正文
Today, in most times, we have to make choices. No matter what we want to do, no matter what job we have, there are always some choices, whether critical or not, waiting for us. So I can say that the absence of choice, maybe do exist, is no doubt a quite rare circumstance.
We make various choices in our everyday lives. In modern society, the living standard is much higher than ever before, and we can choose the favorite life style. Every morning, we can choose when to wake up. After waking up, we should choose what to eat for breakfast. When we get everything ready, we must choose how to get our company, by bus, by taxi or by car. Maybe we do all those things following our habits, but the choice do exist no matter we recognize or not. Moreover, since the inventing of Internet, tax and phone, the communicating became more and more easy and we can get a lot of information quickly and conveniently. But too much information also causes problem called the information explosion, and that means we have to choose useful information from the sea of various information. In one word, choice exists in every aspect of our lives.
Sometimes we feel there is only one choice available, but the fact is that the other choices have no appealing and we don't want to choose them at all. For example, an undergraduate student said he has no choice but to accept a job not very suitable. It is entirely possible that the salary of other jobs is too low and he doesn't consider them at all. The student don't want to choose them don't mean there are no choice for him.
Though in most cases there are choices waiting for us, there are restrictions too. We can't make every choice you want in most times. The law is a representative restriction that prevents us from harmful deeds. If I want to earn money, robbing bank is a fast and easy way, but the law forces me to forget this method. The moral is another restriction encouraging me to do the right thing. If I am a rich man, I can choose between living in luxury and donating most of my money to society. Directed by moral, I may choose the second way.
However, there are still some circumstances that we have no choice at all. Since the human can't do anything, there are still some things are out of people's hand. Take disease for example, no one can choose when to have disease and what kind of disease to have. The taste of people is another thing which can't be chose. A person may love to eat arid food, but there is no reason for why he loves it.
In sum, in most cases when you thought you have no choice, the fact is that you don’t want to make other choices. Whether you recognize or not, there is numerous choices waiting for you both in job and in your everyday life.
这个提纲写的有点多了
