Questions:
1. Do you think trading would work or succeed in the Philippines? Why or why not?
In my opinion, trading would work in the Philippines as many people wants to
trade their good but just having a hard time for finding a perfect partner to trade
with. For today’s generation, it is now easy to trade using the social media. I just
saw a recent post when a man trades his cock fighter in exchange for a bucket of
Jollibee chicken joy bought by a lady. The man is searching for someone who will
pay for his chicken so that he could buy food for his family. The lady seems to
have a bucket of chicken joy left and she decided to trade it. Both of them seems
to be happy as the father feed his family and the lady gave the cock to her beloved
father as a gift. As long as the both party is happy and contented, trading would be
beneficial to our country. Trading would succeed in our country if there will be
trust for each party and they came to an agreement.
2. Explain in your own words: “One man’s trash is another one’s treasure”.
One man’s trash is something that a person possessed but the value is already
depreciated. It might be the other way around where it could be considered as a
treasure for someone who really need it. Just for an example of an accountant who
have now his spare time because of the pandemic. He needs someone who will fix
his broken laptop so that he could do his job at home. Maybe he could trade to
someone who has the skills in troubleshooting a laptop and in exchange, he could
render his service to him by giving him a free advice on how he could manage his
bills and expenses. The one who troubleshoot the computer might consider his
skills as a trash during his free time but he could get a free consultation out of his
skills by offering it in someone who needs it like the accountant. Monetary
exchange might not be consider as long as they satisfy the need of one another.
3. If you were to trade something, let’s say a skill that you have, what would you trade it
for? Explain thoroughly.
I’m going to trade my skill in acting for someone who could teach me how to
speak in English fluently. I already did that when I was in senior high school
wherein I do have a skill in acting and I’m a good coach in helping someone
develop his skills in acting in exchange for helping in my homework in English
class. I consider my skill in acting as insignificant for me right now as I pursue
the accounting profession. As a 3rd year student, I do really need to enhance my
skill in communicating with other people using the English language as it is
universal and commonly being used in the industry. Someone might want to trade
his skills in public speaking in exchange for my skills in acting. We might help
each other as I teach him how to act properly for his audition or project in school
and he could teach me some techniques on how to speak in English fluently.
4. If you were offered free food, housing, transportation plus other non-monetary benefits
in exchange for the work you would be doing in your FIRST job after graduation, would
you accept this in lieu of a salary? Why or why not?
I would not accept the monetary benefits in exchange for my service in my first
job after graduation. Non-monetary benefits would restrict me from buying what I
want and it is really hard to look for someone who will trade their goods for you
in exchange for your item. Money would help me pay my bills and expenses at
home and those non-monetary benefits could not do anything to pay those things
like our electricity bill which would require payments in monetary terms. I would
utilize my skills in my chosen profession by earning money so that I would be
able to buy what I want. If I would only let someone pay me using non-monetary
payment, I might not be useful to me and if it would be useful at some point, it
would not last any longer. Unlike money, I could save it for my future as it value
might increase if I would invest it in something else.
