There are many different opinions regarding movement from one place to another. Although some might think otherwise, personally, I disagree that people should not move to a different city or country because they will inevitable lose touch with their old friends. In the following paragraphs, I will explain the detailed and logical reasons over my opinion. Firstly, people do not have to decide their movement depending on their old friends. In fact, most people who have thoughts to move to other places have important reasons for their movement. I mean not moving because of losing touch with their old friends is not a good reason. For example, I will refer to my friend’s case. My friend Anna’s workplace moved to the location where she has to drive more than two hours. At first, she considered moving to near her company’s new location, but she decided not to move because not only she had lived in one place for 20 years, but also her best friend lives near her. However, after a few months later, she quits the company because she was so tired to go to the workplace. This example shows that considering their old friends is not the first thing when you consider moving. Secondly, it is not good for people to move to a different place because they will lose touch with their old friends, because you can broaden your social relationships. Indeed, most people tend to meet friends who are familiar with them. Although this is great since they know each other well, but you cannot meet more people. The more you do not meet people who you do not know, the lesser your social boundary becomes. According to the research conducted by Pusan National University, people who live one place for a long time have fewer friends than those of who moved from one place to another over and over. Thus, it is safe to say that people can miss the chances to have more friends when they decide not to move because of their old peers. In conclusion, for these reasons mentioned above, not moving to a different city or country because people worry about losing touch with their old friends have disadvantages. This is because they have to consider their movement seriously by thinking about what is important for them. Furthermore, people can make more good friends outside from the place. |
