Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend, while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences. Discuss both sides of this argument and then give your own opinion.

 

Technology is immeasurably and intricately intertwined in modern day pedagogy. A section of the populace believe that it brings forth positivity while the other hand; the contrarians argue that it is driving education towards undesirable outcomes. This essay agrees that computers is immensely beneficial for students. And, it will elaborate both points of view.

 

Technology in education has radically changed the means of teaching and has influenced students and teachers in many positive ways. By using this tool, they gain access to various sources of information and learning processes at the click of a button. It is therefore agreed that the application of computer sciences is highly beneficial in schooling. For instance, children can enjoy the convenience and effortless virtual journeys and experiences like; online classes, virtual field trips, digital lesson plans, quizzes and online test activities among other things.

 

On the other hand, research has proven that technology has deteriorated student competencies in reading and writing. The social interaction between students and teachers have reduced, creating a void and leaving students isolated and in want of human support. human interaction has indeed increased through the virtual world and hence this essay differs on the point of view that technology should be abandoned because of this reason. For example, Zoom calls and WhatsApp has connected communities in a large way, as it has impacted relationships of individuals in a positive manner. Social media has increased the interpersonal communication between colleagues and enhanced teamwork which otherwise would not have been possible under normal circumstances.

 

Over all, modern technology is convenient but a vast majority of individuals still feel that time spent on gadgets has reduced socialization among students with their peers. Pupils should control the usage and never forget the essence of personal interaction. As long as they are aware that they are not addicted, it is not detrimental to their relationship with their peers and teachers.

As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing. What factors contribute to job satisfaction?  How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?   The gratification in a profession plays a primary role in an adult’s life, as a majority of the people spend their time at work. This essay will first discuss components which contribute to satisfaction of employees and it will then deliberate the question of how pragmatic the expectations of job satisfaction are, that workers experience at their organizations. The factors which lead to job satisfaction include the fair treatment of employees and the constant encouragement by co-workers and managers. This impartial behaviour espouses both positivity as well as confidence in the workers. Additionally, the motivating words by fellow mates at the company induces fervour and gaiety, thereby leading to improved performances. In a ...

Some people believe that teaching children at home is best for child’s development while others think that it is important for children to go to school. Discuss the advantages of both methods and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.   Some people advocate that educating kids at home is best for child growth and progress while others prefer schooling. This essay will explain the benefits of both the ways. I am of the firm belief that education at school instills discipline in kids and makes them self-dependent as it allows kids to engage in social interactions in addition to gaining knowledge from books and teachers.   The benefit of education at home are numerous but the most important is that children are exposed to a homely environment and they can learn things by observing at home. Parents can specifically and individually focus on kids while teaching them at home. Practical dem...

Paying all the workers the same salaries in a company promotes harmony and respect amongst colleagues. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Paying all the workers the same salaries in a company promotes harmony and respect amongst colleagues. To what extent do you agree or disagree?   There is a section of the working populace who believes that disbursing equal remuneration is what keeps employees cordial and reverent towards each other and consequently attached to an organisation. I completely disagree with this notion and this essay will elaborate on the following as my reasons. Firstly, there will be a very cold and dissatisfied workforce and secondly since the economics is about being equal there will be no motivation.   To be giving every employee the same pay is like feeding an elephant and a goat the same amount of fodder. One of them is not going to have a stomach full or one of them is going to waste it. This clearly illustrates the imbalance between two differently abled entities. A similar imbalance at the workplace will create numerous problems for the staff and the management which in turn wi...
