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?

 

The use of technology has increased manifold over the years. Students, who are the primary users of technology have everything at the click of a button. This essay will be discussing one of the problems and a probable solution which are connected to the dependence on computers.

 

Time spent on social media these days is the key problem, students spend an enormous amount of time on public platforms and communities using either their laptops or mobile phones. Pupils are often seen at various times of the day irrespective of their commitments glued to their visual devices, and in complete oblivion of their total lack for things happening around them. This has resulted in the poor development of a pupils mental and physical abilities. For example, the Institute for Genetic Mapping has called out to parents and the society at large that if these lifestyle-indulgences increase and carry on, it wouldn’t be long before certain lifestyle diseases become genetic rather than acquired.     

 

The resolution to this perturbing problem is to ask students to keep their mobile gadgets in lockers or to disable them during class hours. Teachers should articulate and establish their expectations clearly and could also use it as a rewarding tool to provide for bonus credits to those students who follow such practices throughout the semester .This practice will help student drive their focus towards the class and attain better grades and health .For example college can provide student lockers to keep their essentials and set a cell phone using time slot during school hours. Schools can also have a technology class which will encourages students to learn about the positive side of using technology diligently. 

 

Recapitulating the composition, the main problem is the volume of time spent on social media via technology. To mitigate such problems parents and schools should work collaboratively and provide a stern schedule in addition to encouraging them to adhere to the same religiously. It is predicted that students will split their time efficiently which will enhance their multi-directional growth mind-set. It will also provide them aptitude to use technology efficiently.

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...
