In the article Ciulla states "work is not only a kind of activity but a set of values and ideas related to that activity." As an industrial designer I feel as though this statement is closely related to my field. I feel this way because when designing a product a lot of things go into it, the obvious one everyone can see is its overall purpose. However there are lot of things people may not be able to see right away, like the emotions and feeling a product gives a person because of it's purpose. When a designer is designing, they must always have these values and ideas in mind to be successful.
