As the societies have become more advanced, lives of people turned get much more
complexed todays nowadays. Especially, it is often said that ordinary people should face
too many moments to choose something endlessly everyday, and I completely agree
with that. Also, I believe that this uncomfortable situation comes mainly from
the two factors: capitalism and advanced technologies.
Capitalism needs endless consumption. In this system, in order to make
consumers to buy something, sellers should create new products and services
forever. In addition, basically there are too many sellers to compete in their
markets, so the sellers always bring out something new and different from other competitors sellers, because they believe this difference would attract more consumers.
Therefore, we, the ordinary people, are forced to choose too many things, even
though we don't they do not (일인칭 사용은 불가피한 경우가 아닌 이상 자제해주세요~) need new products and services actually. As I mentioned, we people are
living in a such a economy system in which choices and consumption are very
necessary.
Technology is the other important factor. Especially, the rapid changes
of technologies in communication and transportation makes society more complex
and full of choices. For example, just 50 years ago, most of people could not
travel other continents easily, so they could only choose from should choose only some domestic resorts
for their holidays. However, nowadays todays, we can go literally everywhere in the
world if we want to go to by jet planes, also using the Internet, we can gather
much of information about the destination at home. (여기도 1인칭을 대체해주시면 되겠습니다.)
In conclusion, thanks to todays's current technologies and the economy system,
apparently, we have too many options, compared to the past. However, it is an
important question that many choices are always good to people in this complex
modern world. |
