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?

 

Nowadays, pupils are highly dependent on technology such as computers and mobile phones. This essay will discuss one of the primary problems related to the dependence on computers and recommend a feasible solution.

 

Students’ unwarranted reliance on computers is leading to an arrest/apprehension of their cognitive abilities. According to a survey conducted during the academic session of 2018-19, it was observed that eighty percent of the pupils wholly depended on technology for calculating mathematical problems and to a great extent for research on matters related to subjects of study. This has consequently resulted in the impaired growth of intellectual faculties of learners.

 

A solution to this perturbing problem is that the school must conduct sessions on Vedic Maths for basic calculations and assure mandatory library visits for the students. Moreover, the regular practice of techniques to solve mathematical equations in an easier and faster way, will not only instill confidence in the learners but also generate an affinity towards the subject. A frequent visit to the library would metamorphose the pupils into avid readers and enable them to inquire more about the theme by utilising the information given in the books. For example, many schools have added a compulsory library period to their time table which is specifically used for research. Workshops based on swift computations have also become a part of the curriculum of various educational institutions.

 

In summary, one of the primary problems with over dependence on computers in education is the lack in growth of intellectual abilities of the learners. It is predicted that the extensive use of the library and practise of Vedic Maths would ensure a disciplined development of the cognitive faculties of students.

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...
