SECTION 1
HOME
A home is a place of residence or refuge.
It is usually a place where an individual
or a family can rest in and be able to
store personal property.
Modern households contain sanitary
facilities and a means of preparing
food.
There are certain cultures which lack
permanent homes, such as with nomadic
people.
While a house (or other residential
dwelling) is often referred to as a
"home", the concept of "home" is a
much broader idea which exceeds the
denotation of a physical dwelling.
A home is often a place of refuge
and safety, where worldly cares fade
and the things and people that one
loves becomes the focus.
Many people think of home in terms
of where they grew up, and home can
even be a time rather than a place.

REVOLUTION
There is more to learn
in home economics classes
these days than how to
hard-boil an egg.
You can start by learning
a new name for this domestic
course.
Home ec has been shoved
aside for its new moniker:
"family and consumer sciences."
