▶ Your Answer :
Modern technology has enabled people to work at home communicating with the office through the video phone or the Internet. Some people may think this is more expedient than leaving home and going to the office. However, I strongly disagree with the statement that it is better to work alone at home than to work with others at a company for some reasons.
To begin with, people can interact with others if they are at a company. Talking on the phone or sending an e-mail is not any better than actually meeting each other and seeing the faces. As there is an old saying that human beings are social animals who cannot live alone, it is much more desirable for people to go out to work and literally interact with people. For example, my brother had thought working at home by himself would be better than going to work. For that reason, he decided to telecommute and stay home; however, he felt so lonely and boring working all alone and changed his mind to go work at a company.
On the top of that, while working with other people, they can learn something new from each other. When people are together, they are more likely to make a synergistic effect and give other some brilliant ideas. In my own case, my team, the marketing department, were working for an advertisement of our company's new product. When one of members, Sally, mentioned an advertisement on the Internet, I came up with the idea of integrating the advertisement into an Internet game. Had I worked by myself at home, I would not have been able to think out that idea.
To sum up, if people work together at a company, they interact with others and become more sociable. Working alone at home will give them much loneliness. In addition, while working at a company, a great idea may occur thanks to other members. For these reasons, it is better to work with others at a company than to work alone at home. |
