relystrong enough to end the relationship. Only four out of the 54 people i

one of the four felt comfortable withthe break. As sisters and brothers ad

vanced into old age, closeness increases and rivalrydiminishes, explains

erviewed said they had supportive and friendly dealings and got along we

ll or very well withtheir sisters and brothers. Only 4% got along poorly. G

old found that as people age, they oftenbecome more involved with and i

nterested in their sisters and brothers.

ers increase innate adulthood. Withfamily and career obligations reduced

, many said that they had more time for each said that they fe

People nowadays seem to have the sense that their time has become more

limited. Comparedwith early generations we spend more and more time

working and have less and less free timeto engage in leisure pursues. But

this premise turns out to be an illusion. The mostcomprehensive data fro

m major Time Use Service suggests, if anything, Americans today havem

ore free time than the early generations. The number of hours we work ha

s not changedmuch, but we spend less time now on home tasks. So we ha

ve a great amount of time forleisure than in decades past. so why do we fe

el like time so scare. One problem is that timebecomes more valuable an

d time becomes more worth money. we feel like we have less of

s who bill or get paid by the hour, think employer and fast-food workers,

report focusingmore on pursuing more money than those who get paid by

salary and the fact has been fast. Inone experiment, people were told to pl

ay the role of consultant and bill their time by either ninedollars an hour o

r ninety dollars an hour. When people billed their time by ninety dollars a

n hourthey report feeling far more priced for time. Thinking about our tim

e as money, changes are ourbehavior as well. in one study, people who w

ere instructed to think about money beforeentering a cafe spent less times

chatting with the other patrons and more time working. Thosewho are thi

nking their time did reverse spending time socializing instead of working.

The first copy right law in the United States was passed by congress in

1790. In 1976,congress enacted the latest copy right law, taking into con

sideration the technologicaldevelopments that had occurred since the pas

sage of the copy right act of 1909. For example,in 1909 anyone who want

ed to make a single copy of a literary work for personal use had todo so

by hand. The very process imposed a limitation on the quantity of mater

ials , a photo copier can do the work in seconds. The limitat

ion has disappeared. The 1909Law did not provide full protection for fil

ms and sound recordings nor did it anticipate theneed to protect radio an

d television. As a result, violations of the law and abuses of the intentof t

he law have lessened the financial rewards of authors, artists and produce

rs. The 1976 copyright act has not prevented these abuses fully, but it has

clarified the legal rights of the injuredparties and given them an avenue fo

r remedy. Since 1976 the act has been amended to includecomputer soft

ware and guidelines have been adopted for fair use of television broadcast

changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that

followed in the wakeof 1976 legislation. The fine points of the law are de

cided by the courts and by acceptablecommon practice overtime. As thes

e decisions and agreements are made, we modify ourbehavior accordingl

y. For now, we need to interpret the law and its guidelines as accurately

aswe can and to act in a fair manner.
