Over the

last

Linking Words

half-century, the pace of development in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations.

This

Linking Words

has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis.

This

Linking Words

means that change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and we need to constantly adapt to keep pace with it. Those who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing.

For example

Linking Words

, banking is now completely online and built on technology and we live in an increasingly cashless marketplace. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the ‘safe’ patterns of behaviour are no longer appropriate.

However

Linking Words

, reaching the conclusion that transformation is inevitable is not the same as assuming that ‘change is always for the better’. Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts on society. A lot of innovations are made with the aim of making money for a few. A case in point is the vast amount of money spent on space travel even though it may not benefit everyone.

This

Linking Words

is because it is the rich and powerful in our society who are able to impose changes (

such

as in working conditions or property developments) that are in their own interests. In conclusion, I would say that adaptation can be stimulating and energising for individuals when they pursue it themselves, but that all change, including that which is imposed on people, does not necessarily have good outcomes.

Investment of governmentiality through arts are seen negatively by many, as there are a lot more occurences that should be tackled instead. Even though the benefits of arts might be considerably big for creativity inducing within the society, i firmly agree that the money that are invested by the government should have been allocated to the public services as those are more crucial for the advancement to the societal lives.

Some people think that a high salary is important when choosing a company to work for, while others think that a good working atmosphere is more important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
High salary or good working atmosphere? What will you choose? On my point of view there should be a balance between this conditions. When your salary is not enough to live normal life obviously great working atmosphere would not help you with that. Despite, a lot of money can't help you to get over everyday stress on a workplace. But sometimes there is no option to choose and you have to deal with what you get. In this case my choice is a high salary. I have enough experiance to deal with stressfull situations. I have been learning different phsyhological tips for a long period of time so I can work in different work conditions. Although, living in Ukraine showed us which things are really important. Moreover, I believe that I have a power to leave work on a workplace and do not think about it at home. On the other hand, you can't get all money of the world, so maybe it is better to live your normal everyday life without stress in a good and pleasant atmosphere. As I mentioned befor...

In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think advantages of driverless vehicles outhweighs the disadvantages ?
Due to the recent advancements in technology and especially A.I, in the future all cars and public transportations will not need a human to drive, instead they will be driven by computers and the Artificial Intelligence. I believe disadvantages like high price and people's mistrust in these vehicles does not outweigh advantages such as safer roads and less traffic.
