It is often said that as modern people are needed to handle too many things, they are more unlikely to doing things well. However, some people disagree with this statement because today’s society required a well-rounded person, thus many people are familiar with this trend to survive in this modern society. However, in my opinion, today’s people are too busy to stay focus any things, leading to poor result for two reasons: participating too many things in limited time and lots of task that are required to survive in this modern society.
To begin with, people have to spend fewer time too many things as they participate many different things. This is commonly observe that these days children have to do a minimum of three extra curriculum activities such as playing the piano, learning a second language and swimming, while those in the past did less after school. Thus children have to assign their times to each activity, resulting in investing fewer times in each. The time limit deters children from specializing in any area. To demonstrate, according to the Ministry of Education of Korea in 2007, there was a correlation between amount of time spent studying second language and fluency among student. Students who spent learning speaking English more than 9hours during week day, could speak more fluently than those who spent less time.
In addition, today’s people lack of passion as they are required to deal with too many things. This is because, to keep up with this fast-changing and competitive society, people need to be equipped with a wide range of knowledge, maintaining social network and their jobs. When they are pushed to handle too many things, they are more likely to get a lot of pressure which can lead to a decrease in working efficiency.
For example, my little sister, she has to take care of her baby and go to work to make a living. However, whenever she goes to work in the morning, she has a hard time to calming down her baby and taking her to nursing facility, sometime, this can result in going to work late and increasing her stress.
In brief, today working too many thing can have a negatively impact on doing each thing perfectly because of doing lots of things in a limited time and pressure of completing too many things to make a living. |
