Native language: Korean. Ethics Topic: the 20 century (1901-2000) saw many changes. In your opinion, what is one change that should be remembered about the 20 century? Explain why this change is important. |
The development of human society, people have been facing a lot of facts that make and change our history. In 20th century, we might have no problem in plentiful life, however, People are in the world with wealthy life becoming cynical and ethic less mind. On the other hand, even though people are rich and satisfying their life, we might find out that is not true happiness being as human. I believe that in this 20th century, people must be changed to being enjoy their life regardless of their position, race, religion and financial situation. Also, people need to realize what potential value.
When it comes to a person who is rich and having reputation, it is hard to define that he or she is having true happiness, Nevertheless people can not find the happiness even if it is surrounding them. As far as I am concerned, from the childhood and now on, I was not able to feel what true happiness is, and I thought that I didn't have anyone who truly loves in my life but! it was not. According to my parents, they were always being of salt in my life, to be my friend and guider to make me a mature person. I finally realized that I was one of the happiest child in childhood.
Although people want to be treated well, first thing they should know is, how to treat people well. According to golden rule in ethics, potential values are distinguished by two things which are; if a person is able to keep the promise while others are able to keep the promise. In the meanwhile, we should be mature enough not to disappoint others. A personal relationship between his/her and his/her friend or anyone related in the life is important which everyone is thinking because People are born to love each other. However, nowadays, we are losing these potential things regarding to earn material things. For example, the movie jerry McGuire, there is two sales men in the company and they are having a friendship. But in order to get high position and high salary, they had to be enemy lack of moral even tough they thought they were best friend. And finally one of them was fired from the company and friendship has gone. But afterward, they are regretting that fighting was not the thing which can solve the entire problem.
Finally, things that I have mentioned above, out life is box of chocolate which means no one knows what will happen to us. However, if we keep in mind that what are valuable things in our life, we might not lose one thing that we desire and can find true happiness. Some people complain that they have nothing to enjoy, but as I said, if they look a bit toward around them, they will find it! Therefore our 20 th will be fully filled out with happiness. |
