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
always been a matter profoundly debated; many are quite open and liberal about
accepting and integrating it in their lives, while some are averse and, in
fact, hostile to even the slightest of hints about altering anything in their
routines. I feel that both have their views well-supported with plausible
reasons.
Change has been
the fundamental law of nature, as many suggest. Ability to adapt successfully
to the fast transforming surroundings and environments guarantees survival. The
ones who can adapt to shifts do not only
weather the harshest of the times but also get to enjoy the exploits of success
attained thereafter. This can be easily exemplified from historical events,
where civilizations that failed to respond appropriately to the fast altering
world order ceased to exist, while who adapted themselves ruled supreme.
Moreover, doing
things differently is considered to be a
way to innovate: it has an element of adventure, that allows encountering and
overcoming uncertainties. For this school of thought, humans are subject to
change in the same way as the days and nights, and seasons. Altering methods of
working and leading life can afford freshness, excitement and consequently,
improvements, and evade boredom.
Having said
that, the other lobby is more comfortable with working in the same settings.
They dread even the slightest deviations in their methods, for that might force
them to expend efforts once again to attain similar success, and also expose them to failure. This attitude is more visible among the ageing
population who are reluctant to even engaging with the new technology.
