Government should spend more money on education than on sports and recreation. Do you agree or disagree?

 

Funding of the education sector by the government on priority and with more grants compared to sports and recreation is the need of the hour. I am of the opinion that the government should boost the education system and concentrate all possible efforts and funding to improve the schools and the colleges in the semi urban and rural areas for the reason that education is an important pillar for a nation’s growth. Though sports and other recreational activities are important for happy and healthy living, they can be infused with funds accordingly.

 

The education system in developing countries is very poor and it needs an overhaul. The increasing number of school dropouts at a young age is an alarming sign of the future problems like poverty, unemployment and crimes. For instance, an uneducated youth is very likely to take up robbery and drug trafficking as his profession for a livelihood which is not a socially accepted disposition. Private organizations, philanthropists, social workers and elite corporate houses are ever willing to help the government in strengthening the education system and the state should pay heed and work cooperatively on a public private partnership.

 

On the other hand, although sports and recreation activities are important for mental and physical development of the citizens of a nation, their role however, in the overall growth and progress of the country comes after a solid and stable education system. Sport teaches team spirit and a sense of competition, and is necessary for a happy and healthy life but only after gaining a proper and well-rounded education. Furthermore, food and housing sectors are the other sectors which the government should consider next, before funding sports and recreation. It’s important to have all factors taken care of only in the order of their importance and not otherwise.

 

To conclude, I personally believe that the government should give priority-based funding to the important sectors such as the education sector and it should get maximum grants followed by food, health and then housing. Nd after these have been taken care of should the government look at secondary essentials like sports and recreational activities.

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?

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...
