employees filing their nails, making personal calls on the telephone, taking three-hour 
lunches, or surfing the Internet for fun. 
Finally, the model of capitalism is proving to be the most efficient model that we have 
right now. This model of job security completely contradicts the foundations of capitalism. 
We can see in the United States now that people are starting to change jobs, even careers 
more and more often. Some career consultants even recommend that employees find new 
jobs every three to five years. Even in countries that still offer job security for life, this 
model is showing signs of dying out. For example, in Japan, once famous for its lifelong 
jobs, both employees and employers are starting to expect that these jobs will not last a 
lifetime. Many of my Japanese friends travel back and forth between the United States and 
Japan are have been able to find temporary professional jobs while they are in Japan. 
In short, I disagree that companies should offer their employees jobs for life. We can see 
this example in some parts of the world and in other areas in the United States, but these 
examples are generally regarded as outmoded ways of conducting business. Finally, the 
models of capitalism, even though it may seem cruel, the so-called “law of the jungle,” are 
proving to be the most effective way to raise the standard of living of a country. 
(b) I think that businesses should not hire people for entire lives. The business may decline 
if it hires people for entire lives. An average life of a person nowadays is about sixty to 
seventy years. There is a general tendency that people's mental as well as physical 
capabilities decline with increase in age. This results in decrease in efficiency of 
employees. Thus if a business hires employees for entire lives, there is a danger of 
decrease in productivity and functioning of the business. To avoid this, a business must 
hire new employees after the current employees term is over. 
Besides, one must give opportunities to fresh talents and youngsters. Business is 
an activity, which is dynamic. It changes with time. Business can thrive and be successful 
only if it understands the present trend and supply what the customer wants. So the people 
who know the present trend and can use it to the business firm's advantage must be hired. 
The young generation is normally accustomed to the present trend and they emanate new 
ideas that can be useful to the business firm. If a business hires employees for entire lives 
then it cannot hire fresh talents, as there will be no vacancies. Even if the employer who 
hires people for entire lives also hire new talents there will be excess employees. This 
results in excess cost to hire and maintain them. 
I agree that the person who is currently in a firm and served it for many years has 
experience and experience counts a lot. But I don’t insist in removing all the experienced 
employees at once and hire fresh people who will be novice to the business. The new 
employees learn from the existing experienced employees and gradually develop skill and
