Everyday life or Daily life is a phrase used to refer to the ways in which people typically act, think, and feel on a daily basis. Everyday life may be described as considered mundane, routine, natural or habitual. Sometimes it is called normality. Human diurnality means most people sleep at least part of the night and are active in daytime. Most eat two or three meals in a day. Working time, apart from shift work is mostly on a daily schedule, beginning in the morning. This produces the daily rush hours experienced by many millions. Evening is often leisure time. Bathing every day is a custom for many. Beyond these broad similarities, different people spend their day differently. Nomadic life differs from sedentism, and among the sedentary, urban people live differently from rural ones.

The argument is that, motivated by capitalism and industrialism's degrading effects on human existence and perception, writers and artists of the 19th century turned more towards personal reflection and the portrayal of everyday life represented in their writings and art to a noticeably greater degree than in past works. Though other theorists dispute this argument merely based on a long history of writings about daily life which can be seen in works from Ancient Greece, Medieval Christianity and the Catholic Enlightenment. In the study of everyday life gender has been an important factor in its conceptions. Some theorists regard women as the quintessential representatives and victims of everyday life.〔 The connotation of everyday life is often negative and is distinctively separated from exceptional moments by its lack of distinction and differentiation, ultimately defined as the essential, taken-for-granted continuum of mundane activity that outlines forays into more esoteric experiences. It is the non-negotiable reality that exists amongst all social groupings without discrimination and is an unavoidable basis for which all human endeavor exists.〔 Much of everyday life is automatic in that it is driven by current environmental features as mediated by automatic cognitive processing of those features, and without any mediation by conscious choice, according to social psychologist John A. Bargh.〔Wyer/Bargh 1997, p. 2.〕 Daily life is also studied by sociologists to investigate how it is organised and given meaning. A sociological journal called the ''Journal of Mundane Behavior'', published 2000 - 2004, studied these everyday actions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everyday life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
