#people #world
In the world we live in today, we have progressed a lot. Some
people
 believe that
such
 progress has led to dependence on one another, whereas others think we have become self-dependent. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both views and explain why I favour the latter view.
Firstly
, the modern world has brought many complexities in the way we live, and it can be seen in how we have all become materialistic.
For instance
, we all want to live with modern facilities like; air-conditioners, cars, televisions, gadgets, etc. it has led us to become dependent on others for our lives' smooth functioning.
Also
, in modern times,
people
 favour specialization, due to which a person knows his/her field only.
As a result
, dependence on
people
 with specialized knowledge has increased.
However
, the progress has
also
 led us to become independent. We have become so busy in our lives possessing all the luxuries of life that we have lost connection with the
people
 around us. On top of it, we have
also
 lost the courtesy and human values that has made us selfish. As we do not have free time and want to save money, we have become independent. It can be observed with the increase in DIY products that helps
people
 to solve their petty issues without taking any favours from others, making them self-reliant. In conclusion, in the materialistic
world
Add a comma
,world
show examples
 we live in, one can find one another's dependence due to our way of life.
However
, I opine that with time, to save time, money and avoid any favours,
people
 are getting more independent.
