The Lack of Necessary Skill for the Modern Workplace

       In this technology exploration era, lack of necessary skills for the modern workplace is a big problem for a fresh worker, Why are there graduated students cannot or unable to manage the skills in the modern workplace? For example, half of the freshman don't even know how to use a fax machine or photocopy machine which is a "must" to learn skill when they enter the career field. So, the solution that I want to suggest may has the probability to overcome it. Educational institute can create a related course or include the necessary skills into the syllabus of class. For instances, the skills to use the office machines, to manage the Microsoft office like Microsoft Word,Excel and Publisher to do the work in a more efficient and effective way. This suggestion seems to be applicable for the education condition nowadays and it may help a lot for the future employee in doing their works in a modern workplace.

Compare and contrast libraries and the Internet as the two major sources of information for use in academic written work.

         
             We need to do academic written work since we are primary students even until we are having tertiary education in university. As we know, academic written work is a "must" in our educational system. In this interact, communicate and technology era, the internet is probably one of the greatest inventions in the century. But the presence of conventional libraries will still be one of the choices for students to get their knowledge, information and ideas in their academic written work. So, let us proceed to compare and contrast the effectiveness of libraries and the internet in doing academic written work.
 
            Before the invention of internet, researchers need to stay at library for whole day to complete parts of their journal or research. From here, we can know that we need to spend a lot of time in order to get information from library. Libraries normally are large and neat, we need to run from floor to floor and rack to rack to get the books that we need. After found the books, we need to sit down and read through the books page by page to understand and gain the information that we want. Libraries as a source to get information is time consuming. However, when we are using internet to get information, it is speedy and accessible immediately. We just need to "click" and use the powerful search engine then we can get the information from A to Z immediately. By type the keyword, we can immediate access to a considerable amount of information with reference to a particular topic. Use the internet as source of information is time saving yet multiple access.

           Apart from that, the flexibility of time in gaining information is also one of the comparison between internet and libraries. As what we know, libraries usually have limited time and it own operation time to use and visit. We need to walk or drive to libraries to get the information needed. We need to plan and think wisely before we move otherwise our time will be wasted. So, the time for use libraries is not flexible. However,the internet offers the flexibility in term of time. We can complete our work,assignments or information getting in anytime and anywhere we want. This is because internet is available 24 hours a day instead of libraries that open only for operation time. We can surf internet without time limit and geographic boundaries in order to get information.

           The reliability for the source of information for both the internet and library are different. When we are doing assignments or researches, lecturers will ask for the scholar articles or journals that has reliable sources to prove our statements. The information in libraries are normally primary sources which did not edited or changed by others. For instances, original diaries, newspaper, maps and journals. The resources in libraries have all been individually selected by a trained professional, to fit specifically to the school's educational programs. So, the resources from libraries is reliable and valuable. Although internet has great diversity of information, but the resource of internet is uncertain. The potential for encountering incorrect statistics and other false information is high. For example, Wikipedia, one of the popular websites to gain information, the articles on it can be edited or rewrite easily. Therefore, we need to be more careful when we search the information from internet and check for the reliability of the information that we get.

           In a nutshell, internet and libraries as the two major sources of information for use in academic work have its own advantages and disadvantages. Internet is easy to share and get information while libraries has reliable resources. Understanding in strengths and shortcoming for both of them is really important to conduct an academic written work. As a student, we need to use the internet and libraries wisely instead of use them without planning. Otherwise we need to do a double work to get our fruit of hard work.

  

 

10 Problems that Young Generations are Facing in the Globalisation Era

        Who is young generation? Young generation are the people whose age between 13 years old to 25 years old which will be the future leaders for their own countries. Young generation should lead a happy yet lack of trouble life in their age now. BUT, there is a "but", "happy yet troubleless life" is just an illusion because there are a lot of problems facing by the young generation in this globalization era. Here are 10 problems that had been discussed and faced by young generation like me.

