Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It is believed that we are presented with an overwhelming

number

of choices by modern life. From my perspective, I completely agree with that idea.

Firstly

, nowadays there is a dramatic expansion in the

number

of choices in buying things or using services. We are living in a consumer society

,

because an abundance of products is being produced in order to attract consumers' attention and encourage them to spend more money. Smartphones are an example. Twenty years ago, we had no idea of a mobile phone connected to the Internet, but now millions of smartphones are being produced daily. Another example is that I had a choice of just 5 TV channels when I was a child, whereas I now have access to thousands of movies or videos offered by services like Netflix.

Secondly

, we are faced with a world of options in education. People nowadays have a huge

number

of opportunities to

further

their higher education by entering university domestically or overseas.

For instance

, after socializing education in 2008, a huge

number

of private universities and establishments are being opened in our country.

In addition

, public universities and colleges are introducing more and more new majors to compete with private ones. As a consequence of

this

, high school students no longer have the limited but simple choices of their parent's generation and they are confused about which university and profession to choose after finishing their high school program.

For example

, my younger brother wants to study economics, but now he is confused about where to go. In conclusion, it seems to me that we are faced with a huge

number

of options, and

this

is more bewildering than beneficial
