It is suggested that all the young adults should undertake a period of unpaid work helping people in the community. Does it bring more benefits or drawbacks to the community and the young people

Some of the most debated issues of the society have been the extended to which unsalaried

work

will be beneficial or detrimental to the community and the youth. It is recommended by some people that the youth should serve a certain number of years as a charity to help vivid communities. I shall discuss both the positive and the negative attributes of

this

view. There are some drawbacks of doing free service to associations.

First

of all, if adults take a break in their career or in studies it will be difficult for them to find employment after a gap.

That is

to say, companies may not consider it as a valuable experience and not offer them jobs as per their talent

.

Accept space

.

For instance

,

Accept space

,

a recent survey by Harvard university suggest that 37% men had to compromise of their

work

profile when they resumed working post taking a valid break.

Moreover

, people staying at shelter homes may develop an emotional bonding with the younger generation as they would spend a long time together.

In other words

, it would be extremely difficult for them to detach themselves and they may feel sick

.

Accept space

.

To illustrate, the Old Age homes in Mumbai, restrict the number of days for volunteers to spend as they fear veterans getting attached to them which later affects their health.

Thus

, spending quality time may result in, loss of

work

and develop strong attachments with people.)

Nevertheless

, despite the above repercussions it has several benefits.

To begin

with, assisting people in community

centers

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

centres

centre

will be advantageous to students who want to pursue higher education in prestigious universities. These colleges look for students who are sensitive to the world and consider

this

in the admission process. To exemplify, students seeking admission in Oxford business school have an upper hand if they have volunteered for assisting people.

Furthermore

, if adults dedicate some time to the children at the orphanage they would feel accepted by the society.

This

is to say, people can educate them, share their experiences and help them to become responsible citizens in the future. As an illustration, Times of India, has taken an initiative under the campaign “Teach India” where people can volunteer to teach underprivileged children for a few hours every day. To recapitulate, earning good grades for admission and helping the underprivileged children by taking some years off

work

clearly outweighs any disadvantages.
