Undoubtedly,
university’s investments play a significant role in people’s daily lives in
many places where they work or play. Some people think that university should
spend more money supporting social activities rather than improving the canteen
food while others do not. Both sides may have own reasons to support their views.
If I were asked to choose one, I would say that people benefit more from supporting
social activities. There are several reasons as follows.
To begin
with, when university spend money supporting social activities such as volunteering
activities, it can help their students increase their overall happiness. Working
and volunteering gives them more chance to experience something difference from
what they would do in their usual routine and thus they can feel rewarded and
fulfilling. A fulfilling experience tends to prevent their lives from being meaningless.
For example, when my sister was in university, she often felt depressed thinking
that her life became an exhausting routine. To survive in a competitive world,
she spent the whole day studying all academic subjects, hoping that she would outdo
others. Although she made constant effort, it was not easy because everyone was
working as hard as she was. Also, it was difficult to make friends since all of
them seemed to busy and indifference to others, treating each other as rivals.
Fortunately, she was able to make her life more meaningful by helping poor
children. One project which was organized by university help poor children with
reading and writing. When she participated in the project, she realized that she
could help others and feel happier by spending her free time helping these
children. Also, these children felt more happier by getting help from her. By
doing this, many people around her started to respect her and allowing to her
be confident, optimistic, and strong. Without the project that was organized by
university, she would not have been able to escape from her meaningless life.
In brief,
I strongly believe that the advantages of supporting social activities by
university far outweigh developing canteen food for the reasons I have mentioned
above. All in all, the importance of investing social activities cannot be
overestimated in life. |
