It's the peak recruitment season again.
There's a topic that's been going on lately
Educational discrimination.
The prevalence of academic qualifications has made this kind of news commonplace.
Someone spent 3 years studying for a 985 master's degree, only to be rejected because of a double non-bachelor's degree.
There are also people who can't even complete the interview because of the double non-bachelor's degree.
So much so that many people laughed at themselvesFirst, academic discrimination is like leaving a criminal record
There are too many similar news, and Uncle Yu is also bored when he sees it.
This is not only a problem faced by countless job seekers, but also a common problem in today's society.
If we do not find a solution, I am afraid that the consequences in the long run will not be optimistic.
It just so happens that a recent new film tells a similar story:
How a group of people who are discriminated against by academic qualifications find their way out.
After watching the movie, it also gave me new ideas.
Today, I will use this movie to talk to you about this.
"Rowing Boy".
the boys in the boat
This film is quite powerful.
The director is the top male god in Hollywood
George Clooney
When he was young, he was suave, and now the male god is not old.
Filming as a director also adds a lot of highlights to the movie.
starring, is a group of young actors.
per capitaGood looks, good figure
At a glance, the male ** came to his face.
However, the young men in the movie are not rich and handsome.
On the contrary, they all areYoung people with no academic qualifications, no background, and no savings
Male leadJoe, is the representative of this group of people.
As a college student, the most worrying thing every day is the settlement of tuition fees.
If you can't turn it in, you won't be able to continue your lessons.
He couldn't afford to live in a student dormitory.
The accommodation was just a broken car.
Often can't afford to eat.
When I walked to the cafeteria, I found myself overstretched, so I had to turn around and go out.
Only one pair of broken shoes.
The sole of the shoe has been worn out with a big hole, and there is still no money to replace it.
Changing his life by learning may have been Joe's goal at the time.
However, he faced the crisis of interrupting his studies because of financial problems.
He was told by the school to pay his tuition within 2 weeks.
Otherwise, you can only leave the school.
In desperation, he had to look around for part-time jobs.
Originally, I relied on my youth and strength to be a college student, and I thought that I would find a job easily.
But I never expected that when I really found it, I hit a wall everywhere.
Poor background and ordinary school made him hit a wall everywhere.
There is no way out outside the school, and there is no way out on campus.
The signs dedicated to job recruitment information have long been out of spare work.
Even the nanny position has been filled early.
Obviously,The lower the educational background, the more serious the involution.
In desperation, he meets another friend who is sympatheticRoger
At the invitation of the other party, the two went together to participate in the school rowing team selection.
There is no other reason, it is all based on one sentence-
There is money to be made, and there is also a dormitory.
When he got there, Joe found that there were too many applicants.
We all come from similar backgrounds, and we don't necessarily know anything about rowing.
However, they all came for similar reasons.
Becoming a full-fledged varsity rowing team member is not an easy task.
Joe has been lonely since he was a child, and his life is hard, and he is all on his own.
At present, in order to keep his study opportunities, joining the rowing team has become his only choice.
However, the whole selection process was much more arduous than expected.
First of all,Low selection rate
Dozens of people signed up, and in the end, only 8 people were selected.
This pass rate alone makes people feel very bottomless.
Secondly,Training is tough
There is much difference in physical fitness between ordinary people and professional athletes.
Therefore, they have to go through all kinds of demonic training, and it is not uncommon for them to be exhausted all day.
After officially entering the water, everyone has to practice as hard as they can.
Anyone who thinks of taking a break will be given a beating.
The director used a lot of close-ups of body and muscles to show us the changes in these young people.
It is more and more beautiful to the naked eye, and it also makes people feel full of blood.
Compared to others, Joe worked harder.
Because in addition to training, he also has to juggle his studies.
I often come to class with a sore body, and then sleep sleepily during class.
Fortunately, these hardships were not in vain.
Joe was selected to become a member of the rowing team.
But soon, he discovered that the discrimination he had encountered in the past based on identity and education still existed.
