Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
-----------------------------------
Some say that people have too many options today, however, I do not agree with that idea, and here are some reasons why I think so.
Most of all, for human beings, the activities to choose something are inevitable, and when it come to their frequency, I believe there have not been a significant increase compared to the past. Human life cycles have been pretty much similar regardless of times and places in the human history. For example, people have to choose where to live, what to do for a living, who to live with. In addition in real lives, they need to decide what to eat, buy, and possess, and there is no evidence of an increased chance of choices, therefore, it is hard to say people have too many options now than the past.
Moreover, choices rather decreased nowadays from the sociological point of view. After the Industrial Revolution, most goods and services have been produced based on industrial standards. Consequently, they are so identical, that people do not have a wide range of selections. Also, modern societies have become standardized in life style and culture, they are similar all around the world. Therefore, more people live very similar lives, and they tend to just follow other people's choices instead of making their own selections.
In conclusion, the frequency of choices have not increased compared to the past, and due to the standardized of society, the chance to select something have rather decreased. Therefore, I believe it is not pursuasive that there are too many choices nowadays.
선생님 말씀대로, 자주 틀리는 단어들은 따로 단어장을 만들어서 주기적으로 '타이핑' 연습하고 있습니다. ㅠㅠ
또 말씀대로, 이제부터는 모범답안이 있는 세트들을 해보면서, 제 것과 비교하고 있는데요.
이번 논제에 대한 모법답안을 보면 이렇습니다.
서론 - 완전히 동의, 두 가지 중요한 이유가 있다.
본론1 - 인터넷 기술발달이 많은 선택을 만들었다. 예를 들면 수많은 티비 채널
본론2- 글로벌라이제이션이 너무 많은 선택의 문제를 가중시키다. 예를 들면 해외여행
결론 - 따라서 현대인은 많은 선택에 직면하고 있고, 오히려 역기능적이다...
그런데, 논제는 원인을 묻지 않았는데, 모범답안처럼 원인을 쓰는 것이 맞는 것인지 의문이 듭니다. 원인으로 글을 쓰면 훨씬 쉽겠지만, 저는 그러면 안 될 것 같아서 그 논제 자체에 대해서만 의견을 쓰려고 노력했습니다. 그러다 보니 구체적인 게 없어 쓰기 더 어려웠습니다. 이런 문제는 어떻게 접근하는 것이 좋을까요?
