Entertainment V.S. Work

C'est la vie

As Jiang Wei said, it’s a good way to combine entertainment with work by making a office like this. And she also mentioned that this kind of office may take lots of money and effort which would be not popular among the employee who just want for high salary rather than relaxation, so that it may be a little bit hard for company to achieve it. While, I partly disagree with what she said. Though building such a office, in some degree, is at a huge cost of employees’ salary, workers may be largely motivated by these working and relaxation style and therefore have a better mind to deal with the work. Moreover, with a more comfortable working atmosphere, employees may be more willing and passionate to fight. Therefore, the output may be greater than ever.
While, given such a relaxing environment for working, workers would inevitably slack off the work and therefore the efficiency may be reduced. The workers with weaker will would tend to slow down their pace of working and long for the relaxation time after day time. It’s definitely a negative side of building an office like this.
Most importantly, this kind of office may be suitable for some kinds of apartment in a company but not all. Divisions like accounting and guard since the employees there should always keep the preciseness and calmness, so the relaxation should be kept away to the greatest extent.

Safety V.S. Convenience

From this passage, I can see that tesla have a really advanced presell system. It provides a convenient way for customers to order the cars simply online. And the car would be delivered to an appropriate spot that is suitable for client to pick up. This selling stream is definitely satisfied by customer since it reduces much effort that the customers have to deal with during the transaction.
However, there is unavoidable risk during the deal as far as I concern.The internet technology is so booming today that some lawbreaker may use this advanced technology to commit a crime. During the transaction in the internet, there remains pretty bugs that may lead people to the wrong page and that may be a trap of getting the personal information. Customer may run at a loss if they get into the trap. Let alone the deposit for a car is large so the bad people would target more on it.
To sum up, the shortcut of booking a car is convenient by using the Internet, but at the same time Tesla is supposed to strengthen its safety system to ensure the interest of the customers.

Reflection on Indian Act

The article indicates that how the India Act influenced aboriginal people’s life century before.

To control the cultural and quantitative power of first nations people, Canada government set up this Indian Act. With some impenetrable rules such as earning a university degree would automatically lose their Indian status, the harsher the rule is, the weaker inner confidence the government holds. Only when it faces the situation that threatens itself, would it makes the unyielding violent act to the aboriginal people. While, as far as I concern, to strengthen a country’s unification and solidarity, the government shouldn’t just implement compulsory law which restrict the right of its people, but to develop its economy and science well enough to convince and guard its people. If a state is really safe and attractive to live in, people would never reject to work well and live well in this place. So as the specific company. If the company itself is enough overwhelming, it would never have to afraid of the losing of customers or threat of rivals.

Back to the Indian Act, it is not without its feasibility. Since there is always some people who have a high ambition and never satisfy with what they have owned. They want more so what they tend to do might threaten country’s stability, let alone the aboriginal. So Indian Act can exactly limit these people’s ambition and guarantee the safety and equity of the rest of people.

Featherdale’s dilemma

The news analyze the input and output of the Featherdale Wildlife Park. It is much costly to maintain a zoo than I ever think. I really appreciate the words Mr Sinclair-Smith says:”Running a zoo is not all about profit. This is a clearly a business that must reconcile the welfare demands of the animals with the need to make money.” Featherdale dose a great work in balancing spending huge cost in taking off salary and taking care of animals and charging for earning money.

While, I don’t totally agree with the ways that Featherdale attracts visitors other than making the environment of the zoo nice. That is, allowing visitors to hug or even feed the animals. Since no one can guarantee that the animals are exactly friendly to people or the food carried by people is suitable to the specific animals. So it may be many uncertain factors that lead to chaos between visitors to animals. Moreover, visitors’ anticipation to be close to the pretty animals may somewhat disturb the normal work and rest of the animals, which affects animals’ health in some degree.

It’s really hard for Featherdale to figure out a most balanced solution to attract tourism as well as the give the optimal life to the animals. But it’s significant to achieve since that exactly reflect the essence of a zoo.
