C: Welcome to this ADS discussion. Today we¡¦re talking about problems of

P: The major reasons for people to be lonely are three:
1. People work too long hours that they don¡¦t have much time to be with
other
2. It¡¦s easy for people who overwork to develop pressure so that they
can¡¦t 3. People don¡¦t have correct social skills. So it will make them not to talk with one another. It is the major reason why loneliness is rising. |

C: Now a student wants to ask a question. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
S1: I come from City University and study business. How can we overcome
loneliness? |
¡@ |

P: We can offer social skills education to students, because social
skills can make students learn many things, such as meeting more people, talking more open- mindedly, and learning to control emotion when interacting with people. |

S1: Workholism also affects our social relationships since we hardly
have time to be with people if we work overtime. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
P:
Government should make policies to regulate hours for workers to finish
work |

S1: When are these educational programs offered to train students to
interact with people? |
¡@ |
¡@ |
P: It¡¦s a good question! Education is the most useful and easy way to
improve the problem. For instance, teaching youngsters how to communicate with people in manners of articulation, correct information and politeness can reduce conflict among teenagers. |

C: Good idea! However, our next topic is about the Crime Rate. Recent
information shows that crime rate is rising in 2005 and 2006. I believe Professor C.K. is able to provide us interesting information on this topic. |

P:
Many students are nervous
about getting employed, because it means responsibility and how useful one is. Young people are encouraged to study hard at school so that they will have a bright future. They are brainwashed that knowledge is power and knowledge is the most important thing to success. But they have no idea of what is a good job. |
¡@ |
¡@ | S2:Yes, what is a good job? | ¡@ |
¡@ |
P: Some people keep a job that have high pay and have good status in the
society. However, they do not agree that it is a good job. If you are not interested in the work you¡¦re doing, you are in a nightmare. So a good job is that we can make progress and we are interested in. |

S2:Professor, it seems there is a relation between unemployment and crime rate. |
¡@ |
¡@ |
P: Right! When people cannot earn a living, they might have to do
something else to live such as cheating, stealing or robbery. So, if we want to decrease the crime rate, what we should do is to decrease unemployment. There are some social security programs we should offer to those who are temporarily unemployed such as unemployment compensation and unemployment insurance. If we can provide perfect social security, crime rate will be decreased. |

ADS seminar will meet next Wednesday. The topic will be about modern technology and work trend. Welcome to join us and see you all again then. |
