▶ Your Answer : Today, there are various kinds of things to do for entertainment. Some may enjoy their free time watching T.V, and others can spend their time playing outdoor activities. Moreover, Some claims that people today spend too much time focusing on entertaining themselves, given that they do not fulfill their responsibility. However, I do not agree with this idea because people today live In highly competitive society and they do have more responsibility on their shoulder. To begin with, as the society became more and more tight and competitive, people do not have as much of time for entertaining as before. After the world became more advanced and put a lot of emphasis on being richer, smarter, and better than others, starting from the very early on, they constantly try to upgrade themselves. For students, many schools around the world have point system, which determines students performance solely based on what kind of mark a student gets on a certain task. And it is common among students as well as parents to think that their marks on the tests determines their future by going to good university. As a consequence, students not only have to study math and English, but they also have to study a thousand other subjects. They literally do not have enough time for entertainment. Likewise, even after they graduate from university, they have to compete for getting hired from good companies requiring many certificates like English Test. Even after they somehow manage to get hired, they still have to compete for promotion constantly, leaving no time to entertain. This tight society makes people have not enough time to enjoy, but it gives longer time to get ready for the future by working and studying harder. On top of that, People nowadays have more responsibility to conform to than before. Through many incidents in the past, the law became more and more strict that forces people to have many responsibility. For example,in 90s, there were many incidents in which parents abused their kids and many were revealed to outside, because of these incidents, many laws have been passed to force parents fulfill certain responsibility making family matter not solely in family's hands anymore. Thus, people not only have to work harder to support their children financially but also have more responsibility on their shoulder. These strict and more responsible society leaves a little time for people to spend their time for their entertainment. In conclusion, even though the world can be said to have become more comfortable using all kinds of newly developed technology, it is not too far-fetched to say that people today live much tighter lives because they endlessly compete with others and busy with fulfilling a thousand kinds of responsibility. |
