Students are becoming more and more reliant on computers. What are some of the problems associated with reliance on computers, and what are some of the possible solutions?

 

Technology, particularly the computer in modern day education plays an extremely vital/pivotal role in developing occupational expertise and life skills. However, there are pros and cons associated with this essential component of our socio-economic infrastructure. This essay will outline the main problem and give a possible solution.

 

The main problem with using the computer for extended periods of time is that it brings upon us lifestyle and sedentary occupational diseases. Immobility is induced by such occupations that it warrants a person to be stuck and to stay put at one place with a much hinger intensity of concentration than it would be required in an occupation where there is movement. This results in the body having to adjust to various physiological and chemical imbalances and inequities that give rise to the infamous diseases of the modern world. For example. India with its high percentage of sedentary workforce has emerged as the diabetes capital of the world.

 

For mitigating these kinds of irregularities, we should have parental impositions and restrictions so as to enable the effective and productive use of technology. For it is wisely said that excess of anything is poisonous. Furthermore, parents and learning centers should encourage pupils to develop self-control to help them cope compulsiveness and even addiction. For example, we should reintroduce the traditional old-fashioned way of education; pedagogy based on buddha’s educational philosophies of self-control and the timely access to required things for work.

 

In conclusion, the main problem is lifestyle induced and sedentary occupational diseases brought upon because of our occupational pursuits. Fixing the educational system and reintroducing age-old methods and approaches will divert pupils today towards a healthier lifestyle and they will be relatively more active and physically more adequate. lifestyle changes may take a conscious effort at first, but the value of being more physically active helps in overcoming this.

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...
