                                Compte-rendu

        The “The employees shut inside coffins” document is a BBC News article,

written by Stephen Evans, in Seoul on December 14, 2015. In this text the author discusses the level of stress of South Korean workers faced with their workload, as well as opinions on the methods to reduce stress used by certain business. He also explains to us how the exams that young South Koreans must pass.

        First of all, in South Korea, employees are very stressed about their work and their high number of hours of daily work compare to the manager of these companies who arrive at the times they want and leave in the same way. This stress causes a lot of suicide this that has upped the country to one of the highest suicide levels in the world.

We then learn that there is a company that has created a concept, consisting in staging its own burial so that they regain a taste for life, going through stages psychological. First of all, the company shows them videos of people with disabilities. in life or seriously ill person, and then they put them in a coffin closed by a person representing the Angel of Death, to make them reflect on life.

Certain employees are therefore tested and given their feelings, an employee said that this

experience made him take control of his life at work and with that family.

The Park Chun-woong company has an exercise every morning where they meet in a circle and

are stretching, according to an employee getting into a gender position in front of everyone

world made them laugh, which relaxed them before work.

Secondly, the author talks about examinations of young South Koreans to determine whether

was attending a good university which are very intense because the family is very involved in it. The mothers and grandmothers going to pray every day several times a day for them. The police could even go get them if he couldn't get there.

        To conclude, the author tells us that these methods are not necessarily the right ones to reduce the stress of workers, it did not force laughter that improves employee mental health, it did

not by doing exams as intense as the stress will decrease because the students are already

stress at school while at work the stress will be the same.
