Sample 1]: Essay on Unemployment: Pros and Cons (247 words)
Unemployment
means not having a job or being without a job. In other words, when a person
has nothing to do to make a living, it is called "unemployment," and
the jobless person is called "unemployed."
Many of us
are much more frightened of being unemployed than we need to be. When we are
unemployed, we can be our own boss or master. There is nobody to order or
direct us what to do or when to do it. There are many advantages to being
unemployed. They are: (i) We can get up any time we want; (ii) We don't have to
be stuck in traffic jams during rush hours; (iii) There is always a holiday for
us and we can go wherever we like; (iv) We have much time to do different
activities like reading or watching TV; (v) We don't have to mix up with
unwanted people; and (vi) the most interesting thing is that nobody comes to us
to borrow money.
On the other
hand, whatever is said above, we need money to keep our body and soul together.
To earn money, we must be employed. Moreover, a jobless person suffers from
inferiority. Like in the saying, "An empty mind, devil dwells," a
jobless person has a chance to get engaged in anti-social activities like crime
or drug addiction. The person has to spend a lot of time reading advertisements
to look for a job. Above all, an unemployed person is looked down on in
society, too.
In
conclusion, it is the state that must provide jobs to its people. If it's not
possible, unemployment benefits, compensation, or allowance should be provided
to each unemployed person so that s/he can feel comfortable developing further
skills.
