This attitude towards manual labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life.One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortable but even luxuriously furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel，expensive hobbies，and college education for the children；yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself，will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward，furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery.On the contrary，the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes.
