Growth
Have I become a pay cheque slave, where
I have been institutionalised to work from hand to mouth?
The corporate world which most of us
dream off when growing up is not as glamorous as shown in the Hollywood movies;
big cars, glass house on the mountain peak, a dog to keep you company and a
partner to talk to once in a while. Such life is only true in movies; we are
told if we want to live the best life envisioned, we should go to school, work
hard and pave our way to success. True, education is a fundamental tool in
society, it equip us with necessary skill to survive in our daily lives. In
institutions such as schools we learn all sort of valuable skills, from the
social development to our educational development, in social development we
learn how to interact with other people from the various social groups and
background, we get to learn who we are and our function in society. This is a
path of self-discovery, as we get to know and understand ourselves with the
various social vulnerability we enquire along the way. We develop our cognitive
within these institutions, our level of interaction varies from that of those
who didn’t have the opportunity to be part of such an environment, our level of
maturity varies from institution to institution.
