Some people think individuals are more and more dependent on each other. Others believe we are more and more independent. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Nowadays, there are different opinions about whether

people

are more independent or not.

This

article will discuss these two perspectives. On the one hand, it is true that today's

people

live a more self-reliant lifestyle than ever before. the main reason for

this

trend is because of the development of technologies, especially the Internet, which provides easy access to various knowledge and skills.

Accordingly

, help from teachers and senior workers is no longer necessary for both students and junior staff, and most

people

are able to achieve their assignments on their own.

Moreover

, a growing number of

people

are addicted to online activities,

such

as playing video games and watching TV programmes. they prefer interaction with computers rather than communication with others. Obviously,

this

trend causes a great gap between family members and friends.

On the other hand

, it is

also

true that nowadays

people

became more dependent on each other on a global scale and from the aspect of industrial production.

Firstly

, with the development of globalization, our world has become a global village.

As a result

, cooperation among countries becomes common and necessary.

For example

, for the sake of reducing cost and providing higher quality commodities, many international companies take the advantage of advanced technology to design and research their products in developed countries

and produce and manufacture goods in developing areas because of the lower cost of raw materials and labours.

Furthermore

, because of the standardization and industrialization of production in modern societies, each individual only plays a small part in the whole working process. In another word, every job or achievement needs the contribution of a huge group of

people

from various fields. In conclusion, on a smaller scale,

such

as in families, workplaces and schools,

people

become more independent than ever.

However

, on a larger scale,

such

as throughout the whole world and the whole society,

people

get closer relationships with each other.
