▶ Your Answer :
There is a controversy whether the close
relationship with a pet is good for people or not. I strongly believe that the
relationship with their pets is good because it is mentally helpful and they
can learn social skills by interacting with their pets. The two ideas stated
below can be valid evidence to support my view.
To
begin with, the good relationship between people and their pets has a
beneficial effect on their mental health. To be specific, while playing and
staying with their pet, it can helpful to reduce stress and refresh them. According
to the research carried out by the Seoul National University, interacting with
a pet has a good influence on decrease people’s loneliness and depression. It can
be proved by my personal experience. Last year, I did not have many friends and
normally stayed alone in the weekend because I lived far from my hometown due
to my work. I felt extreme lonely and was depressed. At that time, I requested
the help to the doctor and he recommended me to raise a pet. I adopted one
puppy, her name is Nuri, and because of her, I was able to free from my extreme
loneliness and regained my life. In this regard, the interaction with pets is
good for people’s mental health.
On top
of that, people can learn social skills by interacting with their pets. To be
specific, while people raise their pets, they surely face diverse situations
because a pet behaves by instinct and it can be of help to expand their
understanding and ultimately, is helpful for raising social skills. In my case,
my puppy was very nervous temperament. While I took care of her, I could learn how
to treat other people who became easily angry and were extreme nervous. By virtue
of this experiences, I raised my social skills and it was a good base for me to
be a successful consultant. In addition, according to the research conducted by
the research center of Animal-Human Interaction, those who raise a pet have
less problems in human relationship than those who do not. In this sense,
interacting with pets is good because it is helpful to grow their social
skills.
To
sum up, I strongly believe that the good relationship with pets is benefit for
people’s lives because it is good for their mental health and people can raise
their social skill by interacting with their pets. |
