Enjoyable job vs. earn money People have highly different attitudes to what it is considered to be a good job. Some prefer high salary, whilst others give importance to their own joy within the job. Parcially in agreement with both sides, I would say that It is important to struggle for a job that combine both issues in a balanced fashion. Kicking off this debate, I would like to make a reference first to the economic issue. We all know the reason why we have to work, the “dirty and sexy” money. The advantages of a high salary are pretty clear, your economic power increases, so you can spend more. Furthermore, social position is defined by money in the nowadays society. However, if the finalcial situation is good enough to life properly, why consuming life with a job that doesn’t match ourselves or take us consistentely our leisure time? In stark contrast, the other side of the coin is philosophically very easy to agree but heavily difficult to accomplish. The ideal, and often utopian, vacancy should match your personal interests and provide with joy and the possibility to grow as a human being. Last but not the least, a balanced life between job time and leisure time it is considered to be the epitome of a complete existence. However, it could rarely be said that this is an easy issue to accomplish, because the nowadays labor market is claiming for easily mobile and flexible professionals. Vexing though this problem is, we need to try and solve it and maybe humanazing the labor market might be the answer. We just have to look at the scandinavian countries. They hav managed to grow a well structured society where working is only a matter for living and not the opposite.

Should parents be obliged to immunise their children against common childhood diseases? Nowadays a significant part of the parents decide not to vaccinate their children because of the far odds to suffer an adverse effect. Some healthcare providers and politicians are claiming to change the immunization calendar into compulsory. I strongly agree with this opinion, because the vaccines’ benefits for society has been clearly demostrated. Kicking off this controversy, I would say that vaccines have been the simplest medical intervention that has saved more lives in history. For example, the vaccine against polio has nearly erradicated the disease in the majority of the world. Furthermore, smallpox has disapeared due to the widespread use of its vaccine. Immmunizations have, with a sometimes ridiculous costs, an enormous impact on public health. However, adverse effects, as in any other mecical treatment, can be seen. It is proved that the incidence of severe deleterious consequences after vaccination, such a nerological o heart involment, are insignificant compared with the huge protection provided. In stark contrast to this irrefutable fact, it exists parents, I believe with a badly undestood “green-attitude”, that reject to vaccinate their children. From my point of view, they are taking advantage from the high prevalence of immunization among the general population. In other words, as the incidence of transmisible diseases protected by vaccines is very low, the odds of their children to get infected with them is also very low. Concluding, vaccination should be mandatory by law regardless of the parent’s opinion.

A letter 2 Dear ________ I remind you that the meeting would be scheduled for mid-April or the first two weeks/fortnight of May at the latest. If you join us or you intend to go, you should let us know in advance, a week notice would be enough. By the way, I found Marta the other day, I didn’t tell her anything about this. She’s just always getting to my nerves, I can’t help it, I can’t put up with her. I wish she’d early resign, anyway I think she’s going to get her contract terminated as soon as you’ll be named Marketing manager. We should have a look at Ana too, I don’t know what’s going on with her, she’s being left behind. I’d have promoted her some time ago, but the fact is that, unlike you, she can not keep pace. After every maternity-leave, she takes months to catching up. It’s like she has to begin again from scratch. My last hope is that she realizes on time about the extent of the problem for us. She has the right to a happy ending in the company. I know she’ll get over it. I’m also researching Jenny's case. I’m on it since last month, when she told me she needed a pay rise. I told her “Jenny, for the umpteenth time, we’re going through a rough patch. I don’t know whether you are aware that there are only 3 mounths left for Christmas, and we still having many issues to resolve. I can only give you a rise of 2%, the IPC”. So that, for the moment, we leave it like this. There had been enough failures on management policy, but I’m sure we’ll success regardless budget cuts. You know that profitability is my foremost concern. It was difficult to foresee every incidence but the output has improved in accordance with that we predicted for the first quarter. I guess you’ve noticed about the embezzlement case in which Mónica have been involved. There is no use to bring it up now. It’s water under the bridge. But It’s worthy to take all necessary cautions in this regard. Changing the subject, I have my hopes for the new computer system implementation. It’ll make a difference due to our foremost competitors. But, we’ll discuss carefully about this. I have no doubt that in the long term, everything is going to be all right. Well, have you been thinking about what I told you regarding the possibility to join our team?. I’m sure that your profile fits our needs. Decide yourself, I know you’re reliable. Do not fail me. We’ll talk. Regards.

Women and men differences Generally speaking, women and men show mental and physical differences and some people believe that’s the reason why they should be excluded to do certain kind of tasks. I strongly believe that this is only a general issue and both men and women may present particular skills supposedly related to the other sex. Scientifically and sociologically speaking, it is rather clear that men and women are different from eachother. They exhibit a different anatomy and their brains are focused on different areas. For instance, men are better with abstract concepts like maths and maybe music. But, on the contrary, women are better with language, multi-task behaviour and repetitive tasks. However, this is a general, or let me say statistical, approach, obtained by huge population’s analysis. In more detail, it is perfectly possible, and in fact it is statistically sure, that a particular person of one gender may show equal or even higher skills in tasks supposedly related to the other sex. Taking into account the above, I would say that it’s not fair to exclude a particular person from a profession because of general gender differences. Besides, one person’s cappabilities are deeply influenced by many issues, like education, personal interests and the surrounding enviroment, so the person’s sculpture can be crafted by uncontable countless ways. Mutually beneficial to both genders would be to leave this old-fashioned stereotypes and consider people as they are, a human being with his/her unique skills and capabilities. Concluding, I would say that although the human beings present gender differences, this are only statistical data and shouldn’t be used to judge a particular person. Words: 268. Time: 39min.

An imaginary discussion Regarding our phone conversation of the 1st July, I must say that whatever the reason for your decision, It seems to me somewhat out of place. As far as I am concerned, you have only rarely catched me drinking during working time, most of the time only Gin & Tonic, and at most twice in the last two weeks and always by day. It’s true I’ve arrived late every other day, but I’ve never been on a sick-leave and I’ve never enjoyed a long weekend, all this in spite of the fact that, working overtime, has always been a company politic. But now let’s talk about you. When was the last time you give me a lift?. I always have to come back by foot , meanwhile you returned by car, which implied to walk two hours on average each day. And, what about the Christmast’s presents? How about remembering occasionally about your employees? Judging by you, my mistakes were always inexcusable, while yours didn’t. It follows from this that you’re a person that much within the Anglo-Saxon world would call “jerk”, so that’s why nobody can put up with you/tolerate you. With all due respect, I have to tell you that your predecessor was by far my best boss/manager. At least, you could have the courage to recognise your mistakes. As far as I am corcerned I have accomplished all my duties and as far as I know, nobody has complained. At least you’ll agree that’s true. Perhaps you think that I’ll miss you. No way. Perhaps you believe that I regret for something, on the contrary, I assume all responsability. I don’t care if from now on/and beyond, I’ll no longer work here, It doesn’t matter, I know It’ll be for better, and in the long run/long term, you’ll realize I was right. In conclusion and to summarize, above all so that both of us can take the appropriate accions and as agreed, I’d like to know if you intend apologizing and withdraw the charges, otherwise, I shall be forced to take legal acions for bullying. So far/already, I’ll be avaliable for any question and you can find me on telephone 555 55 55 55 from the day after tomorrow. We’ve better resolved this problem as soon as possible. If I don’t address any news from you within today and a week, I'll understand that you aren't interested in a friendly agreement yet, which I shall be open, as long as my rights will be respected. In any case, you’ll be able to contact my lawyers from the 1st July. Regards.
