antiquity

The Latin term ancient arrived in Castilian as antiquity. The concept make reference to condition or property of old: that took place in a past and distant time or that belongs to it.

The notion can be used to name said weather preterite. For example: "In ancient times, people used to gather around the radio to hear the story of the most important sporting events", "Those things happened in ancient times, now it's different", "I do not understand how in ancient times they could live without telephones or Internet".

The story denominates Old age to the time when the first civilizations arose and developed. Conventionally, the invention of writing is used as a point of reference for studying the beginning of ancient history.

It is known by the name of classical antiquity to the Greco-Roman period belonging to the Ancient Age, which lasted a long time and is located between high and low antiquity. More specifically, it is about the time when ancient Rome and ancient Greece carried out the development of the civilization Greco-Roman, also known as the greco-roman world.

The objects whose value lies in the passage of time are also called antiques: "Every Sunday an antique fair is organized in the downtown square", "For my birthday, my mother gave me a beautiful Chinese antique that I have placed in my living room", "I have several antiques to sell".

The importance of this type of antiques lies in the fact that they are elements that characterize a past period and that are no longer used today. The typewriters can be considered as antiques because the computers (computers) have replaced them.

It is difficult to describe the sensations that an antiquity can awaken in people who are more sensitive to the passage of time and the development of the culture. An object created centuries, or even decades ago, can be an incomparable find for a researcher to the point of changing his life. However, this itself can be absolutely useless in the eyes of another individual.

The value of an antiquity is therefore relative to the observer. In the field of academic music, for example, there are those who dedicate much of their time to searching for works that have remained in the I forget. Every time they come across a centuries-old score that has been in obscurity for centuries, they experience unsurpassed joy; For a person who cannot read music, this may be nothing more than a foreign book that they will never read and that they might sell for a few coins at a flea market.

The number of months or years what a person you have been in a job or in a position is also known as seniority: "I had been with the company for 25 years when they fired me for a restructuring", "When you are one year old, you will be able to choose which shift you prefer to work on", "I do not think it is healthy for a mayor to have been in office for more than a decade".

In the same way that objects called antiques are often invaluable to certain people, the longer we stay in a stall job more important we become to the employer. Seniority in a company is a determining variable in matters such as salary, vacations and special leave.

It should be noted that seniority in a job can become an obstacle if the employee begins to demand certain privileges that the company is not willing to give you, either because it does not consider them reasonable or because it does not have the necessary resources. In these cases, it is not uncommon for the situation to end in dismissal for unclear reasons, as a result of a silent plot by the employer to get the worker to make an unforgivable mistake.
