Some people think that the
modern world is becoming more and more dependent on each other, but other claim
that people is becoming more independent on each other. Discuss and give your
own opinion
Dependent
- financial crisis affects the world
- suffer more pressure and need connection
- high rate of marriage even in developed countries
- the prevalence of contacting tools to be connected with each
other
Independent
- economically independent
- avoid personal conflicts
- try to gain political and economic autonomy
Whether humans become more or less dependent in the modern world
remains controversial. Some people think that as result of higher living standards, people can live
more independently while others claim that the pressure of modern life forces people to be closer to
each other to avoid stress. My essay will discuss both sides of the
issue
There are some reasons for
people to believe in growing independence of the modern world. First, it is argued that with better education,
people can find jobs easily and earn enough living. Hence, they tend to live
far away from their families and settle in other places to search for new opportunities. Second, as a result of wanting to avoid personal
conflicts, people desire to have freedom of their own. The interference of
other people from beloved members of family to neighbors can distract their
work and complicate their lives. That is
why the common knowledge is that neighbors in big
cities often have little idea about each others' name and personal lives. At a
macro-level, even nations which ever economically and politically depended on
others have tried their best over the years to gain autonomy by all means like Singapore
away from British control and Thailand from American domination. In other
words, the sense of independence is more desirable for citizens and countries.
Nevertheless, others argue
that actually people become more dependent without their acknowledgement. As a consequence of suffering the sense
of overload and pressure in the modern life, a greater number of people feel
tired, actually take part in more social activities and expect to regain a
sense of belonging. More socializing and support clubs are established in big
cities to connect people and give them solace. Furthermore, surveys have shown that despite
people's longing for personal freedom, the number of marriages remains still
high even in developed countries, which shows that people somehow prefer
couples' life to single one.
In a bigger scale, the financial crisis in America happened, followed by
the collapse of other economies. This proves that countries, although being
economically and political strong, still depend on each other. Technologically speaking,
the prevalence of face-book and cutting edge mobile phones is evident of the
fact that the need for contact never ceases and escalates amazingly in the
modern world. People still rely on each other for emotional support and
economic opportunities as well.
In brief, it is up to people to choose the lifestyle they want,
but the truth is that we sometimes look for an escape to enjoy true freedom and
at the same time want to belong somewhere to perceive our presence
