apid development of technology, people have more things to do than ever before.

However

, not all of the activities are beneficial to human beings. Despite the warnings from authorities, people still can stop doing harmful activities. There are a variety of reasons which cause

this

phenomenon but steps can be taken to tackle

this

problem. In my opinion, two main factors are to blame for

this

issue.

Firstly

, compared with positive activities, negative activities are more enjoyable.

For example

, exercising is good for health but people may feel exhausted and sometimes bored if they exercise by themselves. In contract, lying on the couch is more comfortable and relaxed

although

it may increase the possibility of getting certain diseases. What’s more, bad consequences usually won’t occur in the near future and people are not able to imagine how severe they are so that people tend to ignore them. To be more specific, researchers keep emphasizing the detrimental effects of global warming. Many business owners who over release carbon dioxide and contaminate the atmosphere already know their actions will result in global warming which will bring global catastrophe. Since it will not happen immediately, they choose to neglect it. The good thing is the situation can certainly be improved by the following solutions.

favourable activities become more fun to do.

For instance

, social applications can add a function to record the exercise amount and it will be ranked within users’ social group. In

this

way, people can be stimulated because of the potential competition and feel more interested in doing exercise.

Secondly

, means to promote the negative effects of the bad activities need to be more intuitive.

For example

, showing pictures of damaged lungs on the cigarette box can effectively reduce smoking. In conclusion, it is understandable that keeping doing good things is hard especially when bad things are more pleasant to do and potential damage can be easily ignored. People may continue facing the issue unless we make good things more enjoyable and let people be really aware of the negative consequences of it.
