Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Change has  been a controversial issue which has seen people living at poles with some supporting and embracing it, others alarmed at the very idea of it. Both the factions have justified reasons to support their views.   

The conservatives like traditional patterns and forego any alterations because they are not willing to step outside their comfort zone, or are not confident enough to face new challenges; thus, they prefer to remain within  the confinements of their predefined norms and  conventions. Moreover, many feel following the same routine over day in day out can help them master their skills. Furthermore, the fear of uncertainty of the unknown also inhibits people from attempting modifications or deviations. For example, transition in position or status often worries many as they fear that they may not be able to manage new tasks successfully; therefore, they believe in sustaining themselves in the same patterns.    

Nevertheless, for many, change is the only constant. For this lobby, as  the world is evolving constantly, so are the preferences and habits of the people. There are several who draw parallels of changes with innovation that helps break the mold of the past that is little more than mundane and let a fresh perspective and methods emerge that promise freshness and betterment. For others, stepping out of comfort zones is an adventure which might seem challenging at first, it will turn out to be a rewarding pursuit in the long run, later. A new job, for instance, might present challenges, but help acquire new knowledge and skill sets to augment future endeavours.

On the whole, in my view, despite both views being correct in their own virtue and  reasoning, embracing change is imperative to learn new things and explore potential for betterment.
