Another Thursday to end out the week, another main point to discuss; this time its after college! College was, and still is, a main contributor to the whole communism dilemma that seems to have a reoccurring theme in my speech, but what happens after college? Does communism still appear? Indeed it does.
3) Real World Jobs and Applications and the effects of College Communism
Communism in Jobs
The idea that a system involving a hierarchy can exist in America was shocking enough with Middle, High school, and College, but did you know that it is even implemented in the work force as well? A Country so dedicated to electing people to represent you as a person, yet it only applies when dealing with the government. In a normal Job workplace, you are a new employee and have to follow orders from your boss who, let me remind you, was not elected, but hired into office. Sound familiar? You are brand new and expected to know nothing about the job, yet for some people have majored and studies that field of work for years in college, and someone is hired above you who may or may not know less than even you do. Granted, most CEO and major corporate bosses have went through college already, but not all of them. The only freedom you are guaranteed is the freedom to quit your job, with regards to the constitution of course.
Communism After College
As stated above, a normal work place sounds all too familiar to the very definition of communism, but what about all of the college graduates that do not attend a normal work environment? What about all the doctors and nurses and tech students? According to communism, everyone is in the same group based on abilities and needs. This can be translated into America's system by saying everyone is apart of the same group based on qualifications. The bad news is, Regardless of what classes were taken in college, if someone comes out of college with a degree in medicine and wishes to be a doctor, they are the same as every other person with a fresh degree in medicine wanting to be a doctor. Nothing sets them apart like they thought. Your "Choices" in classes for college mean nothing when it comes to hard copy pen and paper. The only qualifications are your major and your goals.
Results
Although Democracy and Communism are two very different ways of living, it seems the school systems and how jobs are run favor the communistic style of management. From hierarchies to the way new graduates are classified, nothing in the current systems scream democracy like many Americans think it does. They give you choices along the road to feel as if you dictate your own path, but looking at the bigger scheme, all of that does not matter. Every person, regardless of actual talent and abilities, will be judged by classifications and put into jobs where they will have to answer to someone above them. This is not an opinion, it is a fact.
