In our society, there are some basic rules that are set by government and if we don’t follow them, then chaos happens. In general, rules are good if they are made for the common good. I would like to tell you about a rule at the hospital that I don’t like. During my internship at Norama Hospital, on time attendance is mandatory and you should not be late more than 10 minutes. I didn’t like this rule because first of all, the hospital was far away from my house. Sometimes it was difficult to reach there on time because we might stuck in a traffic congestion, especially during rainy days. Another rule that I disagree with was wearing formal clothes and a uniform at work because formal coat was not comfortable for those of us that had to spend a lot of time at work. Some employees agreed with these rules, but I didn’t. I hope employers will change these rules in the future.
