With the modern social division of labour becoming increasingly specified, more jobs were created in comparison with the past. Some people argue that the abundance of careers frustrated the job seeker. Thus, it becomes difficult to identify which career can lead to a better future nowadays. Contrary to this opinion, I think people can find a job that fits their expectations for the future more easily these days.
Even though the variety in jobs may leadto people’s frustrations, it also provides them with more opportunities to choose suitable careers. Everyone is a unique individual. People may have different hobbies, different advantages and outlooks, therefore, are suitable for various jobs. More jobs these days indicate that people have more choices to select a career based on their own characteristics. In this circumstance, people are more likely to devote themselves to career affairs. As a result, becoming more certain about which career would bring them a better future.
Apart from diversity in jobs, the rapid development of the Internet also contributes to the easier identification of a better career since we have entered an era of information society. To be more specific, people can get an insight into a particular job just by searching for it on the Internet. Taking my own experience as an example, I received an internship offer as a valuation assistant last month, but completely had no idea what this job is for. So I quickly looked it up in the Linkedin website and found an detailed description about this position, even with comments posted by previous employees at the bottom of the page. Therefore, in present days, people certainly have simpler access to understand a job and then better realize whether it is the right one for their future success.
To sum up, in terms of more opportunities and an information society, it is definitely much simpler for people to distinguish what kind of career can lead to a more reliable and brighter future compared with the old days.
March 14, 2022 at 12:25 pmEducation, the dominating foundation of people’s quality of life, without which society cannot thrive smoothly. With more and more people recognizing the value and significance of education, heated debate over whether teachers are less respected in present-day society than in the past has been raging for some time. In some people’s opinion, teachers are more respected nowadays. Contrary to this opinion, I think the status of teachers in the past was higher than it is these days.
What should be prioritized is that technology is becoming more sophisticated in recent decades. Students can acquire knowledge by searching on the internet or using other social media tools, instead of gaining information solely from teachers in the classroom. To start with, the search engine is convenient since it is equipped with high accuracy capacity, stimulating students to retrieve information by themselves at any time. To be more specific, students can use their mobile phones to obtain knowledge whenever they like. In contrast, making a appointment with teachers is not as flexible as searching by yourself. Teachers are no longer irreplaceable compared with the past.
What must be equally worth discussing is that the expansion of the education system created a booming need for teachers. Initially, high demand for education and relatively limited educational resources these days leads to a lower standard for people to become teachers. In the past, a teacher could teach many disciplines, such as literature, art, science, etc. Their reputation was commensurate with their dedication and ability. However, in recent days, we can hardly find a teacher proficient in more than one field, mostly they are just subject teachers. Therefore, a teacher is more likely to be viewed as a job that people can choose to be rather than someone worth special appreciation.
In a nutshell, although teachers are still worth students respect in today’s world, in terms of technological advancement and education system extension, they are certainly less valued than they used to be.
March 3, 2022 at 1:36 amUndeniably, if corporations baned sending emails to employees during off-hours, employees may fail to follow up on work in time, and such a case probably misleads to the opinion that prohibits sending emails to employees will not replace their dissatisfaction. However, as far as fairness, efficiency and psychological factors are concerned, I strongly hold that the staff’s discontent will decrease since off-duty emails are forbidden.
First and foremost, as employees are protected by laws and regulations, it is fair to illustrate that companies have no right to ask their staff to do extra work, for instance, dealing with emails after work. To be more specific, an employee’s working time is basically confirmed in the contract that represents both the company and the employee’s agreements. Unfortunately, we have seen many cases nowadays that companies break such agreement by increasing workload which is hard to measure since off-work effort is unnoticeable, and staffs have to subject to companies benefits in loss of fairness while the employer suffer a risk of violating the labor law. As a result, companies should obey the contrast to emphasize fairness and form a better social order.
Furthermore, the fact that tight working hours can promote employee efficiency indicates that companies ought to ban extra emails during spare time. Take Savills, the company I worked for as an example: Savills never send emails in our leisure time nor require staff to work overtime. Thus, in order to accomplish their assignments during weekdays, all staff spare no effort and are fully devoted to work, which turned out to be more efficient and gain their deserved weekends at the same time. Had it not been limited working hours, Savills would never acquire such achievement and staff are satisfied in sharing the success.
Nevertheless, a voice rises that prohibiting off-work emails contributes to an inability to follow up work progress, which in return causes anxiety among employees and impairs their motivation. Ironically, without adequate relaxion and balance between work and life, a normal person certainly cannot attain energy or enthusiasm toward his or her tasks. In addition, staff who are overtaxed with work may have a psychological health problem and further rise negative emotions on their work tasks.
