Some people think that if a country is already rich, further economic development will not result in its citizens being any happier. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Many surveys show that people in poor countries are happier than those in rich countries. However, it does not mean that the poorer the countries are, the happier citizens are. Economic development affects happiness but not always in proportionate to it. I agree that further economic development of a country will not result in its citizens being any happier and this essay will provide the reasons.
First of all, the more
a country develops, the busier the society becomes. The society of rich nations
is much busier and changes faster than that of poor nations. It makes people
stressful and feel pressure. Also, they have to compete with their colleagues
to survive. On the other hand, people in poorer nations live in an uncomfortable environment compared to rather than rich nations but they do not need to struggle with the worry of getting fired at work to lose their jobs at
company. Thus, economic development can make citizens happy to some degree but
further development might make them unhappy, letting them busy and struggle to
live.
Also, if people feel relaxed to live following by economic development, they start to save money and want to buy a good car and a luxury house. Many people want to be rich and compare with other people who have luxury items. It makes citizens compare (바로 앞에 쓰였으니까 가급적이면 대체해주세요!) with others and feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, in poor countries, it is hard for citizens to save enough money to buy luxury items so they do not need to struggle to show off their wealth.
In conclusion, people can
live comfortably depending on economic development. However, further
development in rich nations where people already have enough money to live
might make people them unhappy and even gloomy.
