Work, Attitudes and Beliefs, and Social Changes

Today, we live in a world full of technological wonders. Colour televisions, supersonic jets, personal computers and mobile phones are common things. We enjoy a high level of living that our ancestors have never even dreamed of. Nowadays, there is no doubt that almost everybody works just to earn money to make a living. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, scientists and policemen are common jobs.

In this modern hectic world of ours, the number of wealthy people has increased while the number of poor people has decreased. It is because most people nowadays work to make a living for themselves and their families. Some of them are wealthy and have many wealthy materials like expensive cars, furniture, jewelleries, paintings and a huge mansion guarded by huge Dobermans and sophisticated burglar alarm. They are also materialistic and have their hands full with jobs. Making money is the only thing they care about as they place money as their top priority in their lives. Besides that, the number of working women nowadays has increased tremendously.

How working affects the social changes? We know that money can bring us luxuries and pleasures. Many people nowadays only care about making money to buy almost everything they want. However, most of them do not care about their eating habit. They are materialistic and become so busy with their jobs that they do not have any time to prepare nutritious meals. As a result, they take fast food as their meals. They think that eating fast food can save their time. It is important for us to know that eating fast food can damage our health. Besides making us fat and prone to all sorts of illnesses, fast food can cause various diseases like anaemia and skin diseases. Apart from that, they are too busy with their jobs that they also do not have time to do exercise which is the key of good health. What more if the number of working women nowadays is sky-rocketing. They certainly do not have any time to spend with their children and prepare nutritious meals for their families. Therefore, hiring a maid is the best solution to their problems.

For some people, the lure of money becomes overwhelming. Greed blinds them and they spend their whole lives pursuing money. As long as they make profit, they will do it even though they might hurt themselves in the process. There are some people who work extra hours in the offices and factories and there are even some people who work as an engineer and tuition tutor at the same time just to earn extra salaries. These are the examples of people who have allowed money to be the most important thing in their lives. As a result of overworking, they become tired and face pressure and tension all the time. They also go to bed late at night after working. It is really not worth it to damage our health just to earn extra money as health is wealth. They started out trying to make a living and they ended up forgetting to live. Thus, the life of wealth without health is not what we want to follow.

The bottom line is moderation is the key to life. It is the way to live our lives as it is meant to be lived. Therefore, we should put an end to this bad working habit in the nick of time by working in moderation.
