Question

Speech On Importance Of Different Occupations

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) They Satisfy the Material Needs of Man:

Work and Occupations are a fundamental necessity in life. Society depends upon the production of food, machine, various utensils and ar­ticles of daily use, newsprint, etc. The very existence of man depends upon the production of neces­sities of life. Work and Occupations are the means of producing them.(ii) They Satisfy Man’s Social and Psychological Needs Also:

Work is not the same thing as physical effort or the expenditure of energy. What is and what is not work is socially defined. It is not a quality inherent in any particular act. It is true that without the achievement of certain level of production, society could not survive.

However, there are also the leisure classes, the non-working people. In reality, even the leisure classes do some kind of work. Those who are able to live without work normally do work, because, work gives them a valued status, in society in other people’s eyes, and therefore, in their eyes.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

 

Work and occupations meet certain obligations, to be seen as significant people, and to feel significant to them. Much work, however, is far removed from food production or even from direct production of commodities at all.

“With the growth of service indus­tries in the modern economy, fewer and fewer people work at producing material objects and more and more work at manipulating paper and people”— Peter Worsley. Thus, people work more today to satisfy social and psychological needs.

(iii) People Work Not Just for Money:

It is wrong to assume that man always works or is in some occupation or the other, just for money. It is true that in a subsistence economy money, or its equivalent economic reward is of paramount importance-life in fact, depends on it.
