▶ Your Answer : There has been an argument regarding the issue that most people prefer to make decision for them rather than to make their own. There are plenty of people who insist that even though decision making is burdensome, most people likely to make a their own decision because it directly affect their life. However, from my perspective, people are more likely to follow to other people's decision, It is either because the world has become more and more complex, or because people do not want to take a responsibility.
First of all, due to the complexity of modern world, it is harder for people to make a decision. To be more specific, in the early days of society, people should focus on deciding the basic way of lifestyle such as what to eat or how to sleep, instead of modern day's complex matters. Today, however, making decision comes with many more problems which are closely related to many matters, hence, in order to make a right decision, people need more time to consider, and greater details of knowledge. To demonstrate, my grandfather always talked to me that in the early days, he easily made a certain decision such as where they live, or what kinds of business he would do. However, in these days, he always ask me and my father every matters, it is because many problems he facing are so complex and difficult to solve by his own faculties.
Secondly, people are likely to avoid the responsibility. In order to provide more specific details, usually when people got into trouble, they are more willing to request their right rather than their responsibility. This is because human beings are often succumbed to immediate temptation and try to evade certain risk when they assume the responsibility. For example, a research conducted by Korea University insists that the proportion of people who do not want to take a responsibility is over 85 percent, on the contrary, the proportion of people who like to take a responsibility is less than 15 percent. This is said to be the reason why people indisposed to assume the responsibility.
To sum up, I strongly agree the reading passage's assertion that people make decisions for them rather than to make their own decisions. This is because it is harder for people to make a decision and people are likely to avoid the responsibility. | |
