24. The younger generation at present
helps others more than those from the past generation. A/DA
Some
people think that the young generation at present help others more than those
from the past generation. However, in my opinion, the young generation at
present help others less. This is because they do not have enough time and
money for helping others.
To
begin with, these days people do not have enough time for helping others and even
taking care of themselves. To be specific, young people have a lot of things which
they have to do like studying, getting a job or earning money. They are too
busy focusing on their own life. So, they cannot think about other’s life. For
example, many of my friends think helping other people is for people who are
rich or have a lot of free time, and that is not their concern because helping
other people is not in their priorities. Their priorities are filled with their
future and themselves. They think there is no space for others. This shows
directly that young people cannot focus on others and helping them.
On
top of that, the younger generation does not have enough money for helping
others. In fact, we have more money than before, but also the price of a lot of
things is also increased. In detail, we should buy more expensive houses and
more expensive cars and we pay more expensive our university fees and so on compared
to the past. For example, my father always talks that in the past, he and his
friend can pay their university fee by money which he earned during summer
vacation, but now, their next generation’s university fee is almost two times their
salary for a month. Consequently, they could not look around these days. They
just focus on their family. For them, themselves and their family is more
important to them than others’ lives. From my father’s story, I can recognize
that compared to the past, our generation is sometimes not enough in order to
help others.
To
sum up, because the young generation does not have enough time and money, it is
hard to help others. In this regard, I believe that the young generation in the
present helps other people less.
