Title: nowadays an increasing number of people change their jobs or places of residence several times during their life, is it a positive or negative development?
Essay: Compare to the recent past there is an ever increasing mobility in this new era of globalization. In today’s’ society , there are still a number of “old-fashioned” people, to them the idea of changing is not an appealing one, However more and more people seize the opportunity to change between jobs and residential places during their lives. From a personal view, often the choice they made has positive effects on both career and personal growth for themselves. However others raise the concern of too often and too much “hopping” may exerts negative effects on both individual and society level.
First of all, It is undeniable for individuals who seek out opportunities global wide will expand one’s perspective along with personal competence. By simple expose oneself to a different set of cultural norms, one will learn to understand and appreciate others from different cultural in their perspective setting. It is also seems a positive development for career advancement in a way that one work diligently in ones’ field of expertise and seek out opportunities accordingly. By changing jobs and residential places, youngsters can use this mobility in the work place as a tool to sharpen their working skill with expanded career perspective. By gaining experiences in different positions in a corporate, one can dive deep in the chain of operation and move up the “corporate ladder”. For me changing jobs and residential place accords to ones’ career and personal goal have positive influences on global perspective with individual career expertise. For our society, it would also be beneficial from individuals’ willingness to change, with open minded youngsters, their devotion to jobs and developed global awareness, a realm of healthy competitive yet cooperating environment is likely to be formed with breeds of innovation within today’s’ global village.
Often changes seems promising, however too much and too often “hopping” among jobs will counter the positive effects changes itself inherited. We have always witness people referred as job hoppers are on a constant job change. The inability to holds on a job is fatal to career advancement, the inclination to run to next job with failing to perform on the previous ones will put caps on ones’ career advancement. Also too often we see people change their jobs and residential place in appeal to mere novelty. Both in advertence and inability to holds on will results a bunch of clueless hoppers society doesn't need. Youngsters flowed with over-mobility with little competence constitute a society filled with” hoppers” and “quitter” upon which real changes are unlikely to be formed.
To sum up, one need to carefully evaluate the driven force behind changes before running to the conclusion whether it has a positive or negative development on individual and societies. For individuals who run away from life challenges it will have negative consequences on personal growth and never a good sign to society as a whole as well. Changes are only welcomed for individual who seek personal growth with perseverance and willingness to experience. I advice people to seek guidance among themselves with depicted goal bear in mind and when it’s time to make changes always remember to bring along the personal compass. The responsibility in change lies in everyone’s hand. Societies which by definition are the constitution of human beings along with choices they made about their lives. Thus societies as a whole should also take the initiatives in cultivating an atmosphere of health changes among its fellow citizens.
