Many citizens propose that the state should provide monetary allowances to all social and cultural performers while on the other hand we have many who oppose this step labeling it as a waste of government funds. Paying incentives to the artists will surely help the talented get recognition and appreciation. But, do we have enough funds to do this? This essay will discuss the pros and cons of the financial support to artists. I personally believe there are many more serious national concerns which need to be addressed and funded before sanctioning monthly incentives to these people.

 

Policymakers, who support the idea of monthly incentives to artists believe that the endowed individual must be supported financially so that he can meet his daily minimal needs and is able to live comfortably. By doing so, the performer can pursue his passion with complete dedication, polish his skills and enable himself to flourish and get fame on national and international platforms. For instance, if a fine art painter is plagued by the burden of fending for his family needs from morning till evening, how would he ever be able to dedicate time to show his talent to the world?

 

Contrary to this, opponents of financial support to artists deliberate there are various other major social issues which must to be addressed and funded before taking a step like this. To name a few; poverty, illiteracy and health. Expenditure on allowances to artists will be a waste of money and imprudent to be considering it as a priority ignoring these above-mentioned issues. For example, food and education the most fundamental of needs must first be provided to every citizen of the nation before enacting such policies that look in to secondary lifestyle desires.

 

To conclude, although financially supporting artists with monthly allowances is reasonably a good idea, we however must not overlook other essentials society needs and must appropriately utilize public money before funding other undertakings.

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...
