Two questions

Some people believe that change is the order of the day, and there is no wonder food and dress culture/s change over time. But there are some others who take it the other way round. What would be the arguements for both the views? Some governments set aside sizeable amount of money to safeguard the cultural and traditional values of the people. Some say it is a waste of exercise, while others say it is worth spending. Which view do you support and state why?

Environmentally speaking, keeping a week day closed every week would do great favours for the planet. but business-wise, it may not be that attractive. What are advantages of a four day week in terms of environment? What are business implications of such an office order?

Four day week and its ins and outs

Some people believe that four-day-week with longer working hours would make employees enjoy life and, as a result, perform better when they are at work. But there are people who think that fewer working days would do more harm than good. Essay 003 • Look at both the views and express your opinion on them. Does four-day week make people put in more? Opinions differ of course. But not many would oppose the idea that more free time lets employees enjoy a lot of family time. What I feel is that humans, being basically lazy, may take it as an opportunity to be complacent. First of all, let me see how employees are going to take four-day week concept. Four working days and three holidays a week would look really great because there is enough room for family time, professional, personal and social times. This makes employees enjoy greater work life balance. This will of course pay them great dividends. This improved working environment may make some employees put in more and contribute better in terms of service. This extra energy may take the production graph scale new highs. But, from an employer’s point of view, there is a little concern because paying for seven days and getting three days’ service back may not make great business sense. However rejuvenated an employee may return to work after three days’ break, he or she may take a day to get over the holiday blues. This would leave the employer with only three days a week, with the third day being a weekender. Coupled with this is humans’ inherent nature of being lazy. So, four-day week may not do much good. Lesser working days make people lazier. The above findings on four-day week make it clear that less number of working days is likely to do more harm than good. So, it is right to say that keeping employees engaged is much better than letting them free for longer days. 270 words Ajaypeesdoc 21.11.2012

The essay is written halfway through. try to complete it all by yourselves. The whole world is concerned much about how long man is going to be living life sustainably, but there is a view that not much is said about how long man is going to keep the Planet sustaining. • What do you think are the elements of sustainable human life? • Suggest your own ways to keep the Planet sustaining? ‘Sustainability’ is the most talked about idea across the world. But mostly it is about sustainable human life. This essay is going to identify the instruments of such a human life and also make a few recommendations to keep the Planet going on and on. The most striking element of sustainable human life is the resource security. What I mean is that man all the ages to come need to have what is needed to keep his going. Second thing is that the place he lives in, no matter where it actually is, needs to be worthy of human life. For example, a hostile atmospheric or climatic condition is not going to keep man comfortable. Thirdly, it is right to add that the expansion of human population in the days to come needs to be up-to the expectations or the limitations of the Planet.

Sustainability of humans and the planet

The whole world is concerned much about how long man is going to be living life sustainably, but there is a view that not much is said about how long man is going to keep the Planet sustaining. • What do you think are the elements of sustainable human life? • Suggest your own ways to keep the Planet sustaining? ‘Sustainability’ is the most talked about idea across the world. But, it is mostly about sustainable human life. This essay is going to identify the instruments of such a human life and also make a few recommendations to keep the Planet going on and on. The most striking element of sustainable human life is the resource security. What I mean is that man of all the ages to come needs to have what is needed to keep his life going. Second thing is that the place he lives in, no matter where it actually is, needs to be worthy of human life. For example, a hostile atmospheric or climatic condition is not going to keep man comfortable. Thirdly, it is right to add that the expansion of human population in the days to come needs to be up-to the expectations or the limitations of the Planet. When it comes to keeping the Planet going on for all the ages to come, my first recommendation is to maintain ecological balance; to be precise there should not be ecological overshoot. For example, man should give the planet the time to produce what is already taken. My second idea is to let the Planet breathe easy by being free from unbearable pollution and exhausts. Thirdly, the Planet needs to be kept blanketed with much more green expanses. This would make the Planet balance its ecosystem: man, water, air, wild life and natural wealth. My conclusion is the is no sustainability for man sans the same for the place he is in. so sustainability is a blend of a set of elements, and these elements are dependent on how man behaves with the Planet. The suggestions I have made here are examples of that behaviour. 280 words Ajaypeesdoc. 8.12.13 www.jpsukham.blogspot.com

