Abstract
The usual definition of spin in the Dirac theory brings about peculiar results which one finds difficult to visualize from an intuitive standpoint. An approach to this problem utilizing the framework of the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation is suggested. Applications to the description of polarization of beams and scattering experiments are discussed.Keywords
