刚好练习的作文和楼主同样题目。也放上来,求大家狠批!
Since the dawn of the 21st century, we human beings are experiencing various changes, social and technological, in every aspect of our lives. However, the debate over the pros and cons of changes is still representative of the type of questions raised regarding how changes may affect people and modern society. Though some people avoid changes and try to live a routine life, I believe the positive effects of changes far outweigh its negative ones.
Convincing argument can be made that we can benefit a lot from changes. First, changes are inevitable and necessary for social revolutions and evolutions of human beings. If our ancestors had not changed their hunting lifestyle and not settled down to farm, we would probably still live in caves. If the British in the 1860s had not embraced changes and made the 1st step of industrial revolution, mass production would still be a dream today. If cars and aero planes had not been invented, we perhaps would never be able to imagine how things were like on the other side of the planet, let alone globalization. Such instances can be countless.
Moreover, changes can bring about opportunities. In history every social change was followed by new job vacancies and new professions. It is only possible for people who can take the chance to improve their living conditions or achieve their ultimate goals. Take the CEO of Apple for example. If Steve Jobs had never dropped out from college and taken the first bite off the apple, he would probably just be an ordinary person instead of one of the most successful businessmen and legendary icons. Also, changes can afford us with amusements and keep us from getting bored. For people living everyday life like a routine transaction, the enthusiasm and passion inside them would soon die out, or even never exist, which might lead to serious psychological problems such as depression.
Granted, changes may carry some risks, since there are good changes and bad ones too, like natural catastrophes and financial crisis. Some argue that people might lose their jobs or even their lives due to those evil changes. However, with modern technology we are increasingly better able to cope with those kinds of problems.
To conclude, even though sometimes changes may have negative influences on people and the society, some of which cannot be neglected, I still believe that their positive effects are more noteworthy.
