DO IT YOURSELF
DIY
Do it yourself, also known as DIY, is the method of building, modifying,
or repairing something without the aid of experts or professionals.
Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage
raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform,
or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the
natural environment (e.g. landscaping)". DIY behavior can be triggered
by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations
(economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality,
need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship,
empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

HOW-TO
A how-to is an informal, often short, description of how to accomplish a
specific task. A how-to is usually meant to help non-experts, may leave
out details that are only important to experts, and may also be greatly
simplified from an overall discussion of the topic.
In the modern era how-tos can range from brief directions that aid in
performing a task with which one is unfamiliar to full-length books,
generally intended to assist or inspire life-changing methods and
attitudes. They occur in the "self-help" genre, business books, and
the hobby industry.

ETHIC
The DIY ethic (do it yourself ethic) refers to the ethic of
being self-reliant and doing things yourself as opposed to
paying others to do it. The term can indicate "doing"
anything from home improvements and repairs to healthcare,
from publication to electronics.
DIY questions the supposed uniqueness of the expert's skills,
and promotes the ability of the ordinary person to learn to
do more than he or she thought was possible.
