J. Douglass Porteous wrote his statement in 1976 and varies to Mallett's statement. Porteous's viewpoint is that the home is much more than a place or a simple physical structure. He believes that the it an important entity and that it emotionally ties itself to the individual living the facility. A home is revered much more a geographical location and space it is a threshold for the being to live and survive in. The home supplies the occupant appreciation to their chosen home as they are stimulated by their homes as it becomes a haven and stable refuge for their existence. The home makes the individual territorial however quite simply stated although they enjoy and appreciate it the most fully appreciated paradoxically "only by leaving it". Where as Mallet's article describes home not as a physical place but rather a home is dependent on various of factors. Those factors being gender, age beliefs, culture, experiences and etc. As seen by both writers the idea and concept of home has changed over time however Home will always be a place that will engulf the person who belongs to it.
