7.15 spaceknight 独立作文
People now have access to much more abundant sources of news and information due to the fast development of internet, comparing to the past when a person’s main resources of news and information are televisions, newspapers and radios. But I believe that with too many resources of news and information, one may find it difficult to tell which one is true, and who is telling lies. I will examine below the specific reasons why I think so.
First, most of the resources provided by internet like BBS, social network, personal blogs etc. are not authorized and unreliable. What is worse, most people on the internet are anonymous that means they don’t have to be responsible for the news or information they publish or spread. So they won’t bother to check the authenticity of the news or information. With so many people are telling various kinds of lies, one can easily get confused and mislead and find it almost impossible to pick up the truth among a large quantity of lies.
Another important reason is that a lot of people deliberately publish and spread false information and news for their benefit, and they use many strategies to make people believe in them. This kind of people includes individuals hired by certain companies to advocate their product or discredit their competitors’ product, and people who are involved in a conflict and want to earn the support of public opinion. They typically involve many strategies to persuade people to believe in their announcement. For instance, a person who is hired by a certain computer company typically poses a story on a computer forum in which he pretends to be a client of a competitor of the company who hairs him, and complains how he suffers from the troubles caused by the constant break down of his computer, and how he envies his roommate whose computer never breaks down and of course are the product of the company that hires him. People tend to believe him rather than the companies’ official announcement even he is anonymous, because they think he as one of them. As for a person who wants to earn support of the public usually uses people’s sympathy, like claiming that he is an ordinary citizen threatened by corrupt officials in the local government.
In conclusion, nowadays, the variety of resource of news and information give rise to too many lies and misleading information deliberately devised, makes it really difficult for an individual to find out the truth.

The world is now changing in an unprecedented fast pace, and there are new technologies, concept, or products coming up every day. They surely make our lives more convenient and provide more ways for entertaining. But I agree with the belief that the world’s fast changing actually makes people less happy. I will introduce below some principal concepts incorporated in the assessment of gross national happiness known as GNH, which is widely accepted as a way to measure the happiness of residents of different countries to elaborate on my statement.
First, usually the more time one spends with his family and friends, the happier he is, while the fact is that the world’s fast changing makes people spend more time on working or studying and less time with their family and friends. For instances, with the rapid improvement of science and technologies, what students in college need to learn now not only increase in amount but in complexity as well, and when these new science and technologies are introduced to industrial , the workers have to spend lots of time to learn about them in order to keep capable of their jobs. And with the rapid emerging of new companies, the competition between them are enlarged too, this always means employees have to work harder.
Second, the income gap between a person and people around him has significant influence on his happiness. Nowadays with the rapid speed of new products and corporations replacing old ones, there are lots of people obtain tremendous fortune, while lots of people unfortunately loss their jobs. It leads to a huge income gap between members of communities where residents used to have similar income. For example, in my hometown, during 1960s’ to 1990s’, the life style of the inhabitants there had little change. They all lived on farming, they had similar minor income, but they are satisfied with their lives, most of them feel happy. However, now although most people have increased their income dramatically and have more leisure time comparing to the past, lots of them constantly complain about their lives and don’t feel as happy as before, because some of their neighbors are richer than them.
In conclusion, people now are facing a so much bigger pressure from work, school, or neighbors due to the world’s rapid changing. So there is no doubt that people are less happy now.
