Most important among the cultural beliefs that provide a context for the individual response to unemployment is the work ethic. Essentially, the work ethic consists of several beliefs including the following: that work is virtuous in itself, that advancement through one's work is to be prized, and that all adults capable of doing so should work. 3, record 1, English, - work%20ethic
