Many people opine that life should be the same everyday and changes are unnecessary while others believe that alternations do wonders for human beings. This essay will discuss two contrasting sides of this problem and personally, I would prefer changes to similar routines.
It may be argued that avoiding changes can bring about peace and stability to human life. This is because when people know clearly about their timetable, routines and what to do, they would complete tasks faster and feel more comfotable. For example, in manufacturing sector, those who work longer can be more skillful and competent in dealing with assemble lines. Moreover, avoiding unexpected changes is also thought to lessen the mental illness rate because people will not have to suffer from fear and nervousness about what to come in the future. In short, people might benefit from changes avoidance.
On the other hand, changes play a vital role in our lives. Firstly, it refreshes our experience in either positive or negative ways. Specifically, changes can make us more experienced in coping with different situations and explore ourselves as well as the world surrounding us. Furthermore, alternative routine can conjure up some fresh and distinct ideas such as the discoveries of scientists, explorers throughout history, which have been the generator of useful discoveries and inventions. Secondly, changes can open up many different sides of problems. For instance, without climate change, human beings will not notice to preserve the natural environment and reduce human's adverse impacts on it. Therefore, for the improvement of all individuals, changes is beneficial.
In conclusion, I would argue that for a better life and ourselves, people should not avoid changes but handling it effectively is the best way.
