VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Many childhood diseases can now be prevented through the use of vaccines.

Should parents be made by law to immunise their children against common diseases or should individuals have the right to choose not to immunise their children?

You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

You should write at least 250 words.

Some people think that job satisfaction is more important than job security while some people think that they cannot always expect job satisfaction, a permanent job is more important.

Discuss both views and give your opinion. Give reasons and relevant examples for your answer.

When it comes to job hunting, some people argue that self-achievement brought by a job is more crucial than its stability, but others contend that having a stable job may be of more importance than acquiring joy from it.

On one hand, satisfaction from work cannot be neglected. For people who have been working for decades ,it is critical for them to maintain their energy to focus on what they are doing and they will do. As they ought to have some wealth through years of struggling, salary is not a matter. Accordingly, mental incentive may be a better motivation for them. Especially for some successful elites, their target may not be earning more money, but exerting themselves to build a better world, such as what Steve Jobs has done with his Apple products. The feeling of making breakthrough is the driving force that makes many successful men still advance their careers.

On the other hand, stability is also a significant factor for many employees. It is common that some companies with small sizes go bankrupt suddenly and their employees become unemployed at the moment. That is why many graduates intend to choose some stable work, such as government officials, since they do not have the chance to meet the fierce market competition and could have their salary fixedly. Thus, finding a permanent job could guarantee that individuals have a stable salary at least.

From my own perspective, whether people choose a job with stability or a job bringing satisfaction mostly depends on the personality they have. If people were ambitious, a job with uncertainties and challenges would be a preference because they could get joy from what they fight for in order to fulfill themselves. However, for people who want to live a quiet life, a stable job may suit them better.

On one hand, satisfaction from work cannot be neglected. For people who have been working for decades ,it is critical for them to maintain their energy to focus on what they are doing and will do. As they ought to have some financial wealth through years of struggling, salary doesn’t particularly matter. Accordingly, mental incentive may be a better motivation for them. Especially for some successful elites, their target may not be earning a particularly large amount of money, but exerting themselves to build a better world, such as what Steve Jobs did with his Apple products. The feeling of making a breakthrough is the driving force that makes many successful men continue to advance their careers.
