VIEWS

You should spend about 40 minutes on IELTS writing task 2.

Some people think that individuals are becoming more dependent on each other in modern society, while others believe that individuals are becoming more independent of each other. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

With the change in the skeletal framework and dynamics of society today, sundry transformations have come to adorn the world. With this, the major phenomenon that we see coming to the fore is the interaction among people. There are some people who often contend that modernization has augmented the dependency of people on each other while significantly other people peddle that modern society has made us considerably independent. I don’t flow in alignment with the latter opinion and agree with the former state of thought. In the paragraphs to come, I shall elucidate both the perspectives and my outlook on the topic.

As per some people’s viewpoints, advanced society sees the emergence of a new generation that does not really need any assistance from anyone. The digital contrivances are rife and have percolated the mainstream of society, where nearly everything is available on the screens of a few inches. Right from ordering food to contacting a domestic help toll-free number, nobody is inevitably dependent on people, unlike the prior times. Moreover, this era sees a betterment and burgeon of educated adults, thereby making them employed and self-satiating in terms of economy and capital. Hence, there is an onset of a self-blanketing lifestyle.

In a stark paradox to this, others propound that dependency has increased in today’s modern world owing to various reasons, and I count my vote for this statement. Primarily, the epoch of digitization has made people sluggish and languorous. With almost everything brought to the movements of the fingers, one major drawback that it has contributed significantly to is the lack of a vibrant and rigorous lifestyle that once used to be filled with physical dynamism, which now has been utterly attenuated. It has assuredly worsened the lifestyle and routine of people. Not only has it increased our dependency on various sources encompassing our meal boxes to laundry, the household chore to our daily lore, but it has also made us intensely self-insufficient as the people today have tasted the life of insouciance, where arduous activities and strenuous day to day tasks seem out of the ambit. To illustrate, the daily episodes of millennials crying out for help at the top of their voice for trivial tasks is inescapably noticeable now and then, thereby conspicuously showcasing the hollowness and shallowness of our so-called ‘self-dependent personalities’ today. In addition to that, a life of segregation and seclusion has pranced on the

frontlines, making people aloof, causing depression, anxiety, and eventually depending upon the counselling sessions again for the reason that was not so prominent a decade ago.

Therefore, we may say in conclusion that although modernization has caused people being economically and materialistically sufficed, the overall dependency has been profoundly darkened and aggravated.

Question Paraphrased – With the change in the skeletal framework and dynamics of society today, sundry transformations have come to adorn the world.

  • To illustrate, the daily episodes of millennials crying out for help at the top of their voice for trivial tasks is inescapably noticeable now and then, thereby conspicuously showcasing the hollowness and shallowness of our so-called ‘self-dependent personalities’ today.
  • A life of segregation and seclusion has pranced on the frontlines, making people aloof, causing depression, anxiety, and eventually depending upon the counselling sessions again for the reason that was not so prominent a decade ago.
