Argument Draft

 

    Have you ever heard someone say something about a “Type A Personality”. This is typically people who fall into leadership roles and people who find it easy to work and direct other people. Certain people are acclimated to all different kinds of work however it always seems that this type A personality is sought out more heavily than others. Interviews always ask for leadership, and it always seems that job positions in charge of others like managers all the way to CEOs are paid more than those that do jobs of similar status without holding authority over others. So why is that? Society is centered around people that can lead others despite everything not being able to function with only leaders. This can pose a significant problem for people who struggle to lead, whether it is a social disability, personality, or even just plain appearance can make it more difficult. Jobs in leadership positions require too many of predisposed conditions for them to be deemed fairly more important and worth more money than other parts of a working society. People who aren’t born naturally charismatic shouldn’t struggle to survive paycheck to paycheck just because it is more difficult for them.

            Social disorders make general life, something as simple as getting groceries, into a large mental chore. Social anxiety can make people uncomfortable in simple situations, autism can make it harder to interact with people, and even something like depression can make people less personable and make it

harder to appeal to people in a conversation. All of these barriers can be very difficult if not impossible to break down. While some social interaction is going to happen in a job regardless of position, the positions that are easier for these socially impaired people would typically pay far less than a role with management or leading. These warehouse type jobs though, factory, restock, things that are absolutely necessary and sometimes more dangerous or volatile but can pay barely enough to get by sometimes.

 

            [Supporting Paragraph 2]

 

            Working hard is however a factor in getting larger, higher paying positions. Hard work is very important and anyone who works their way up a ladder is definitely worthy of praise. However accommodations still need to be made for people who are hindered or halted by certain factors. It is very easy to leave behind coworkers after promoting or finding a better job but some people can get stuck in low paying jobs for their entire life due to social disability or just a lack of confidence or leadership experience. Rather than encouraging and teaching leadership skills to everyone, a diversity of skill sets should be embraced and worked upon. This could have large effects on quality of life and work for many, many people.
