You should write at least 250 words.

There are reasons why some people would always want to see changes and why some would always want to keep its status quo. The change that people either want to see or not want to see depends on the circumstances of what the person is in and also depends on the personality of the person.
On one hand, there are people that are staunch and adamant about avoiding any changes in their lives. Normally it would be the people who keep a steady job, have a steady family and do not want interference in how their lives operate. This interference would cause a major disruption in their lives where their routines are thrown out of wack, where major loss of income would mean there are very difficult times with a lot to lose. The more someone has to lose when there is a change in their lives, the less wiling they are to be willing to make any changes. There is also another side of the coin of people that don't want changes, those guys are guys that are stubborn, hard headed and are generally difficult people who are unwilling to take in ideas, think they're right all the time and dismiss everything else people say.
On the other hand, there are people that are willing to change things up. These people generally are in situations where a change would drastically improve their quality of life. The same people generally don't earn a lot, lives in a poor environment and just overall have much more hardship. A change in their lives such as being able to land this key job would drastically change their fortunes of their lives and those people would absolutely want to see that change in their life. There are, however, personalities that just get really bored of the same routines day in and day out and would like to see random sparks in their lives to spice up their life.
