　　It is suggested that all the young adults should undertake a period of
unpaid work helping people in the community. Does it bring more benefits or
drawbacks to the community and the young people?
        　　It can be argued that the advantages of doing unpaid community service are
enormous. Indeed, when an old person feels sick, the volunteers could offer
first aid before the doctor or the ambulance arrives. Likewise, if a disabled
person has difficulty doing some daily activities such as shopping, the
assistance from young volunteers is indispensable. Moreover, as far as the young
people are concerned, they could develop the sense of responsibility,
independence as well as interpersonal skills in the process of helping others in
the neighborhood. In this way, people may live in harmony in the community.
        　　Nevertheless, the downsides of volunteer community service are worth
mentioning. In fact, in the city likeShanghai, an increasing number of graduates
find it harder to make a living on their own. Thus, if all of the young adults
are required to do full-time unpaid job in a fixed period, some of them would
have no income source, which is unrealistic to these youngsters. In addition, it
is believed that community service could possibly take up their time of
acquiring knowledge.
