Definition
The events and systems that comprise the experiences of everyday life.
Purpose
Studying everyday life is important in a changing culture, especially one that is defined and recreated constantly by technology. As a participant in a rapidly changing culture, one becomes used to change. It is only by studying the everyday that one can understand how much things have changed from one year to the next. In addition, the mundanities of one culture can be extremely different from another culture. One can thus study the differences between one culture, demographic or totem group simply by charting out and comparing their everyday lives.
