A seven day long holiday has flown away.Mourning my happy hours

during the vacation,I've been looking forward to winter holidays.People

around me seemed to have enjoyed the vacation,too.Then,is it fair that

people have the same amount of holidays regardless of their

occupations?Nevertheless,divergent views emerge on the matter in

question.Some people are of the opinion that laborers should have the

same length of holiday.They hold the view that people are born equal and

should be treated equally.The same amount of leisure time may eliminate

the unfairness among people who might be upset psychologically if

otherwise.At first sight,it may seem to be an attractive idea,but it

doesn't bear much analysis.To begin with,people do different kinds of

jobs featuring different labor intensity and so the time needed to

refresh their physical condition varies.For example,blue collar workers

may work longer hours before they get tired physically,while white

collar workers such as doctors and teachers are more mentally

stressed.Unable to work continuously as long as those physical labor

workers,white collars need more time to pull through the mental

weariness than physical tiredness.All in all,people in different jobs

assume different responsibilities and have different degrees of

pressure.Secondly,different tasks and duties are required for different

professions,resulting in the variety of holiday periods for people in

different walks of life.Some employees cannot have their legal holidays

and even have to work overtime,such as policemen,construction workers

and people in the service line.Those professions just can't be

interrupted for a mornent;other wise the society will be in a mess.Even

for some people in the same occupation,they cannot have the same

holidays entitled to them due to many factors out of human control,such

as special assignments,and health conditions etc,then not to say people

in different fields.Suppose we,as teachers do,all have three months'

holiday in a year.Then factories have to employ considerably more

workers because some of them are enjoying happy holiday.That's obviously

against the principles of doing business at lower cost and

efficiency.If we have only three days off in a year,then all the people

in our country will be working day after day.No one can squeeze time to

visit those tourist resorts leisurely .It goes without saying that the

tourist trade and catering industry thus cannot develop rapidly and

healthily
