Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example; working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to young children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many say that teaching communal
work
must be made mandatory during the secondary education level. I completely agree with
this
argument as I believe, charity is a trait
that is
usually not taught at a young age by our guardians and
secondly
,
this
would enable students to find employment much easily. Parents always tend to provide us absolutely the best lifestyle that they can afford
therefore
, sometimes children fail to see the other side human life.
In other words
, parents give all the necessities plus everything that their young would want
for example
; best education, shoes, computers and vehicles for transportation. When a teenager gets comfortable and get used to a luxury lifestyle, they will not see the other side of the same coin which is, hardness and difficulties of human life.
Therefore
, by integrating charity
work
into the school education system and making it mandatory would enable the children not only, to access a much softer part of within themselves that they were not aware of but
also
, empathize on others and learn to give back to mankind with expecting nothing in return. Humanitarian missions can enable teenagers to secure their
first
job
.
In other words
, it is a well-known fact that finding the
first
job
is one of the most difficult and exhausting tasks for a juvenile. When a candidate has extensive amount of charitable
work
under their belt that resume would stand out among others,
hence
there is a high chance of obtaining the desired
job
. For an example; many companies nowadays search for candidates that can contribute to company’s own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) tasks. In conclusion, by making charity
work
integrated into the school's framework, will enable the young to learn new skills and have access to another part of themselves.
Furthermore
, it will
also
give them an edge over other candidates to grab and secure a
job
.
