• Background: Rapid technological development has created hundreds of apps that provide convenience in daily life.
  
  

• Observation: These apps generate job opportunities, particularly for menial workers such as delivery drivers, ride-hailing services, or short-term task providers.
  
  

• Statement: Agree to the idea

Body 1: Economic Aspect

• Point: Menial jobs provide only short-term income and lack career progression.
  
  

• Example: Food delivery or ride-hailing may help individuals earn money, but they do not build sustainable skills for the future.
  
  

• Analysis: While such jobs are convenient for reducing unemployment, they do not foster innovation or specialization. Workers spend their time on repetitive, low-skill tasks rather than improving their qualifications.
  
  

• Explanation: In the long run, this limits a country’s economic competitiveness because an economy dominated by menial work cannot compete with nations that invest in high-tech industries, research, and skilled professions. Thus, rather than stimulating growth, these jobs can trap workers in low-productivity sectors.
  
  

Body 2: Cultural/Social Aspect

• Point: These jobs may discourage the pursuit of higher education and long-term career goals.
  
  

• Example: Young people choosing easy app-based jobs over investing time in professional training.
  
  

• Analysis: The availability of quick earnings from app-based employment may lead individuals to prioritize short-term financial comfort over intellectual development and professional aspirations.
  
  

• Explanation: This shift weakens the cultural value placed on education, perseverance, and creativity. A society where people settle for menial tasks risks losing its drive for innovation and knowledge-based progress. As a result, cultural development stagnates, since fewer individuals contribute to the arts, sciences, or advanced industries.
  
  

Conclusion:

Restate position: Although app-based menial jobs temporarily meet social needs, they are unsustainable.

• Final thought: Societies should focus on creating skilled, innovative opportunities that promote both economic growth and cultural advancement rather than relying excessively on menial jobs.

Economic benefits

• Provide income for low-skilled workers → reduce unemployment.

• Opportunities for small businesses and individuals to do online trade → make the economy more dynamic and diverse.

Cultural benefits

-:Apps like social media help spread local culture to international communities.

-Online platforms support the revival and promotion of traditional crafts and local products.

-Young people have more chances to create content and contribute to cultural diversity.

Agree

+) Menial jobs are usually low in productivity → they cannot generate sustainable and long-term value for the economy.

+) At the same time, such workers can be easily replaced by automation(robot,AI,…), which leads to a surplus of average labor. This situation slows down both economic and social development due to the shortage of highly skilled labor and the limitation of innovation.

+) Ex: ride-hailing drivers (e.g., motorbike taxi apps) can meet social needs, but they do not make contributions to technological innovation or the development of new technologies.

Disagree

+) They create employment opportunities for a large number of low-skilled workers, which helps reduce unemployment.

+) They fulfill the increasing demand for services and thus promote the circulation of goods and diversify the service sector.

+)They can also provide opportunities for low-skilled workers to get familiar with technology and acquire new skills over time.

+) Ex: Many shippers learn how to use apps and manage personal finances, which can later help them move into other jobs (or maybe poor students pay their tuition fees)
