QUESTION 14 - Three-day weekend

A three-day weekend provides more leisure time, reduces commuting and energy consumption. Although it would mean that essential services are closed on that additional day and working days would generally be longer to fit the usual five-day workload into four. Australia should implement a three-day weekend. Do you agree or disagree? Argue your point.

Longer weekends

by Paxton

3 day weekends are something that should be inforced due to the sheer amount of people not being ready at the start of a working week and just more convinient for all in the long run.

Weekends is surely the best time of the week for all workers and students after a gruelling 5 days at work in some way or another. An extra day to kick back and relax will not only just help everyone be more ready for the start of a week but it will help people be more focused in their workplace wether it be remembering a formula or finishing a hard project that you've been working on. Concentration is very important to learning as without it we would merely be just letting information pass through our heads without even thinking properly, longer breaks will give our brains more rest time so that it is fresh and better for learning. Another bonus to longer weekends is that schools and workplaces don't have to consume as much energy as a regular day would require, this will save money for all companies to spend in better areas such as technology and security.

There are more benifiets for everyone then there are negatives, some people though may argue that less working days means that businesses don't make as much money due to not opening but if they instead worked a bit longer on all other working days they will still make back the money lost from not opening on a day. Weekends to rest for employers would be good as they can then have quality time after working for such long periods of time and students have time to finish any uncompleted work.

Weekends are something everyone cherishes and I reckon that most people would enjoy having an extra day to finish their errands. Work is something no one enjoys but must do it for a purpose for exaple to provide for their family or need to go to school so they can have a career in the future. Weekends that last 3 days will take off stress and anxiety from everyone.

3 day weekends will help everyone be more ready for work, more time to do important assignments and most importantly more leisure time so we can enjoy oursleves. Quote "work hard, play hard" I believe this quote perfectly sums up that we should work but also have time to relax and this can be achieved by having 3 day weekends.
