2 The criteria for satisfaction and how educational institutions can fulfill them
2.3 Activity I believe that one should never be left without anything to do. Thoughts can spin wild when you have nothing to do, no task, no will, and it can make you do crazy things, things that you would not do if you had thought about it while you were satisfied in your life. Unemployment is a big problem all over the world, not only because it leaves people poor but also because it leaves many at home, without a mission to fulfill, without a purpose. With little money to join leisure time activities that they might like (choirs are usually free, but for example sports club or hobby societies usually take a monthly member fee), they will end up staying at home, maybe drinking away the pain, the boredom, the fact that they are dependent on friends or governmental support, thus creating additional problems for the community. Therefore, I think that being an active part of society is essential for being satisfied. Even though unemployed, people must not only be given the chance to, but need to be obliged to perform some work. In an ideal situation after the educational system discussed in the present paper has been run for some time, there should not be any unemployment at all. However, in a transitional state and due to the fact that this scenario is a frail balance that will over- and undershoot from time to time, the government must provide jobs for everyone, even if only a few hours per day or a few days per week. Work sure needs to be done everywhere, it is easy to find jobs even though they are in the lower wage class. Many countries provide a subsidy for unemployed people. This subsidy should not be given without work being performed in return. Firstly it will officially decrease unemployment (the unemployed are simply not entitled to governmental subsidy anymore but rather are guaranteed a governmental job) which will make the nation more confident; secondly the labour force will not feel that they have to work for people who do not contribute themselves and thus the objects of hatred and prejudice will become less in number; thirdly this will increase the living standard of the nation/region/community since more work will get done or more services will be provided. Such jobs or services can include the guarding of computer rooms in schools or other facilities (thus increasing opening hours or accessibility), the cleaning of not only celeber places in the city centres but rather neighbourhoods that otherwise are not taken care of, providing help and advice for certain things within the community (hotlines often have long cues and communal workers loose effective working time while explaining rules and regulations to individuals), providing extra guards in areas with high crime rates, and many more. One must, of course, acknowledge that some of these jobs usually require a qualification of some kind which cannot be ensured when providing jobs to anyone who is unemployed, yet it will be better than nothing for those who need the services and it will give the otherwise unemployed a task to fulfill and a chance to learn something new and gain experience; when applying for a better job, they will not have a gap in their merits. For more examples and comments on this please refer to chapter xxxx Education institutes can help the public to understand the importance of everyone capable being involved in the labour force and they will provide smart minds that can find the best solutions for providing jobs for everyone and finding resources to pay the salaries. 2.1 Health 2.2 Living standard 2.4 Knowledge 2.5 Attitude |