solve task two higher education new courses

1. Some universities keep on designing newer higher education programmes very frequently dismantling irrelevant old ones while some others go on sprucing up the existing ones to meet the changing demands. • Do you think it is fair to dismantle obsolete disciplines and go for newer ones? • What is it that makes some universities resort to sprucing up existing ones? All the universities need to design new courses according to the needs of the times. So, some resort to designing newer ones while some think it fair to refurbish the existing ones. I think making the old give way to new ones is fine, and there are reasons for some to engage in refurbishing existing courses. There are several justifications bidding adieu to old courses. The thing is they are no more relevant and maintaining them involves a lot of men, money and material. Second thing is that there are not many takers for such programmes, and those who come to absorb it may end up jobless. Thirdly, the money, manpower and infrastructure saved thereof may be channeled to fund the newer ones which in turn will benefit the school, the learners and the society at large. The old must give way. Coming to refurbishing the older courses, it may be said that some universities might find it cost-effective as it does not involve any revamping or reshuffle of the system. For example, the course content may go for a few changes and the people working in the system may not find it difficult adjust with it. The second reason may be that the already existing infrastructure could be carried forward for some more years. It saves a lot in terms resources and funds. And finally they cannot avoid the pressures of what we call, ‘change for better’. In short the need for newer courses is very high today, and it is important to ignore the old and invite the new ones. Refurbishing existing courses may be justified in many ways, but it does not augur well of a new generation higher education establishment. 280 words Ajaypeesdoc. 19.11.13

Culture and common language a task two solved

1. Some say culture exists through a common native language while others say culture is self-standing and it does not necessarily need a common language. • How right are these two views on culture in your opinion? It is a little hard tell apart the relationship between culture and the language of a culture. Anyway, culture is transported through a language, but it is not to say that there must be a common language all the time. To begin with culture as such, it is not that easy to confine this abstract idea into a smaller set of words. However, it is words most of the time that keep culture going and enlivened. For example, people’s contributions to their life are being recorded in a language and the same is carried down to the coming generation. Let me clarify it with an example. In our culture, it is expected that elders are respected and women are revered and children are nurtured with utmost care. This idea is written in holy scripts, referred to too often, spoken by people, and children are taught so. But the thing is that there can be several languages to get this job done. Again in Indian culture, food, whatever it may be, is taken as divine and this is same throughout the country. Let me come to the second idea that culture is self-standing. In a multi-lingual populace same cultural nuances will be transported in several different mediums. Here I must add that there are a certain cultural things that do not need a language at all. Music, dance, some performing arts and fine arts are far more expressed and appreciated than spoken or read out. They just exist. In short, language is very much involved in carrying a culture forward, but there are some cultural elements that do not need any language at all. They can be on their own. Or, they have their own language, I would say. The two views on culture are solid. 290 words Ajaypeesdoc. 18.11.013

An interesting topic for discussion.

If the cure for mortality is found within your lifetime, would you go for it and become immortal?

On the one hand, we're not made for eternal youth. And one could argue that knowing life is short (or just limited) is what makes it worth living. And perhaps death is a major spiritual part of life, whether you believe in a soul or in a metaphorical one.
On the other hand, how is aging yet not another disease? Dying at age 80 is no more a "natural" death than being eaten alive by a bear or killed by malaria. In fact, "old age" is probably the most unnatural cause of death, statistically. So all that's probably just a cultural habit: diseases are evil but aging is good. Another point is that, well, things have changed. Perhaps our new environment makes it suitable for immortal youths.
And of course, becoming immortal only means that you die when YOU chose to die.

So would you go for the injection or not, and how do you rationalize your decision?
