My View on Laying off
There has sprung up a heated discussion as to whether or not laying-off does society good. Many people take it for granted that it is harmful to society that a swelling number of people laid of will give rise to the increasing number of crimes because they are eager for money and even some will commit suicide thinking it is the end of the world.
However, every coin has two sides. Indeed, laying-off brings us some disadvantages, but it cannot be said that it brings no advantages. For example, when a company lays off a number of people, it means that the company will get more profits than ever. As another instance, if a person laid off wants to get a new job, he ought to learn some kinds of skills for future use. This action will pave the way for success in another line for the laid-off worker. Last but not least, the fact of laying-off may create some types of work which didn’t exist previously but which society needs.
Thus, the conclusion is self-evident. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If you have been laid off and are looking for a new job, don’t worry. Try the work you have never done. As the saying goes, “Something attempted, something done.”
My View on Laying off in China
People’s opinions on the problem of unemployment of China wary from person to person. Some people hold that there should not be the phenomenon of unemployment in a socialist country. They hold this idea because they think unemployment is harmful to the labor’s benefit, which has always been regarded as a symbol of a socialist country. However, others think that the existence of unemployment is normal. In their opinion, unemployment is not the problem related with social system but with economic system.
As to me, I argue for the latter opinion. There are many reasons I can list but the following may be most important.
First of all, at present, China is on the elementary stage of socialism and its economy is still backward. Besides, China has a large population. Our country cannot offer so many job opportunities to so many people. Last but not least, many people are not fit for the job any longer.
In a word, the problem of unemployment does exist. It is inevitable. What matters is not whether the problem exists but how we should face the problem and solve it.
