is money a good reward to motivate employees to work hard?

Nowadays more and more companies are rewarding their members of staff by giving them extra money as a way to motivate them to continue working hard, but is money the right reward for them? There are different points of view about it.

Some employees state that money is the best reward because everybody works for money, and it really motivates them to keep working hard in order to continue having that kind of reward from the company.

There are people who think that it kind of reward act as a conditioning to work just for money and not because they really want to contribute to the company. Good workers don’t work for a reward; good workers are who work because they really like their job and want to become better every day. For them the best kind of reward is a good work atmosphere, to have an active participation taking decisions or having special trainings. Rewards should not be materials.

In my opinion companies should put more attention on that kind of workers those who are creative, who have leading skills and are mentally actives. Those are qualities that money can not buy.

should be people encouraged to wear our national costume every day? Do you agree or disagree?

These days traditions are not as important as they were a century ago and actually a lot of people don’t worry about keeping them alive, even knowing that they are an important part of our country identity. Should we wear our national costume everyday as a way to make us remember our history and traditions?
There are many different points of view about it.

Some people think that wearing or not wearing our national costume has nothing to do with their knowledge about our history and how they follow our traditions. For them the kind of clothes you wear doesn`t means anything. Despite this they feel we are getting lost of our culture and our true identity because we are adapting our lives to modernization.

Young people say that there is no way they could use the same kind of clothes every day, it’s fine to wear it for especial occasions like the 18th of September, when we remember our national independence. They agree on the point that we should be more conscious about trying to keep our traditions and history but not in this way.

In my opinion I think that it is not an effective way to instruct people on traditions and history, it’s really bored just to think about wearing the same clothes every day. For me a better idea could be to make workshops as a way to preserve our identity.