The first game was against the Ivy.
At that time, there were many people who sang about their school's rowing team.
Not only because of the difference in physical fitness and team strength, but also because of the difference in the school's reputation and status.
The most ridiculous thing is that even school leaders acquiesce in such discrimination.
In later competitions, only the rowing team was asked to keep up with their opponents.
It's good to finish second. 」
Even if you win, the cheers are only temporary.
Many people think that winning is just a fluke, and they are not optimistic about their future.
When the coach wanted to make the new team sprint for the Olympics, there was almost ridicule.
There are constant external doubts, and there are many hidden dangers inside.
Problems such as injuries, technical errors, coordination errors, and on-the-spot illness occurred one after another.
A series of unexpected circumstances also cast a shadow over the subsequent game.
No one can afford this nameless team.
And the way these young people deal with it is very pure.
Let others gossip and go all out.
The only thing that can be done is to keep working hard and achieve better results.
The ultimate goal is to reach the Olympics and win the gold medal by beating the host country's strongest rowing team.
The Rowing Boy is more than just a purely athletic inspirational film.
The background of the story in 1936 makes the whole story more interesting.
The protagonist group with a mediocre background counterattacked all the way.
In the end, they met the host country Germany at the Olympics.
What they wanted to challenge was not only the world's stereotypes of origin, but also the theories of racial superiority that were constantly promoted under Nazi rule.
In fact, the U.S. team was not favored before the game.
Whether it is the historical record or the advantage of the hosts, the German team is superior.
But in the end, the U.S. narrowly defeated Germany and snatched an Olympic gold medal from the hosts.
And this unexpected victory is precisely because of the selection of talents who do not look at their background.
Let a few little-known young men achieve a historical legend.
Of course, in addition to the special historical background, the topic of academic discrimination discussed in the story can be more empathetic to people today.
Even after nearly 90 years, similar problems have persisted.
In fact, in past film and television works, there has been a widespread topic of academic discrimination.
For example, "More than Endless".
Han Dong, played by Bai Ke, is a "three-no" youth.
No money, no education, no background.
Although he has journalistic ideals and has written a lot of news reports, he is still looked down upon by many HRs in the recruitment market.
Another example is "Sanyue Has a New Job".
Sanyue, born in 95, reflects the plight of many young people at present.
Ordinary school, unpopular major, unemployed after graduation.
No one wants it in society, and it is disliked at home.
At the age of his early twenties, he has a feeling that he is about to enter the ground.
Although the stories often go in different directions, the problems are all similar.
On the one hand, this reflects the structural contradictions of the entire job market.
The number of job seekers is increasing year by year, but the number of jobs is not increasing.
Like every year for the last decade or soThe hardest season in history
On the other hand, it is the profit-seeking nature of the enterprise itself.
From the perspective of enterprises, screening job seekers through academic qualifications is one of the important means to reduce recruitment costs.
Last year, a recruitment platform made intuitive statistics.
In the past three years, the demand for master's and doctoral degrees has continued to grow, and the demand for fresh graduates with junior college and unlimited academic qualifications has decreased significantly.
To put it bluntly, it isThe threshold for fresh graduates is getting higher and higher
Seeing such a change, Uncle Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's just too tough for job seekers right now.
However, sighs and words alone are a drop in the bucket to solve this social problem.
To truly solve the problem, it may require change at a broader level.
But that doesn't mean that we ordinary people just have to sit back and wait.
In my opinion, the characters in those film and television works are worth learning from.
In "Rowing Boy", everyone has worked hard to become Olympic champions from rowing novices.
Han Dong of "More than Endless", sticks to his ideals and makes himself shine.
Sanyue has a new job", and Sanyue has found value in the work he once disliked.
In them, we can see our own shadow.
or the education is not high, or the background is not good, or the strength is insufficient.
But what they all have in common is that they are determined to go on.
Since you can't change the environment, you can find a way out for yourself on your own.
