Nowadays, most countries improve the standard of living through economic development. But some social values are lost as a result. Do you think the advantages of the phenomenon outweigh the disadvantages?

At present, the standards of living are raised while

its advantages.

First

of all, there is a wide range of economic benefits if a country focuses on economic development.

For example

, it is evident that the standard of living would be highly improved.

Secondly

, the infrastructure quality would be raised significantly and people can enjoy more materialistic conveniences of more advanced technology and engineering, like better

and electronic devices.

Nonetheless

, spiritually, economic boom does not equal good social value and high rate of satisfaction in the

society

. One notable point is that economic development means intense labouring in the workplace, in which employee should work harder for longer working hours.

This

phenomenon, or the so-called alienation
