The writer contends that starting own business is highly beneficial. However, the lecturer presents several points that contradict this argument.
First, the lecturer asserts that having own business does not free employees from bureaucracy, for example, getting a legal license for owning a business is a long process involving government's approval, making loans, and etc. Also, businessmen prefer to have partners; however, when conflict arises between them, separating process has to come which is a very complicated bureaucratic process. This casts doubt on the writer's contention that because individuals who have their own business are lack of bureaucracy, they can express whatever they want without any constraints; therefore, they are happy.
Second, the lecturer contends that owning a business is not particularly stable because there is no one else to rely on, but on oneself. Actually, 75% of new businesses turn out unsuccessful in the first six months. This refutes the writer's assertion that because workers in corporations can indiscriminately lose jobs without any warnings, working for corporations is risky.
The lecturer lastly states that having own business does not particularly provide more health benefits because owners need to find their own providers and support themselves. This rebuts the writer's statement that health benefits firms offer decrease and insurance premiums increase; therefore, employees pay more than they get in return. Also, pension benefits are being cut to lower payroll costs which means they are compelled to worry about their retirement plan. |
