RE: Role of car mechanics
Greetings, Professor Bakeman:
The existence of vehicles in the society plays a huge role in enabling people to move from place to place. It is a key factor that make the average person to have the ability to freely move without any constraints. The availability of personal cars is a promotional aspect that cannot be ignored in this respective case based on private privileges that comes with the initiative. Car mechanics make up a significant profession in the society that plays a basic role in the society. They make important contributions on how cars could be maintained and made a convenient tool. However, the profession is highly undervalued despite of the importance that it plays in the society. People seem to think it's a simple technical course, but it plays an important role. The paper discusses why car mechanics are undervalued in the society.
Common View about Car Mechanics
The fact that anybody can be a car mechanic is a key contributing factor that contributes to people undervaluing the profession. It is evident that one can teach him or herself to become a car mechanics. The factor depends on how interested the person is on learning and the appropriate practices that the individual can embrace to come up with an appropriate measure that focuses on the interest of the people. Today, most people take online tutorials and begin learning important aspects about vehicles (Borg, 2017). Such knowledge enables people to see the lack of necessary car mechanics, but they are capable of dealing with the problem themselves. The ability of people to cope with such issues without any form of complications highly contributes to the scenario. Therefore, the ability to equally perform lead to the undervaluing of the companies.
Car mechanics often have basic training that enable them to deal with car problems. Most people consider this to be a form of unskilled labor, but it requires a professional aspect that promotes practice to be efficient. It is the responsibility of the society to develop a positive view of the profession. This is based on the fact that it makes important contributions that relates to the general management of vehicles (Bozkurt & Lara Cohen, 2019). Although, any individual can be a mechanic, it demands special skills to be a good one. The service that the mechanics provide to use enables the running of day-to-day errand quite effective. It is important to have the view that they have special skills that aids them to deal with car problems on a temporary basis compared to our personal skills in mechanics.
Social Class
The class that the society has created in terms of the form of profession is a key issue of concern that needs to be considered in this respective. It is evident that most people view mechanics as a basic skill that does not have a definitive role. The practice is widely associated with the mechanical skills that can be easily gained through practice. Limited knowledge is required for the people to go to class. Ideally, some may define it as unskilled labor that requires a highly level of intelligence (Borg, 2017). The aspect leads to the devaluing of the society, which is a key aspect of concern that needs to be positively understood, based on the overall importance that the practice has in the society. Therefore, it is important to develop appropriate notions that focus on the interest of the mechanics and their class.
The fact that most of the mechanics get dirty in their process of duty makes the society to undervalue them. This is respect to the type of work that the mechanics do. Other professional works demands neatness yet in mechanics maintaining the aspect can prove to be a difficult task to achieve based on the complications involved in the entire process. The fact that the mechanics handle oil and other objects that might be dirty is a key factor that cannot be ignored. They make important contributions in ensuring that the vehicles are in good shapes (Bozkurt & Lara Cohen, 2019). The class of the mechanics I also affected based on the fact that they work on garages which is a place that most people view them to be dirty an inappropriate. However, their work demands that they work in such places and they make important contributions.
Lack of Functioning Equipment
The store’s owners are only willing to put in the very bare minimum that it takes to keep the store running but expect their employees to move the line as if we had brand new, fully functioning equipment. Whenever the store does get new equipment it’s always something that either doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to, is completely unnecessary, or both. The three most recent upgrades we’ve gotten in my store have been: a new machine for coffee creamer, the old one didn’t have any problems; a new drainage system for the fryer which doesn’t work and has since been disconnected; and a dishwasher that worked for about three weeks before breaking and has had a “DO NOT USE!” sign on it for months now. Even though other managers will inform the store manager of the equipment that is in need of repair, it takes an eternity for those things to be fixed. Our soft drink machine for drive-thru has been broken for a couple weeks now even though the store manager and the owners have been aware of the problem since day one. Even little repairs go undone. The dispenser for the hot fudge has been broken for about a month now and all that they need to do to fix it is order another O-ring, but they haven’t bothered to do it yet. Despite the fact that the store would run much more efficiently, the owners are unwilling to spend money on the upgrades we actually need as well as the maintenance necessary to keep our current equipment functioning. The Sanchez family is only interested in the bottom line.
