▶ Your Answer :
There is a lot of books sold which assert people should be content with what they have, and the authors are telling that people are capable of being satisfied with what they have. I strongly belive that some people might be able to be satisfied with their current belongings, but most of them are not. The situations that media industries record enormous revenues by selling contents which include celebrities personal lives and people commit themselves to the crimes represent the fact.
First of all, people have committed themselves to crime since the onset of human history such as waging wars, murder and steal. That tells us people can not be satisfied with their possesions. If all people can be satisfied with their belongings, their is no money realted crimes. It is evident, however, people can witness everyday cruel crimes such as buglary. There is an accident that a man killed his parents to get a huge amount of money from an insuarance company. That means not only people can not be satisfied, but they also can be the salves of their lust.
Second, the media industry records an unprecedented revenue since public's interest towards celebrities has been increasing. The biggest reason why people are intersted in celebrities' persnal lives is that they are not satisfied with themselves. By reading articles dealing with celebrities' lives, people try to satisfy their desire to be rich and famous like their super stars. If people are capable of being satisfied with themselves, there is no reason for them to be intersted in celebrities' personal lives, consquently, the media industry might tend to concentrate on reading articles related other fields than entertainments since they write about what people are intersted in.
To sum up, people can not be satisfied with their money, appearance and the quality of their lives. This fact is directly reflected in the current situations that people are making crimes to get money to fulfill their needs and desire, and at the same time, famous people are suffer from public's interst towards them. In this regard, I agree with the view people are incapable of being satisfied with what they have. If they can be satisfied with themselves, we do not need to witness depressing events everyday on TV. |