1. Life without internet
Can you imagine your life without wi-fi in house,without data for your smart phone or cannot update your status on Facebook when you are going out with friends or family? It is hard to imagine for the young generation nowadays. Internet is very useful and powerful. Young generation can search the information from A to Z by click the mouse or simply "google". For this technology advance era, some of the university lecturers will use online teaching instead of physical class. So, life without internet really will make young generation feel suffer and interrupt their daily life.

2. Accidentally met ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend
It is very awkward to meet their ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend accidentally for young generation. For example, if they study at the same school or campus, have the same course and same subject after they break up in a bad way, is it very awkward for them? So, the solution that I want to suggest is please bear with it, be more open-minded and choose the time that will not meet her/him to campus. The last suggestion is please change your course or campus that will never ever same with them!

3. Friendship problems

Friends issue is the issue that cannot be ignored and very emphasised by youngsters. Friends can be everything in their life when they are still young. Youngsters will tell everything or listen to the advices of their friends in solving something whether it is correct or wrong. So, if there is a trouble occurring within new generation’s friendship, it can be a big problem for them. For example, the neglect and forget from a friend will hurt the feeling of a youngster instead of simply anger and disappointed. So, new generation need to choose friends wisely, be more open-minded and patient when solving friendship problems.

4. Socialization problem

Nowadays, a lot of new generations prefer to stay indoors and has few social contacts with people. They seldom interact and communicate with people but like to do some online activity such as online video games, online chatting and online shopping. Therefore, new generation normally will lack of interpersonal communicative skills which is very important for them in their future career. “First” me individualism is also one of the reasons that cause the socialization problem within new generation. So, new generation need to move outdoor and interact more with people, socializing and improve their interpersonal skill for their own good.

5. Easy to be "tempted"
 There are a lot of temptations surrounding the new generation. For examples, drug addiction, smoking,drinking, sexual relationship and luxury shopping. Drug addiction and smoking had became a serious issue in new generation that is worried by the public. New generation who will become out future leader had been brainwashed by some movies or advertisement that smoking is a cool action which can relieve their tension in life. Some of them easy to be allured by the luxury accessories like LV purse, Chanel dress or Burberry handbag which are very costly for them who is jobless. Therefore, new generation need to be educated by a correct attitude and mindset to resist overwhelm temptations.

6. Lack of knowledge for the things that happened all over the world
New generation lose the information and knowledge that had happened around the world. You can try to ask the youngsters now around that who will read the newspaper even when their home bought newspaper monthly. The answer will make you shocked because most of them are not reading it to gain the information. Even when they are reading, they only concern about entertainment and sports instead of social problems. So, parents should encourage their children to spend a little time to read newspaper or e-news for getting some latest information since they are young.

7. Appearance troubles
"Am I fat?", "My pimples!"...These are some examples of the words that new generation often say it in daily life. New generation very concerned about their appearance either their body shape or skin condition. They will buy cosmetic products and slim down medicine to maintain their body in a perfect condition. Because they are lack of confident so they will find for a perfect look although they need to spend  lot of money. 

8. Do well in academic result
 New generation nowadays need to keep their grade up in order to get what they want in life. For example, parents will give great offer to their kids if they get excellent result like buy what the kids want and bring them go to the place they like it. However, not every single new generation is capable to get straight As in all examinations. So,doing well in academic examinations is also one of the problems that faced by new generation nowadays.

9. a sense of hopelessness : where am I going?
When new generation come to a corner to choose their course or life after they graduate from secondary school or university, they will feel hopeless and wonder where should they go. This is very normal among new generation. They will confuse and blur for what they want to choose for their future. Therefore, new generation ought to think about what should they do and do not do before they graduate besides planning for their coming future.

10. unhealthy lifestyle
New generation lead an unhealthy lifestyle by wake up early in the morning but sleep very late at night. They are picky in eating by not have vegetable and fruit but like to have fast food and fried food for their meals. Although they knew it is harmful but they just cannot control themselves to do it. So, we need to have a healthy life habit since we are young to prevent the illness for the coming year.
