I agree with the statement that people now are less happy or less satisfied with their lives than people were in the past. Actually, compared to the past few decades, people are living in the best comfortable world. People who live in modern society can buy anything and live great life than past world. However, we are no longer happy and not satisfied with our lives. People are unhappy.
First of all, because we have to compete with people around us, we are so tired and depressed. For fast development, competition is very effective method especially to the company. In capitalization society, people should compete with their coworkers, other company and other countries. It is also realized in the school. For example, when I was a high school student, there were a great deal of competition among students to go to the good university. At that moment, I competed one of my classmate and she really hated me because I got better score than hers. One day, she stole my books that contained a lot of important things about the exam. Thanks to the CCTV, I could get it back. However, I felt so bad about her and this social system. This competition makes a innocent high school student criminal. Therefore, I think too much competition make this world really stressful and depressed.
Secondly, the weakness of family bond makes people really unhappy. People are social animals and they live with their lovely family. The familiarity of family members plays very important role in our happy lives. However, in this fast changing society, family is breaking rapidly. According to the research of the Seoul University, the divorce rate increased fifty percent compared to the last 1990s. This research shows us that so many couples broke up and so did the family. In the past, only few couples got divorced easily. Increasing divorce rate also means that many children are living in one parent family. In this environment, children can not grow well. This family bankrupting is very important reason why we are unhappy.
In conclusion, we who live in fast changing society are not happy compared to the people who live in the past. Not only competing society, but also family destruction is very important reason |
