Should College Students Hire Cleaners?
范文 College Students, Please Mind Your Own Business!
--Should College Students Hire Cleaners?
Several years ago, a middle school in Shanghai announced that students would be required to pull up and remove the weeds growing on the school’s playground. The next day, what did happen was that, instead of doing the work themselves, the students stood in the shade of the buildings and the trees, watching their parents doing the work on their behalf in the midday heat. What a “spectacular” scene of doting parents and spoiled children!
The idea and the practice that college students in China should hire cleaners to keep their dorms clean are just an extension of such notorious dotage and spoiling and, as such, constitute an unmistakable indication of our education being truly sick and decadent. Those who advocate and support the contention maintain that, as Chinese families get materially better-off in recent years, college students have the implicit freedom to spend their money on whatever they desire and hiring cleaners to keep their dorms clean can help students save time, which they presumably can spend on their studies. However, such a chain of reasoning is seriously flawed.
Admittedly, people could spend their legitimately-earned money on whatever they like; however, they should do so only to the extent that they spend the money on those commodities and services they themselves are incapable of. For each college student sharing a dorm with 4 or 5 roommates, there are at most 3 or 5 square meters of space for him or her to tend to, including the space in the corridor. Keeping such a small space tidy and clean is a piece of cake for any college student as an adult; the labor involved in the process is minimal, so is the time required. When frugality is still a universally acknowledged virtue in the present-day world, spending money on hiring cleaners for a trivial responsibility students are wholly capable of performing themselves is simply an act of money squandering.
Managing a dorm one lives in is really assuming responsibilities for one’s own actions. When the dorm gets disorderly and unclean, it is its inhabitants who should get it tidy and clean. In performing the cleaning him/herself, a college student learns to share the responsibility for managing a public space of which one is a part. The student also shows respect for the common welfare of the entire dorm. Cleaning one’s own dorm is a necessary process whereby one becomes a responsible person.

What actually lies behind such a contention is a deep-entrenched contempt for manual labor and the argument that hiring cleaners could help students save time and devote to their studies is a mere pretext. Typically, college education is not dominated by heavy loads of coursework and a college student has ample time to manage his/her own affairs apart from his or her studies. Usually, those students who claim they are too busy to clean their own dorms are most often found otherwise preoccupied with playing computer games or shopping. They refuse to do manual labor because they tend to regard themselves as elites or the “chosen ones” once they succeed in entering a college. As self-styled elites, they believe they are bound for white-collar careers and thus have the privilege to stay aloof from menial work of a blue-collar worker.
This naturally leads to a serious question regarding the ultimate aim of our education. No one denies the importance of learning but acquiring learning is only part of the college education. Essentially, college education is about the development of a whole person, who can apply the knowledge and the skills in diverse intellectual spheres to cope with the challenges ahead and turn one into a person instrumental to our society. Barack Obama is a living example of how a responsible person can grow into a global leader. What are most impressive about this first Afro-American president of the United States are not those impassioned speeches he has made about “Yes, Change We Can” but his readiness to serve the society through practical social work. On January 19, 2009, just one day before his inauguration, the president-elect worked as a volunteer at the Sasha Bruce Youthwork Shelter, painting the walls of the dormitories for homeless teens. This illustrates that the avoidance of physical labor is never the mark of a true elite.
In the Chinese labor market, recent years have already witnessed an alarming surplus of college graduates, among whom a considerable proportion has found it hard to be employed. One of the reasons for their unemployment is their failure to acquire effective skills to solve practical problems. This constitutes a sharp contrast with the Japanese corporate culture in which newly-recruited college graduates start their professional careers not with the fundamentals of office work, but with the cleaning jobs in the company toilets. By forming their character and shaping their willpower, toilet cleaning enables Japanese college graduates to become CEOs of many influential multinational companies. This culture is echoed in South Korea where the Minister of the National Treasury worked part-time as toilet cleaner in the wake of the Asian financial crisis about a decade ago. How could we expect Chinese college students to be future leaders, on national and global scales,when they even refuse to mind their own business of cleaning their dorms?
It is well articulated that “those who are ordained for a lofty mission should first be subjected to the most rigorous intellectual and physical hardships.” If learning and knowledge can “civilize one’s mind”, doing physical labor can serve to “brutalize one’s physique.” Instead of being reciprocally repulsive, those two impulses are what a college student ought to cultivate in the equal measure. Whether or not college students should hire cleaners to take care of their dorms is not a matter of money or of time, but a matter of whether we expect to develop ourselves into men of integrity, responsibility, and maturity. To the extent that Chinese college students should cultivate healthy and productive value orientations, they should take every precaution against becoming spoiled by the materialistic well-being that the country as a whole is currently experiencing. After all, there are provinces of human behavior where money cannot and should not exert its impact because such behavior is measured not in terms of money but in terms of moral values.

Recently there are reports in newspapers and internet that most of students of FuDan University who live in newly-built students flat or off-campus housing hire clernness from housekeeping services ,which brings about an intense debate between those students and teachers of the university and also among our society .Facing with the new inclination among our college students ,different people hold different opinions .Some students deem
that hiring cleaners as a new form of efficiency which deserves nothing to be accused while some of administers believe that it is an
pretense to escape from nsibility.Even someone think that the hiring of clean service is a sign indicating that students are becoming harmonious with society, and what causes those who hold the viewpoint of doing cleanness to think so is their
tradditional opinion that colledge students is a separate group of society .As far as I am concerned,I think the argument is not reasonable enough . The main reason for my propensity for the opposite opinion is as follows .
It is the reality that our college students have to cope with a great deal of events of our daily life besides study ,and which also occupy a part of our time and
energy to some extent .In addition,with the rapid development of our science and technology ,our society offer us more services than before .However it can not be the excuse for us to hire cleaners,and support the idea that hiring cleaners means being harmonious
with society and doing cleanness means separation from society which cannot stand to reason.Of course,as students of university ,we have achived the age of adults
and shouldnot keep away from our society ,however,as everyone can see that, there are accountless
approaches to get in touch with our society besides hiring cleaners.For instance,We can find
some part-time jobs and participate some activity associates which can greatly contribute to our contacting with and get harmonious with our society .Maybe someone will argue that these things may account for a lot of time of them , and cause
them cannot do well in their study . It is unreasonable to stand by,I think.As long as
we make full use of our time and efficiently arrange our time ,we will succeedly make it. Without doubt ,numerous examples can be found in newspapers ,Tvs and
internet .With the same age as ours,the main characters of such events can deal with it ,why we cannot ?Even some students spend much of time on playing vidio
games and some meaningless things rather than doing cleanness by their own and join in the activity.How can we explain this phenomenon ?Are they busy with their study ?Of course they do not .
In addition ,some aspect also deserves some words here .As college students ,we certainly should do everything that we can solve and cultivate the habit of
undertaking responsibility and being independent .In the event which we are discussing ,we also should make clear where the money used to hire cleaners comes from .If it is earned by ourselves ,we of course can hire such services.Can such students be called adults ? The general definition for adult is ,at least he or she should be independent .So from this angle hiring cleaners is improper for our students .
In a word ,we had better do cleaning by our own rather than hiring cleaners because it only takes a little part of our time and we can easily be good at our study at the same time as long as we arrage our time efficiently and make full use of it.
