▶ Your Answer :
It is of great worth to discuss whether or not students are more
interested in politics than they were in the past. The answer to this question
can greatly vary depending on individual perspectives: while a sizable
percentage of people agree with the above contention, others strongly disagree
with it. As far as I am concerned, I disagree with the given statement because
of individualism and stress.
First of all, competition justifies indifference in politics. Modern
people are under pressure that they have to beat their rivals to survive this
dog-eat-dog world. Therefore, people become more individualistic, and they have
little time and energy to pay attention to the matters outside their own benefits,
and thus, being concentrate on politics is less and less important.
The prime example of this is my classmates Young-Hee. When she
prepared for school assignment which was presentation, she was struggle with
making powerpoint. One day, her school assignment deadline was same as election,
but she did know it but hesitant to elect because she thought participated in
election was just time-wasting activity. Although she already recognized the
day of election, she was do her own private duty. However, nobody told her that
she was selfish or something bad word. Most of the people already understood
her because nowadays modern students are busy with their academic matters. This
indicates today’s steep competition rationalizes being unconscious about
politics.
In addition, unconditional interests in politics can contribute to
creating stress, which is one of the main causes of physical and mental
illnesses. This is mainly because if they have to considerate to politics even
when they were busy, this would make them irritated or worried about their
unfinished work. Nowadays, students are tied up with hectic schedules and
overwhelmed by enormous tasks at school. Hence, they do not need to be involved
to another struggle.
A recent study has confirmed this. According to HNl, one of the most
renowned medical centers in South Korea, it reported that students in Group A,
who concentrate on their own academic matters during assignment seasons, showed
lower cortisol-a stress hormone-than those in Group B, who had to pay attention
to social activity such as politics and government. The contributing factor to
the difference in the two groups was that anxiety and worry about the
preparation for several homeworks increased this harmful hormone in body.
Interestingly, the researchers found that those who multi-play both
school work and politics often suffered from various diseases because too much
cortisol weakened their immunity. This indicates that mental fitness can be
undermined by being participated in differing activity.
