35.Some people think that in this modern world people are getting dependent on each other, while others think the modern world makes people more independent of each other. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

There is no doubt that a sense of independence plays a significant role in daily life. Modern technology allows us to engage with global events more conveniently and effectively.

In other words

, these modern inventions are increasingly considered panaceas for obtaining news, knowledge, social experiences, and even answers to school assignments, rather than asking questions, talking or discussing with

others

face-to-face.

This

exposure, in part, greatly reduces the level of connection that people have with

others

and promotes a stronger sense of independence within ourselves. The flourishing of mechanical automation has

also

contributed greatly to the independence of people, as it has revolutionized our modern way of life. Today, many everyday tasks, including shopping and banking, can be done on your own via the Internet, eliminating the need to meet people face-to-face and rely on service personnel

such

as clerks, bank tellers, and salespeople. To be sure, there are certain circumstances that can cause a person's increasing reliance on

others

. In

this

day and age,

due to

specialization and higher job requirements, it is not uncommon for everyone to be asked to become an expert in a specific field.

This

means that employees need to consult and cooperate with colleagues from other departments, or even another enterprise, in order to successfully complete the entire task.

Therefore

, it is very important to rely on

others

to a certain degree.

To sum up

, I believe that independent thinking is what modern society requires and will likely become a mainstream lifestyle in the near future, even though we may need to rely on

others

at times.
