▶ Your Answer : Some people think that today's life is simpler and more comfortable than life in the past when old generation people were kids, while others believe that life nowadays is not easy and more difficult for children than it was. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that today's society is harder and more complicated than the past when my grandparents were children. There are reasons and examples as follows.
To begin with, this society is too tough to live easy and comfortable. This is mainly because we today have to be competitive so that we are able to survive in this materialistic world. If we want to succeed in our lives and achieve goals, we need to get a good diploma or do well in school and prepare diverse certification as much as we can have. As the society goes higly fierce, we cannot live this world easy and comfortable. For example, My uncle, a police officer, told me that when he prepared to become a police officer, the goverment did not required the applicants for many credentials such as intense power, high score of the test and so forth. If they reached their test score some extent and they have passion and obligation, they can become a police officer. However, nowadays many of my friends who study to become a police officer need many requirements ranging from considerably high scores of a number of test to their good physical capacity and logical interview. For these reasons, most applicants are struggling with their studies by studying up all night, increasing their strength for long time. In this sense, Children in the past were much easier to live their lives than it is.
On top of that, unemployment today continue to increase. According to recent studies, today's unemployment rate increased about twenty percent in comparison with the half century ago. Some students nowadays even do not focus on their studies but start to find jobs as well as part-time jobs. This situation makes our lives, especially young children more difficult and exhausting. For instance, when I was a senior in high school, there was a new kind of class for students who want to learn about professional subjects for work not academic subjects. The students in the class seldom studied in the classroom and went out to other places ranging from air port and hair shops that was related to their field. Many of students wanted to take the class even though it would not be easy and comfortable life since they already realized this world would be hard to get a job in the near future. In this sense, life these days is much tough for kids to live compared to kids in the past.
All things considered, I strongly believe that this society is not easy and comfortable lives to us. The reason is that we need to compete each other for our success and find job as soon as possible due to worse employment rates unlike the past. |
