Progress is always better - agree or disagree |
Through the progress of technology, science, culture and etc, our life qualities are getting better these days. As great results of technology development, telephone and computer emerged out of the world and have already absorbed into our daily lives. Human being came to be able to communicate in voice even if not being together at a same place by telephone and to manage complicate tasks easily in a short time by computer. Despite of these prominent achievements, there are some better points in taking regressive ways than progressive ways. In other words, I am against the statement that progress is always better, emphasizing disagreement of the word used in the sentence, “always.” To begin with, to sincerely express your emotion to others, you can appeal them more effectively in the way of old fashion. Today, most people have their own cell phone, and the functions placed in the cell phones are advancing amazingly on a rapid growth. Due to that, people are accustomed to using them, and it became one of the most popular ways to inform your special feeing to the people around by texting and calling. However, the regressive ways such as writing letter with your own hands or sending something special work better to let your people know well how much your affection are for them. For example, when I had a boyfriend several years ago, I was very impressed and felt such a romantic from letters that he gave much more than from the messages coming through cell phone. Secondly, people are going lazy by progress of a certain industry which makes us too comfortable. Not like the past when there was no machines like elevators, washing machines, cars or remote control devices, now days, people almost can do everything without much amount of movement. We just push some buttons and reach what we want to get. Therefore, an individual’s physical strength living today is declining, and the body gets easily to be fat and unhealthy. To recover that, I believe that it sometimes better to avoid the progressive ways, and we need to take the previous means. For instance, if we step up or down stairs by walking with our own feet instead of stepping to an elevator or an escalator, you can keep nice body shape and grow the strength. While it is evident that progress bring us many benefits and profits in the present days, but it does not always give us the best for those reasons as stated above. Keeping and developing your relationships with others and healthy body condition is the most pivotal element in your happy life. As you can see, for this happiness the progress is not all the time excellent, so I object to the idea that it is superior for everything. |
