In some countries people spend long hours at work. Why does this happen? Is it positive or negative development?

There is a

trend

of working longer hours than usual in some countries in the

world

. Many reasons can be offered to explain

this

trend

, but clearly, it has negative impacts on people.

First

of all, it is argued that the main cause of people spending much of their

time

at

work

is the belief. In modern times, there are many people who believe that a dedicated worker is the one that works longer than anyone.

For example

, in Japan, workers, whatever jobs they have, usually

work

until 8 o’clock in the evening, when the average

time

to go home in the

world

is 5 in the afternoon, as a way to say that they are good employees. The

second

reason for

this

trend

is as the

world

is developing more and more, more

work

has to be done. People don’t want to take

this

task back to their home, whilst they cannot leave it for the

next

day, so they chose to continue their already long hours at the office.

As a result

,

this

trend

absolutely has a bad impact on people, especially on their health. Since workers have to spend more

time

on their

work

, they will have less

time

to take care of themselves. Staying late in the office often means workers have to eat fast food

instead

of a proper meal for dinner and have little

time

to come home and refresh for the

next

working day. Take Japan,

for instance

, they have the highest percentage of workers who died because of working overtime, which leads to low quality of health.

This

trend

also

affects the results of the

work

.

Although

Suggestion

Despite

having to spend more

time

at

work

than the others, they usually not

work

with their best condition, so their products will not have good quality, just like them. In conclusion, it is the belief and loads of

work

along with the developing

world

that makes people taking much of their

time

to

work

, and

this

definitely has negative impacts on workers’ health and their products.
