You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: 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.
Over the
last
half century
the pace of Add a comma
century,
change
in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations. This
has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis. This
means that change
is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and we need to constantly adapt to keep pace with it. Those people
who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people
believe they are resisting change
themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the ‘safe’ patterns of behaviour are no longer appropriate. However
, reaching the conclusion that change
is inevitable is not the same as assuming that ‘change
is always for the better’. Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts for

. A lot of innovations are made with the aim of making money for a few. This
is because it is the rich and powerful people
in our society who are able to impose changes (such
as in working conditions or property developments) that are in their own interests. In conclusion, I would say that change
can be stimulating and energising for individuals when they pursue it themselves, but that all change
, including that which is imposed on people
, does not necessarily have good outcomes.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
