The Etruscans were an ancient European people who ruled northern Italy for centuries before the Roman Empire. Etruscans were skilled farmers as well as traders and seafarers. There has been a long – standing debate about the origin of the Etruscans. Some scholars believe that the Etruscans arrived in Italy from a region of Turkey, located almost a thousand miles to the east. These scholars cite several pieces of evidence to support the Turkish origin of the Etruscans.
First, the scholars cite writings of Herodotus, a famous ancient historian who lived during the time of the Etruscans. According to Herodotus, the Etruscans had come from an ancient kingdom located in western Turkey. When the kingdom experienced eighteen years of famine, part of its people decided to leave and look for a new place to settle. Led by the king’s son, they left Turkey in ships and eventually reached the coast of Italy, where they founded the Etruscan kingdom.
Second, the Etruscan language belongs to a family of related languages called Tyrrhenian. Traces of inscriptions in another Tyrrhenian language have been found on an island that is located near Turkey. Since people speaking related languages often come from the same area, the findings of Tyrrhenian inscriptions near Turkey suggest that Etruscans had originally lived in that region.
Third, the types of cows once bred by Etruscans can still be found in northern Italy today. Genetic analysis of these old Etruscan cow breeds has revealed that they are different from the rest of the cows found in Italy and at the same time closely related to cows traditionally bred in Turkey and surrounding regions. This again suggests that the Etruscans had originally come from Turkey and brought their cows with them.

Today, we’ll be discussing a company’s hiring strategies. When hiring new employees, recruiters usually review resumes to learn about candidates. However, with social media becoming popular, some companies are trying new ways to find out more about candidates. Recruiters view what candidates post on social media. Like Twitter, to see their personality and skills. This helps to see if they match with the company’s culture and job requirements. Do you believe that checking a candidate’s social media is a fair and effective way to evaluate if someone is right for the company? Why or why not?

This approach is fresh and interesting but it has its drawbacks. Some candidates are super active on social media, while others rarely share anything. So, just looking at their online profiles might not give recruiters the whole story of what they’re really like.

I don’t think this is a great idea. What people share on their personal social media might not be related to their professional abilities or work ethics. Things like photos they’ve posted or comments they’ve made don’t really help recruiters judge if they’re suitable for the company.
