Should tattoos be allowed in the workplace?

I chose this topic because it is relevant for young people who want to get a job and are concerned about the attitude of employers to body art.
  
The question about whether employees should be allowed to have tattoos remains disputable to this day. In my opinion, employers should not view tattoos negatively and there are three points to prove it.
   First of all, I strongly believe that having tattoos does not affect the quality of work an employee performed. The quality of work depends primarily on the professional skills and abilities of the employee. Negative attitudes towards highly qualified employees just because they have a tattoo means to discriminate them. As the representative of the company Lush said: “We don’t discriminate on the grounds of color,” she notes, and “our customers don’t care about that; they care about quality customer service.”
          Secondly, it reveals the identity of a person and it makes as a consequence the best contact with colleagues. Tattoos may be considered as an "indicator" of a person's self-expression. Moreover, often they mean a lot to people who have them. I think when a person does not have the opportunity to open up at work, it will be rather complicated for him to work in a team. It is a well-known fact that teamwork is the basis of the successful work of any company.
         Finally, the opinion that the tattoo is made mostly by criminals is outdated. Breaking this stereotype, the company shows its progressiveness. As it said in the article, a large number of modern corporations such as Lush, Google, and Ikea refused to follow prejudices and now position themselves as a tattoo-friendly employer.
         To sum it up, workers with body art can also be qualified and responsible employees. Tattoos help these people to reveal their personality, to tell something about their character without words. Therefore, I am sure tattoos should be allowed in the workplace.

    Katya,

    thanks for sharing your essay draft with your peers and me.The development of the arguments in the body of your essay gives the readers a good idea about several aspects of this issue and clearly illustrates your position. It is rather logical and consistent.

    There is a problem with references, though, which we'll discuss in class. The thing is that it's not enough to provide the link to the article(s) you have referred to in your work. You need to add the following information:

    Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Online Periodical, volume number (issue number if available). Retrieved from: https://www.someaddress.com/full/url/. Date of access. Date of publication.

Should physician-assisted suicide be legal? Christopher de Bellaigue Death on demand: has euthanasia gone too far? Date of publication: Fri 18 Jan 2019 06.00 GMT Retrieved from:  https://clck.ru/F4VuB     I chose this topic because it seems to me especially relevant now because all the youth of the world are fighting for the realization of human rights. The topic of the discussion is closely connected with it.                   The question about whether physician-assisted suicide should be legalized remains the issue of the day. People are in two minds whether a dying patient has the right to die with the assistance of a physician or not.

Higher temperatures driving 'alarming' levels of hunger – report Global hunger index finds countries affected by drought and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa have seen biggest increases in undernourished people        The annual report is published as a series of the committee on world food security meetings. The findings show levels of hunger are “serious” or “alarming” in 47 countries and “extremely alarming” in one: the Central African Republic.  Dominic MacSorley, CEO of Concern Worldwide, co-sponsors of the report with Welthungerhilfe, said that progress towards zero hunger by 2030 is now “under threat or is being reversed”. “Approximately 45 countries are set to fail to achieve low levels of hunger by 2030,” he said.         Extreme weather events are putting food production and security in danger and the risk is expected to increase. Food production is likely to fall due to higher temperatures, water scarcity, greater CO2 a...

  Hello, my name is Ekaterina Maidanyuk!        In my opinion, this picture is quite suitable for a description of myself as a person. So, I can't call myself an optimist, however, I strongly believe that even if some troubles make you feel depressive, there's always a possibility that everything will change for the better. Moreover, a person himself should determine his/her own destiny the way he/she wants. I am always inspired by people who do everything to live for their own pleasure, to live happily, despite all the obstacles they may meet. I think it can be considered one of the most important goals in my life. Do not be afraid to be the master of your life and make the most of it - I think it's awesome!
