What are the positive and negative aspects of the guild organization of artisans?

If we talk about the advantages of the guild organization of artisans: – the guild organization of artisans was created with the aim of combining several crafts and transferring the accumulated experience. – a system of apprenticeship appeared, each student got a chance to become a master. – the workshops set high requirements for materials, only high-quality products were made from here. A huge disadvantage of the shop organization was that the sons of the craftsmen most often became the craftsmen – the ownership of the shop was inherited. From here a new layer of “permanent apprentices” emerged. Another disadvantage is that the strict rules of each workshop did not allow the emergence of innovations and discoveries, therefore, there was no progress.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
