Why are so many people opposed to involution now?

Involution means great competition. As a social phenomenon, it is a double-edged sword. The pros and cons are as follows:

1. Pros

1. Involution can cultivate the competitive consciousness of our college students and objectively promote students' independent learning and hard study.

2. Involution is conducive to cultivating the spirit of hard work in our college students and allowing students to establish an evolutionary awareness of "survival of the fittest by natural selection".

3. Involution can improve the academic level of the entire college student group. Because when everyone in the group is competing and working hard, the group must be very high-level.

4. Involution can develop the potential of college students as much as possible. Without involution, no one would spend more time learning, improving, and being content with the status quo. With involution, college students themselves have the motivation to continue and continue learning.

2. Disadvantages

1. Involution is generally used to describe excessive competition in a certain field, causing people to enter a state of mutual strife and internal friction. Broadly speaking, involution is consumption without substantial meaning.

2. We need to distinguish between the three concepts of involution, effort, and competition: Effort is different from involution, and its efforts and benefits are positively related. Competition is the effort between individuals or groups to surpass or overwhelm. The other party’s psychological needs and behavioral activities. In terms of employment, involution is reflected in the fact that job seekers have to spend more unnecessary costs to compete for limited positions, which is excessive competition through ineffective efforts.

3. The impact of involution on employment is mainly divided into three aspects: the impact on job seekers, the impact on employers and their representative interest groups, and the impact on the job market atmosphere.

First, involution brings more burdens to job seekers, forcing them to make ineffective efforts for limited positions, resulting in unnecessary psychological and physical consumption of job seekers, and a huge amount of consumption. Corresponding benefits cannot be obtained. For example, a group of people compete for several chef positions, and involution occurs.

When some of them developed advanced chef syndrome, in order to gain an advantage in the competition, they took nutritionist certificates at all levels and even took the IELTS and TOEFL exams. In this example, these people do not actually need any certificates other than the chef certificate, but they still pay various costs to obtain the certificate for this position, which is a typical internal friction.

Second, for employers and the interest groups they represent, under the involution, the comprehensive abilities of the people they hire seem to be stronger, but in fact what they need is still only the position-related abilities. Employees Their other capabilities do not create value for them.

Thirdly, regarding the atmosphere of the job market, the sense of oppression that involution brings to people, on the one hand, makes some people have to join in the involution environment; The trend of the times and the dilemma of self-internal consumption and self-abandonment have also caused young people who are about to enter society to have negative emotions about employment, which is even more detrimental to future development.

Among these three aspects of impact, only the employed seem to gain something: more skills, more subtle knowledge reserves, etc. Their comprehensive ability may become stronger, and they may have more talents in the future. Career options.

But we have to consider people’s will. First of all, people may not like these things obtained through involution. The process of involution will actually kill people’s passion. Secondly, they may not really master them. Yes, it may not be needed in the end.
