Change. Change is a little word that means something big. Change means “to transform or convert.” Is change good or bad? This is a question which answer varies among each person. For some it may depend on their age, a lot of times we like to think the older generation doesn’t like change because they have to learn to adapt to the change. But in my opinion change is a good thing. Without change nothing would be the same as it is today. The advancement of our civilization and culture happened because of change. Sometimes you may not like change but you are forced upon it. For example if you have to move because of your job there is nothing you can do about it, it just has to be done. Moving locations of your house would be change. This to some could be a good change because they are improving in their job. Change could be something as small as changing your socks everyday to be clean or something as big as moving the location where you live completely. Without change many of the good things that have occurred in the past would not have happened. For example, the technology we use in our everyday lives has changed over time. Before people used to write on clay tablets and over time our technology has advanced and we now use things like computers to keep written records of things. Changes are mad every day, every hour, every minute, and even every second. The meaning of change can vary so much. Most of the time when you think of change you think of something being improved or advanced, something good. Change can be good in many ways. Some ways change is good is because it improves or makes things better. As civilizations advance so do many other things which cause change. We are constantly changing things very simple in our daily lives. Such as changing our minds, changing our clothes, changing what we eat and etc. Adding change to your life can add excitement and adventurous. It is good and healthy for people to have change in their lives because if they didn’t not their lives would be boring. It would constantly stay the same and very predictable. Some good changes in life are good things such as a government issues. For example let’s say a law states that you have to be 15 to drive, throughout the years many accidents have occurred and most of them are involving kids close to the age of 15 or the new drivers. They government will look at that and change the law to an older age so that accidents will occur and to protect the citizens so they do not get hurt. If something in your life is changing and you do not like you, you just have to work a little harder to work with it and it will work out fine. Change causes a little more effort and takes time to get used to. It may seem scary at first but if you work at it, it will only get better. Another example of a good change is if someone is overweight and living an unhealthy life. They may realize this and want to change it. They will work and work to change what they do so they become healthy. This is a good change because they are improving themselves. Change is not always a good thing and can sometimes be bad.
In some ways change can be bad to. Change can be bad because you have to learn to adapt to something new and learn how to cooperate with whatever the change may be. In some cases the change may be big so you have to make a big adaption, but in some cases the change may be small so you don’t have to make very much of an adaptation. Along with change comes learning. You have to learn to use the change and learn how to cope with it. Some people dislike this because they are so use to doing something that if it changes it causes big problems because now they do not know how to use it or what to do. It takes a while to adapt and learn how to deal with the change but eventually you do and sometimes you grow to like it. For example if I were to move to a different state. I would have to switch schools and make new friends. Most likely I will not like this change at first but after I learn to adapt and get settled I probably will. I will have to start over at a new school when I knew my old school perfectly well. This will include meeting new teachers and doing new work. Also I will have to met new people and make new friends which will be very hard at first. Once I adapt it will be like nothing every changed. After a while this will most likely change and it will keep going in a cycle and never end because things are constantly changing. Also change can be bad because say things have advanced and new technology has came out. For example when the computer first came out, everyone had to learn how to use it and what it does. Compared to what they used to use before computers it is probably a lot harder at first. You will start to learn the machine just as well as you knew whatever you used before and it will be easy. Some changes are very serious like environmental change. They can harm humans and animals especially if they do not ease into the change and learn to adapt. Change is bad because people do not like to adapt and learn to cope with the change.
I think change is a good thing because it will help improve your life and sometimes make your life easier. Although change may take some time and effort if you put some in to in then it will work out good and be a good change. Changes can start out bad but in the end turn out good. Most changes improve something and make it better for you. Changes are constantly being made every day. Don’t let the idea of change scare you because change can be, and most the time is, a good thing.
Although interesting, this essay suffers from lack of support by means of citations to anything that might help bolster your case; instead, it relies on generalizations and anecdotes.
