29- It is said that people’s life now is becoming more and more stressful.
What are the causes and how can we solve it?
The acceleration of industrialization and the prosperity of economy benefit our
society a great deal. But with the speeding up of economic development, people
are facing more and more pressure from various aspects of their lives. This
essay will explore the causes for the heavy pressure and put forward some
feasible solutions.
One of the major causes is that people’s living rhythm has been
promoted
immensely with the upgrading of neo-knowledge and hi-tech. To keep abreast
with the society, people have to work intensively on
the one hand and improve
their knowledge on the other. The economic globalization strengthened
international cooperation and expanded people’s scope of activity. The fierce
social competition deprives people of their spare time
and makes their life more
stressful.
Another factor comes from the pressure of people’s family. People in the current
society have to shoulder the responsibility of family maintenance. On the one
hand, people have to care for their parents, creating
for them a happy and
comfortable life. On the other hand, they have to provide a good education for
their children. To
earn more money, people have to work very hard to finance
their family.
If people live in heavy pressure, they will have problems both
physically and
psychologically. To relieve the pressure, I think the following suggestions are
feasible and practical. Firstly, people are suggested
to go in for some sports
games in their spare time or at the weekend. Sports can build up people’s
physique and make them vigorous. Secondly, people should communicate with
others frequently and confess their trouble and difficulty to others, which is a
very magic way to release ones pressure. Finally, people
have to find a balance
between money and health. Otherwise, one’s health will be overdrawn and
spoiled by earning money.
In brief, good life should not be obtained at the price of the deterioration of one’s
health. People should improve their lifestyles and lead a life of high quality.