Wages and Salaries
The work is highly undervalued based on the salaries and wages that the mechanics often receive. It is evident that most of the mechanics do not depend on salaries. This is based in the complexities of their work. It is a basic factor that demands appropriate action to ensure that key practices are embraced to the interest of the companies (Bederson, Clamage & Plaisant, 2018). They depend on the wages that they are given for the task that they have performed in the cars. The higher the problems and time wasted repairing the car the more amounts one has to pay them. This is a key factor that makes people to undervalue the profession with the view that it does not make important contributions to the society that is important to view and understand appropriately. Therefore, the wage is a contributing factor.
Other professions have a strict form of payment that demands the creation of a reliable payment system. This is a key factor that is based on the bureaucracy that is involved in the entire process. The practice cannot be applied on garage. This is based on the fact that cars often have different problems, leaving mechanics busy dealing with the complex problems that cars can have. Compared to other professions, management is a key issue that cannot be ignored (Bederson, Clamage & Plaisant, 2018). However, car mechanic requires little governance and their ability to earn depend on the personal skill that the individual has in handing things that involves the interest of the company in a positive way. Today, it is a contributing factor that leads to the creation of a better society.
Time Off
Mechanics operate under guidelines that may prove to be not strict. According to experts, they do not have strict guidelines. Ideally, they often have different guidelines that create the necessity of developing certain practices that function for the interest of the community alone. They often do not have a defined time off. The demand of their services normally varies making the profession to be highly volatile. It is the contributing factor 6hat make the society to undervalue the course (Borg, 2017). They seem to forget the importance of the entire process. The positive contribution of the initiative leads to the positive creation of notions that focuses on the interest of the people in a positive way. it is important to consider that it does not have a specified time off compared to other professional courses.
Understanding the contribution that the mechanics have plays an important role in making them not to have a fixed time off. It is evident that their profession has a timeline that I highly unpredictable. This is contributed by the changing demands within the market that affects the ability of the mechanics to operate under a fixed timeline. Their profession may need some moving around which is a factor that needs to be positively approached based on the positive implications that the practice is likely to have for the interest of the market (Bozkurt & Lara Cohen, 2019). Various factors need to be considered in terms of approach and other basic issues that involve the interest of the individuals. The need of people understanding the volatile time schedule of the mechanics I an important aspect that cannot be ignored based on the important contributions that they have in the society.
The lack of a fixed time schedule may mean that the people may view it as a course that is not corporate. The factor makes most individuals working on different fields such as finance, engineering and law to diminish the practice. Mechanics ensure that they provide their professional services in an appropriate way by ensuring that they remain vigilant on the approaches that they use. Ignoring the timeline that they normally work on would give the real value of the course. It is the duty of the stakeholders involved to come up with appropriate measures that focuses on the interest of the mechanics as a profession. Ideally, the lack of a fixed time schedule may make people to undermine the course, but it has an important set of contribution within the society that needs to be clearly practiced.
Gender Equality
Gender is a key issue involved in the profession that cannot be ignored. It is evident that mechanics is a profession that any person from any gender can perform. There is no gender restriction for the course. This makes it an important profession in the society that people need to ensure that they develop positive notions towards it based on the key interest that it represents in the society. The need to come up with an appropriate framework that represents the interests of the people is a key factor that cannot be ignored (Duffield, 2019). Ideally, any woman can perform as a mechanic as long as the woman has the skill that is required. The lack of women in the course is a key factor of concern despite of the limited barriers that is in the field.
Understanding the common stereotypes that exist in the society about mechanics is a key factor that make gender to be a key issue despite of the limited barriers. It is evident that the people view the field to be a men’s profession. This is based on the complications involved in performing the tasks. It entails a lot of physical action and getting dirty. This is a key aspect that may limit certain practices of people in society and needs to be properly addressed in this area. It is important to consider complex practices involving the interests of the people (Bederson, Clamage & Plaisant, 2018). Ideally, it is the basic duty of the society to ensure that appropriate notions are put in place to encourage women to be more involved in the [practice.
The gender disparity that exists in the profession based on the societal stereotypes is a key aspect of concern that needs to be positively addressed based on the field. Ideally, it is a key factor that makes people to undermine them and forget the important contributions that the field plays in the well-being of the society. it is important to understand that necessary aspects are involved in the practice. The development of key notions that involves the interest of the people is a key practice that cannot be ignored in the society (Borg, 2017). Therefore, gender equality is a key factor that makes the course to be ignored. The course has important contribution in the society based on the complications involved in the creation of an appropriate operational framework that involves the general interest of the society. It is the duty of the society to appreciate the role that it plays.
