Tyrania is a small Kingdom set in medeval times. The Kingdom is ran by a monarchy that very much involves itself in the affairs of the general public. Tyrania is known throughout the lands for it 's incredible levels of happiness and harmony and its extreemly low crime rate. All citizens of Tyrania are educated up until they are 18 years of age. On their 18th birthday, all citizens are required to take a formal test to evaluate their personalities and skills. From these tests, their future path are determined and assigned to them. People who follow the results of these tests are given monitary bonuses and are helped as much as possible by the monarchy. It is possible for an individual to decide they would prefer a different path in life. Someone doing this however, will find they are firstly provided no support towards their aims, they lose out on varoius benefits that were prevoiusly accessable to them and perhaps worst of all, they are looked down upon by the rest of society. An indivdual who follows the path set out for them is given a small badge to wear upon their person. These badges are hand-crafted specifically for the wearer and are therefore completely unique. The metals and procedure in creating these badges are so difficult to replicate that it is very difficult for forgeries to be made. Badges are what allow people to access benefits in order to achieve their path. Every person born in Tyrania has their own book dedicated to them. These books are stored
Have you ever been in a position where you where stuck and couldn’t decide between two careers? Whether it was something that you love to do or something that pays well? The answer may seem easy to you but when you start comparing the facts; that’s when it gets hard to choose. For many of us, graduates and people around the world have a difficult time choosing a career that can be a confusing process. A lot of people tend to settle down on a career quickly. Unfortunately, choosing a rapid occupation often leads to an unsatisfying path in the future, if not sooner. Eventually the individual decides to quit and start all over again. According to choosingacareer.net, “6% of
Knowing exactly what you want to do in life can be a bit challenging and pressuring. A lot of people have different interest and passions for things but can’t find a career that have all those in one. The hard part really is thinking that you just have to be in one field. Some people might start to do something, be really good at it then get bored find something new then repeat the cycle not knowing exactly what they want to do in life. Many people are afraid just to do one thing. In high school I thought I wanted to go to the military after but soon that quickly changed, so I decided to go to school. Lots of people face the fear of not doing what they will enjoy and just settling.
“Men will then be seen continually to change their track for fear of missing the shortest cut to happiness.” (Tocqueville, Alexis). By not continuing the education track for a career and grasping wildly for an easier track will bring you further and further away from the goal wanted. The dream is like a destination. Would you take a straight path or would you take all the roads leading there? One must have the appropriate education to achieve in the career wanted.
More often than not, young students are taught to believe that they must go to a prestigious university to obtain a Bachelor’s degree or higher in order to have a fulfilling and satisfying career. This may hold true for some people, but others do not need to follow this same path. For students who choose a career that isn’t considered conventional or isn’t high in pay, they tend to be looked down upon which pressures them into choosing career paths that they do not have a passion for, or the skill set to actually accomplish which makes college a waste of time and money. While everyone should be encouraged to get an education beyond high school, people should be encouraged to get the education that is relevant and proper for them to make sure they are getting their money’s worth.
A form of government very similar to monarchy, Tyrannies usually grew out of oligarchies. The word tyranny comes from the Greek word tyrannos (usurper with supreme power). Many states, particularly in the 6th century BC, were ruled by a tyrant. It first appeared in Argos or Corinth, then Sicyon, Megara, Mytilene and Miletus. However, A tyrant usually doesn't pass power to his son, and despite common stereotypes, not all tyrants were bad leaders. Oligarchy An oligarchy is a form of government in which the ruling power is in the hands of a few leaders. The word oligarchy comes from the Greek terms oligos (few) and arkhein (rule). These "few" are rich, powerful or both, and are usually nobles, aristocrats, military groups or any distinguished group that rules tyrannically with their own interests at heart. Thus it did not benefit the mass population. It is highly championed by the Spartan government. In Sparta the Spartan who rose through the ranks and eventually serve as Ephor and Gerousia or is a direct descendant of the royal family Agiads and the Eurypontids get together to
Does the walker choose the path or the path the walker? Believe it or not, sometimes it’s the latter. People often ask me why I chose public service and working for the State Department and I often tell them it kind of just happened. Growing up I had a completely different career path mapped out for me. I want to work in early childhood education and had passion in developing the next generation. After finishing high school, I took classes and researched opening my own daycare. At age 19, I had a successful licensed daycare with one employee and eight students. This was the path I chose and excelled in it and I thought that this career was what I was meant to do.
