WHAT ARE PEOPLE FOR ? In this new era of complexities and uncertainties , the man has led himself to move into the intricacies and unprecedented different shades of city life , intricately involving himself into the life that no doubt takes you towards the career growth but also takes you away from the roots of your culture . This is what the essence of Work culture , in What are People For ? In this story , Wendell Berry narrating his own experience , while walking one Sunday Afternoon with his older friend he happened to come across a decaying log house that once belonged to his grandparents and great-grandparents .

Once Wendell Berry , walked down an old fencerow in a wooded hollow in his own grandfather 's farm , and what he witnessed was the nature 's magic of rebirth again and again and how the people in their career pursuit , though destroys their very essence of roots yet again and again nature is reborn to where it is destroyed to again rebuild the career .
