Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Because the world is changing so quickly People now are less happy and less satisfied than people in the past. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. People now are happier and more satisfied than people in the past
The world is now developing at an ever-increasing velocity, and people are suffering unprecedented pressure than ever before. Some may argue that the people in modern Society are less happy and less satisfied than people in the past. However, I would rather say that there has been no time in history when we can get pleasure and satisfaction as those of today.
The world’s development brings about numerous ways of brand-new recreations and people may find their genuine entertainment according to their own interest. In the past, there were only few games or recreations available to. True, some of the games are extremely attractive and classic, but they cannot make it to commend themselves to everyone. For example, Peking Opera is of great interest to most of the elderly people in China, but Young people may regard it as boring and uniform In China, watching the spring festival gala may seem to be the most important thing when the elderly celebrate the spring festival, but many youngsters are reluctant to watch it but have no other choices to make themselves happy, the drastic development of technology introduces
computers and the Internet. And the world is now developing into a more diverse one. People may play games with others through cyber space, watch films by virtue of a DVD player, or just surf the Internet for fun.
As is easily seen, we can conclude that, people are now more likely to get satisfied and cheerful. It is the diversity as a consequence of the world’s changes that makes it possible for people to find their true love. However, we cannot deny that we are now under much more pressure, so it is of great value to coordinate the relationship between our happiness and frustrations.
