Five kinds of workers

- E. F. Row and P. C. Wren

     

       In the essay, Row and Wren have explained the importance and meaning of 'Five' kinds of workers. There is a step by step description of each kind of workers.

Here I have described the five kinds of workers:

1. Growing things - Growers

       In this kind of workers, the writer has included cultivators, shepherds, and gardeners. All these are connected with lands. They are busy with land in growing the things. They plough, dig, and sow the seeds and also take care of animals, as the writer says

"without them there would be no wheat to make into flour, no hay to feed horse on, no rice and dal, no bajri no jawari, no vegetables, no tea to drink, no milk and ghee, and no cotton for our cloths"

       Generally people do not consider farmers as 'growers' but the helps plant and animals to grow and then help them to provide things that humans need.

2. Digging things - Diggers:

 

        There is another group of people who are bust with soil but they do not spend their time in growing the things, but in digging the things. They are the,

"miners - who dig out the coal and iron, and precious stones, gold silver, tin, copper, lead, mica, and other minerals"

        The quarrymen are also the part of diggers who dig out stones for buildings and roads. Others dig up clay to make bricks and earthenware.

3. Making things - makers:

 

       This kind of workers cannot do their work until the other two sets of worker have done theirs. Things must be grown or dig up before anything can be made out of it. These workers need grown things such as wood, cotton, and linen and things that have been dug up like iron, copper and tin. This kind of workers needs the first two kinds to provide them with materials before they can begin to work.

4. Moving things - movers:

 

      The things we need cannot come to us by themselves, and it is awkward if you had to fetch them all. Things have to be brought from the place where they are made, grown, or dug up, to the place where they are wanted. There are many workers who move the things.

"Sailors and railwaymen and cart drivers and motor drivers and so on"

5. Helpers:

 

    

  There are some workers who do not grow the things, dig the things, make the things and move the things but though they are workers. And those workers are,

"Teachers, and the doctor and dentist, and policemen and soldiers, lawyers and priests"

       Without all these workers we cannot live our life, because they do the things for us which we cannot do for our self. They help us when we need them.

       Further Row and Wren explained that there are also other kinds of writers including shop keeper who do not move things but though we can include them in movers. Further there is a statement that

"The labourer is worthy of his hire"

which is very true and acceptable. The writer also ask questions that

"Why there are so many kinds of workers?

Why does not man make the things he wants for himself?"

         Further there is an explanation that if a man is doing the same work for many days, he can achieve mastery in that work. This is the reason of the divisions of different works among all people. This plan is called "division of labour".
