Ascent implies a movement upward.
The notion of ascent has its etymological origin in the Latin word ascensus . The concept is used with reference to the act of ascending : that is, of going up (moving upwards).
For example: "The climb to this mountain is very complicated" , "Thanks to my new car, I was able to climb the hill in less than five minutes" , "You have to use two different elevators to complete the climb to the terrace of this mountain." skyscraper .
Promotion in the workplace
In the work context, the promotion of a worker to a more important and better-paid position is called promotion. Suppose a young man works as a sales representative for a company . Due to his good performance and due to the retirement of another employee, the owner of the company decides to give him a promotion and thus makes him the sales manager of the firm. The boy, thanks to this change, begins to receive a higher salary , although he also begins to have more responsibilities.
The fear of this increase in responsibility leads many workers to settle for their jobs, instead of aspiring for a promotion within their company. On the other hand, the path to getting a better position is usually arduous, both because of the effort involved in doing your best to perform tasks and because of the time it may take to get the attention of superiors in the expected way.
Generally, when we start working in a very low position , the first promotions are not as promising, and many times they lead us to situations that could be considered worse than the previous ones. The great goal is far away and only the most persistent and persevering can aspire to achieve it, as is the case in almost all aspects of life.
When going up, an ascent is made.
Changes in social hierarchy
The idea of economic or social advancement , on the other hand, is linked to a symbolic movement in the structure of a society . People who make up the lower class can rise to the middle class if they obtain the necessary income to live in decent conditions and access better services.
Unfortunately, moving up the social hierarchy is not as simple as getting more money and moving to a fancier neighborhood. Discrimination against those who break down the barrier of poverty and begin to integrate into a more developed sector is usually very marked, and this prevents an absolute merger.
Economic rise
For the field of economics, the concept of rise is also called boom , and it is the phase of the cycle in which all activity goes through a moment of peak and prosperity. In this way, rise is defined as the opposite of depression, which brings decline.
It is important to note that the duration of the economic rise is not always the same, and in fact can vary considerably: depending on the conditions of the economy at a given time, it can extend over many years or simply span a few months.
When production stagnates, the crisis arrives once again and this gives rise to the beginning of a new economic cycle. It is the critical point of the recovery stage, since it determines the moment in which the growth of the economy is interrupted, something that can happen as a result of two well-defined factors: having reached full employment from the previous stage; due to the presence of rigidity.
The concept in sport
In the field of sport , finally, promotion means that a team manages to access a higher category than the one in which it was competing.
A football club that becomes champion of the Second Division , to name one possibility, is promoted to the First Division .
