Compassion 2

I believe compassion is all in the eyes of the beholder. I for one believe there is not a whole lot of compassion in the world. It is a sad truth but it is the truth nonetheless. What I mean is that in a business run culture there is no room for this characteristic. If you are five minutes late to work they will not have compassion. Most likely you will be fired and if it becomes a pattern then you will be fired for sure. In the classroom setting there is a sort of compassion in the younger years. The further you go in the educational world the harder the stipulations become and the less compassion there is in the classroom. For instance in third grade you could turn in homework whenever you got it done. Most likely the teacher would realize that you would not work on it outside class and give you time to finish in class. Now there is also the typical college classroom. In this environment there is no room for this kind of laid back working. There is a sort of rigidness to the everyday work that needs to be done. If you don't turn in a paper on time usually it will not be graded. In fact, it is rare to have the teacher even look at your work if it is turned in late. This is the same across the board. No matter where you go in the educational system there is no room for compassion. I think this is a slight problem in our society. There should be a sense of compassion. Especially if there is to be any quality of life. A person in a job with no compassion at all finds him or herself being trapped in. There is no room to mess up. I think this may lead to the worker becoming afraid to take risks and succeed in different ways than the typical. This lessens imagination in the workplace. In the society we live in today there is a need for workers who take risks in the workplace in an effort to make things better or improve them. Without this kind of creative thinking our productivity will fall and the US will no longer be the envy of other nations.
