Preface
Students in group one of 12C prepared this
assignment.The definition of work, factors affecting
job satisfaction, and the significance of work for individual gain and national develo
pment
are all covered in this assignment's first lesson. Lesson two covers sexism, ethical
standards at work place,
and leisure. The third lesson discusses civilization, globalization, and encouraging fo
reign direct investment.
We used a variety of sources in this project that were pertinent to our topics, and w
e hope you can learn something from it.
Lesson 1
Work as Human Necessities
Work is the application of physical prowess and cognitive abilities to produce goods or render
services.To maintain their lives, people engage in both mental and physical activity. Every m
ature and physically capable person has a duty to carry out specific obligations (works). The
environment in which individuals live has a significant impact on certain types of labor. The
likelihood of achieving more financial success is higher for those who work longer hours.
The regulations that govern commercial activity contain a significant amount of society's ov
erall sense of good and wrongThe minimum ethical standards for running your business ar
e to keep your professional activities within the law.
For the benefit of its members, numerous professional organisations establish comprehen
sive ethical rules.
Such statements of ethical principles or codes of conduct are present in almost all significa
nt corporations.
General ethical standards that are true for any work are:
Smoking are not allowed
Getting to the office on time
Avoiding corruption and
Respecting each other
Society's ethical norms are not static. Behaviors and activities once considered
acceptable might become unacceptable in time.
When in doubt, the Golden Rule, which is the cornerstone of ethical conduct, is a great appr
oach to distinguish between good and wrong actions: treat others as you would like to be tr
eated.
Some professions have their own ethical standards that must be followed
strictly for the proper functioning of their jobs.
Sexism
Sexism is the word that describes discrimination based on sex.Sexism in the work
place can occur in many ways that must be addressed to create a fair, professional
environment for millions of women.
Sexism can take many different forms, some of which are given below.
1. Limit participation based on gender
Being involved is not always simple, especially if you are minority.
Some women may experience this in workplaces where the majority of their cowork
ers are men. They can feel ignored, imagine they won't be taken into consideration,
or believe their ideas are worthless and not worth the effort to put them.
Leisure
Nonetheless, there is broad agreement that there are three main ways to think about leisur
e: leisure as time, leisure as an activity, and leisure as a state of mind.
Leisure as a time
According to this definition, leisure is time spent without commitments, paid or unpaid
employment, and duties necessary for existing(sleeping, eating). Remaining time is
for leisure. Some contendthat it is a productive use of downtime. However, only a small por
tion of time spent away from work is actually free from other obligations that are essential
for survival, like sleeping and eating. While many people may view free time as all nonworki
ng hours, this is not the case.
Leisure as Activity
Leisure activities include everything people do in their free time that is not related to emplo
yment or involves no life sustaining activities like sleeping or housecleaning.
Reading for enjoyment, practicing meditation, creating art, and engaging in sports are just a
few examples of leisure activities that we engage in for a variety of reasons, such as relaxati
on, competitiveness, or personal development.
Leisure as state of mind
The definition of leisure as a state of mind is far more subjective because it takes into acco
unt the individual's experience of an activity, in contrast to the definitions of leisure as time
or activity. When deciding whether an experience qualifies as leisure or not, factors includin
g perceived freedom, intrinsic motivation, perceived competence, and good affect are cruci
al. An individual’s perceived freedom is their capacity to select the experience or activity
they wish to engage in while remaining free from other obligations and acting
independently of others.
A component of perceived freedom is the absence of external barriers to involvement.
Intrinsic motivation, the second prerequisite for leisure as a state of mind, denotes that the
person is motivated to participate from within.The event produces a personal sense of
happiness, delight, and gratification for the person without being influenced by outside
circumstances( such as other people or a reward).
To define leisure as a state of mind, perceived competence is also essential.
The term "perceived competence" refers to people's perceptions of their own skill levels an
d how well they match the level of difficulty of an activity. The relationship between perceiv
ed competence and satisfaction is significant, and for participation to be effective, the skill-
to challenge ration needs to be suitable.
Lesson 3
Work in an international
Perspective
Civilization
A society or community that is based on culture and knowledge is said to be civilized.
A nation or state must update its culture and knowledge through education in order to bec
ome more civilized. We may advance our civilization by working hard and using this knowle
dge as a foundation.
Globalization
The term "globalization" refers to the rising interdependence of the economies, cultures,an
d inhabitants of the world as a result of crossborder trade in products and services, technol
ogy, and flows of capital, people, and information.
Positive impacts of globalization
Global market
This is one of globalization's positive benefits.It entails encouraging countries to
specialize and generate an abundance of commodities for their domestic
market. market.
Cross cultural management
Every nation has its own unique culture. The way certain group of people behave
as well as their values and beliefs are all related to their culture. It
is difficult to combine all cultures into one global one. Before globalization, many
countries would not allow females to acquire education, and even if they did, they
were supposed to do jobs such as teaching or nursing.
Reducing the gap between the rich and the poor
The wealth gap has significantly narrowed as a result of globalization.
There has been a significant separation between these tribes for many centuries,
a distance that seemed to grow wider every year. Poor people now have access t
o job opportunities thanks to globalization.
Competition
It's beneficial for businesses to compete. Without it, businesses would not introd
uce certain firsts in international trade. It is the primary cause of both price
reduction and improvements in the caliber of goods and services
Industries in certain industrialized nations were influence by competition to find
lowcost labor and raw materials to lower prices.
Investments
People in industrialized nations like investing their money in successful firms ove
r keeping it in banks. They work hard to make a living online since investments e
nsure they will make money without putting in much effort.
Advanced technology
Globalization has led to the development of advanced technology.
Dueto slow public communication and data transport, advancements were const
antly needed. Several inventors have made an effort to advance technology in or
der to meet the needs of contemporary civilization.
Legal effects
People may now learn about what is happening in other nations thanks to
globalization. Even that take place
in foreign nations are covered by media outlets. As a result, international mediat
ors may be able to settle numerous conflicts. Intergovernmental tribunals appre
hend and punish those who violate human rights.
