that, as opposed to the 1950s time traveler who was transported to the modern day, it would
be the time traveler from 1900 who was transported to 1950 that would experience the most technological change. Technological change, however, isnt the only type of change our two
time travelers would witness. There would be deep societal changes as well, changes which could, in fact, disrupt the scenario where it would be the time traveler from the
1900s experiencing the greatest degree of change. More than likely, it would be the time traveler from the 1950s who would experience the greatest degree of societal change in
this experiment. Floridas point, therefore, is that there is a difference between the technological changes we have experienced over time and the societal changes. Both types of change,
however, has gone hand in hand with the creation of a new societal class. That class is the Creative Class. Florida contends
that in a technological sense the traveler from the 1900s would encounter so many new and different things that he would have trouble adjusting. Not only would he see
the automobile in common usage rather than the buggy and horse of his own time, he would witness road congestion and the infuriating traffic jams which go along with it.
