Various opinions may exist over the argument that multi-tasking has a
negative effect on students’ academic work. As
far as I concerned, I am in complete agreement with this argument. The two
reasons stated below can be valid evidences to support my view.
To begin with, the multi-tasking disenables students to focus on their studies.
In detail, multi-taking can cause low concentration and, thus, make working less effective work performance. In
these days, students have to compete to seize the limited chance provided by
schools, companies and the job market. Therefore, in order to gain their own
competitiveness, they should know what they need first and focus on it. Take Warren Buffett for instance. He was is a globally famous CEO
and an investor. Listed among Times Most 100 influential people, he was
mentioned that it (여기서 it이 뭘 나타내는건가요) was important when making a priority
list when he worked. This effort shaped him into a
successful business man. Such comment sounds highly convincing since he is a
well-known man of success.
In addition, the multi-taking can make a lot of stress for people.
Specifically, people feel overwhelming overwhelmed
when they work in various things. This can cause
stress for people. Stress is obviously harmful in many ways. It can cause an
emotional problems, physical problems and poor performance. Thus, in order to
improve the overall quality of life, people
should focus on one thing instead of caring of various things at the same time.
According to a study conducted by a
cognitive science team in UCLA’s research department, there was a huge gap
between two groups of high school students who had been used to different types of task during one month. The first group was given
only one task for each day, while the second group was forced to do three more tasks for each day. And then they
recorded their self-confidence grades from 0 to
10 after each day. The researchers found out that the former showed a higher grade for of
8.5 days on average, while latter received
was an extremely lower grade of 1.2 days on average.
This result of study indicated that multi-taking can make negative effects for student to improve their academic works.
Taking
all these into consideration, I am in complete agreement that multi-tasking has
a negative effect on students’ academic work.
