Helping Hungary


          Hungary is not a feeling that occurs between lunch and dinner. Hungary is a country in Eastern Europe that was once a world power. Nowadays, this country is struggling. My desire is to help Hungary see what needs to be corrected within the country. If Hungary is going to return to prominence, eliminating racism and fixing the educational system are two crucial steps.         
First, eradicating racism will help Hungary. Racism still exists in the country. Despite witnessing the Holocaust, which destroyed the country, many Hungarians are still racist towards Jews and Gypsies (Rowlands, 2013). A lot of animosity towards minority groups exists that have the right to live within the borders of the nation. Correcting the issue should start with teaching younger generations to respect others. Also, the leaders of Hungary need to change their views; many leaders are very racist towards the minorities in Hungary (Rowlands, 2013).
Second, the educational system in Hungary is flawed and needs reform. The government has caused trouble by cutting budgets and lowering academic standards (Fuzessi, 2013).  Without proper education, the nation cannot prosper. The current system is very restrictive and is conflicting against European Union protocol (Fuzessi, 2013). Hungary should follow the example of other successful nations and adopt a system that is approved by the European Union.
                Problems with racism and with the educational system are limiting the potential of Hungary. Destroying racism as well as properly educating Hungarians will increase success in the country. The government needs to change as well as the citizens. If these two things occur, Hungary will succeed.

How to Stay Employed


           Nowadays, surviving in the workplace can be a tough task. However, if an employee shows valuable characteristics to an employer, trips to the unemployment line are not necessary. The two main characteristics of a successful employee are kindness and diligence. If a person is kind and diligent, then he will have success in the workplace.
 Being nice is not just something a person learns in kindergarten; kindness is critical to the success of a business. First, kindness helps a company function. When kindness exists in workplace relationships, the business prospers (McIvor, 2013). Second, working in teams is a vital part of the business world, and kindness helps a team cooperate so that a business can maximize its potential. Being kind will make an employee more valuable because coworkers will enjoy working with the employee.
Working hard is also a crucial part of a successful employee. Furthermore, when diligence exists in a company, it will prosper. A correlation between hard work and success exists; the harder someone works, the more success there will be (Yuzaki, 2013). Second, diligence in the workplace shows commitment and loyalty. When an employee works hard and has success, it shows that the company is more than just a job to the employee because he cares about the company. Bosses will notice and appreciate successful and diligent employees.
Simple characteristics such as kindness and diligence are major parts of what make up a successful employee. Kindness helps a company work as a team. Diligence helps create success in a company. Possessing these important traits determines the success of a worker.