Ignoring the fact that the women avoid the field is a key matter of concern. based on research, it is evident that most women dislike the practice. This is a factor that is contributed by the nature of the work. The high rate of accidents and physical activity that is involved in the practice is a key factor that cannot be ignored in this respective case (Lloyd & Olsson, 2019). The need to develop a framework within which necessary practices can be embraced for the interest of the mechanics is a key factor of concern. The course requires the attention of the society. The gender inequality is an aspect that the society creates yet the profession has limited barriers of entry and all that is needed in this case is skill that most people might have.
Corporate Structure
Garages lack a defined corporate structure that most professional fields might have. Ideally, professions such as law, accounting, engineering and IT have corporate structure. This is based on the fact that they normally work on companies. Corporate structures within companies are a common activity that defines the entire purpose of the company (Bozkurt & Lara Cohen, 2019). It is a key factor that is contributed with the ability of the company to perform better governance that is associated with the creation of order and understanding. Ideally, the factor commands the respect on the course based on the fact that they address the important aspect that involves the allocation of duty and other essential factors. The duty of the company to develop appropriate notions functions for the interest of the different professionals.
The lack of corporate structures makes the society to undermine car mechanics. Based on their field, it is difficult to create a corporate structure. This is based on the fact that a range of specialty is needed in the practice. This is a factor that functions at creating a reliable operational structure that only focuses on the interest of the people in a positive way. it is the duty of mechanics to perform their tasks based on the complications involved in the type of repair that they perform (Duffield, 2019). Corporate structure will it influence the process of repair which is an essential aspect that needs to be appropriately addressed when approaching the field. It is important to consider that various notions are required to ensure that a better framework is created to ensure that corporate structure can be applied. However, the application of the practice in the company is quite difficult.
The field lacks a corporate structure based on the mode of registration. In most cases, garages are registered as a sole proprietorship or a partnership. This is based on the size of the garage and the range of services that they provide to their customers. Ideally, the practice cannot be ignored based on the relevant contributions that they make to the society. It is quite inappropriate to ignore the fact that various aspects are normally embraced in the actual process. Coming up with positive ideal that involves the interest of the company is a key factor that cannot be ignored (Lloyd & Olsson, 2019). Other professions work in different organizations that are often registered as a public limited company. Ideally, the notion affects the ability of the society to fully respect the mechanic profession and understand the important contribution that it makes to the society.
Recommendations
· In my opinion, car mechanics is an important profession within the current social structure. Our society is highly developing in terms of technology and ideals. Cars are important part of our daily lives based on the daily movements that we often have in our duties. The contributions that cars play is fundamental. This makes the mechanics an important part of our daily lives, without the important services that they give to our cars, the maintenance of the vehicles maybe quite difficult (Duffield, 2019). In a professional view, car mechanics are a core part of the society and the contribution that they make towards development is a key issue that cannot be ignored. They have a vital part to play in ensuring that the transport mechanics of most people in the society is a success. Ideally, we need to appreciate the contributions that they make in the society.
· The profession demands a lot of skill and experience for one to be a good mechanic. A small course might be required but the full capability comes with a lot of practice. Most people might have mechanical skills however, it is important to understand that they make individual contributions that are associated with their ability to deal with a wide range of vehicles. Dominating their contribution to society is a poor practice and may not yield positive results in the complexity of providing specialized services (Borg, 2017). Ideally, it is important to understand that mechanics play an important part in the economy of the country. This is based on the transport sector that needs the appropriate attention to ensure that it is fully effectual in terms of application and other basic measures of concern.
In summary, the paper discusses why car mechanics are undervalued in the society. The fact that anybody can be a car mechanic is a key contributing factor that contributes to people undervaluing the profession. It is evident that one can teach him or herself to become a car mechanics. Gender is a key issue involved in the profession that cannot be ignored. It is evident that mechanics is a profession that any person from any gender can perform. There is no gender restriction for the course. The field lacks a corporate structure based on the mode of registration. In most cases, garages are registered as a sole proprietorship or a partnership. This is based on the size of the garage and the range of services that they provide to their customers. In my opinion, car mechanics is an important profession within the current social structure. Our society is highly developing in terms of technology and ideals. Cars are important part of our daily lives based on the daily movements that we often have in our duties
