What We Should Know As Workers

My Thoughts....


“with the rise of civilizations, rights at work began to take on some significance”

Technology!

Technology has advanced over the years and has also expanded many ways of communicating and receiving information to one another. The use of technology has a huge impact on learning because it shows what a text book cant. For example textbooks can last for years which mean the information in it has been outdated and can be expensive to replace or order new ones every school year. Another example is students can collect data about multiple subjects at once, collect information about environmental and populations issues, watching educational videos to help them better their understanding through the internet. So in other words technology has a great impact in the way I learn because it shows me what textbooks cannot and can also break down and explain things I don’t understand. Technology also has a way of getting me to think about what I need to search in order to find the right information which helps the brain process in class by sorting the information needed in class that can help me answer questions later. The internet also helps with sharing information with others so this way you can ask questions and get answers faster and through some one that might know a lot about the information needed. Or the ideas on the web can be taken into class through electronic devices like most apple products, laptops, and phones, etc. so technology can be an amazing platform for education.




Its Important to me....

I choose this topic because it is something so openly talked about yet nothing really gets done. People always complain about how much they get paid for a part time or full time job. When we should be looking at how much we get paid for only eight hours of work a day. Whereas others get paid less than us and work for longer hours in a day without going for half an hour breaks in between in some cases. I choose this topic because I felt that it was necessary to discuss what the root causes are to workers being treated baldy and how much abuse they go through and what are some possible solutions. There are kids being treated like adults and work for more than 18 hours a week with harsh working conditions. Some people have no choice but  to work because it is the only income coming in and others work because it’s been passed down from generation to generation. We believe that workers’ are abused of their rights in recent times when really it has been around since mankind. so why has there been more news about it?