Thank you for having us read the tragedy of Willy Loman, The Death of a Salesman. You can work hard at anything, but if you are not passionate about it, you will get nowhere. It reminds me of one of my brothers that didn't realize he was chasing the wrong dream until it was too late. At school he was pursing different subjects, but at home he was passionate about music and rapping. Since he was an exceptional artist, he decided to go to an art school. Soon he realized it wasn't for him and dropped out, and now he has to start over. We must realize now while we still have the time and resources what we want from life and what we are passionate about. If we don't ask ourselves these questions now, we may not have later to consider them.
This is because people find something that they’re interested in and down the road they find out that they really hate that particular thing. For example when i was starting high school I wanted to be a physical therapist, or something in the medical field. Then I started to research what i had to do to be in that position. I found out that you needed lots of schooling for a very long time and pay lots of money for it. For this reason I threw the medical field idea out the door. At this point I was a sophomore, and I had no idea what i wanted to do, I started to get worried. When I got home I asked my parents what would be a good field to go into. Both of them said the trades were very good to go into because you don't need college, you could start working straight out of school, or even in school. Next thing I know I apply to go to school at polaris to learn about HVAC (heating ventilation air conditioning) This shows that you really can do what you want and be happy, just because you think you really like something doesn’t mean that you can’t find something else to do and be happy with it. There is tens of thousands of paths you can take its pretty amazing that the American people have all of these different opportunities to live differently in this
However, some, such as Gerald Graff, argue that colleges and schools are missing opportunities when nonacademic interests of the students are not taken into the classroom. For example, he claims that his schooling was unable to foster his interest in sports or other “nonacademic” interests. However, I would claim that this is false considering there are majors that can foster one’s interest in sports such as sports journalism, sports broadcasting, and exercise science. In fact, I would argue that college allows one to follow their dreams. For example, I met a counselor who was originally was a plumber for thirty years of his life. When I asked why he changed careers he responded with, “I had full support from my family to go back to school, and ultimately I wanted to do something more fulfilling with my life. And now I am doing what I have always liked to do that is talking to people” To make this change he had to first earn his bachelor’s degree and then his masters thus accumulating debt. In addition, he had to take wage cut of 50,000 dollars a year. Despite this he had absolutely no regrets with the decision he made.
Choosing a career is an important decision a person has to make in life. Almost everyone wants to be a millionaire or have a highly paid job. I believe the interest and
Comparable to our system of choosing careers and colleges, in Bellamy’s world of 2000, the “principle of alternative choices as to occupation is quite important” (pg. 46). Additionally, in West’s time, people chose their professions at a young age, so many were faulty in their decisions. This sounds rather familiar, as our society pressures young people to have their future occupations chosen before entering college.
Stories such as the Lay of Igor’s Raid are also indicative of Rus’ sense of unification for reasons similar to those described in the reign of Prince Yaroslav the Wise. A gallant tale of the Novgorodian Prince Igor Svyatoslavich, this follows the long term struggle between the Russians led by Igor and the nomadic Kumans. Although the story does not explicitly display excerpts regarding the degree of unification within Rus’, the writers more implicitly hint at the sense of unity. For example, Igor is the Prince of Novgorod, leading a
My experience, aforementioned, has been the foundation of my beliefs. I've seen several of my friends take up careers they did not desire because they were pressured into believing that those careers were the best for them, that these careers would provide better financial security. They compromised their aesthetic goals for merely commercial ones. The majority were unable to question society when it mattered most. I, however, was able to deduce myself where my goals laid- they lay in the exploration of celestial bodies, in the deduction of laws that govern this universe; my heart belonged to Commerce. I’m glad that I have been able to stand by decisions that suited me rather than everybody else. I have also committed myself for the pursuit of an undergraduate degree outside of this society, and this incident will serve as a reminder that I have an obligation to return home and transform this society of
If you we are tired of being at that same died end job make that change and go back to school to get that additional education to pursue your dream that you have. Working a job and having a career are two different things. After spend some years in the work force I decided to further my education. I wanted a career that I can advance in and learn more.
Parents push their children to have more academic jobs and majors to improve their child's “status.” But when a student with high academic achievement chooses to have a vocational style job it is seen as unfortunate or even a waste of genius and intellect. Students should have the opportunity to be trained in whatever careers they want, even if it is a more vocational job like a trade instead of an academic job. If these students find these vocational jobs more meaningful than any academic job they should have the right to choose them because of their pursuit of happiness.
