【题目】 Some people believe that greed(贪婪) and selfishness has become the main theme of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community in order to have a better life.
In this fast –paced(快节奏的) world, many values are experiencing great changes. While people traditionally caring, sharing and generosity the most important things in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-centered.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the highly competitive world. To survive, you have to fight with whatever ways you can think of. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, workers do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even if it means their workmates will lose a lot because of this. They are not born cold-blooded; it is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way because of outside influences.
To be honest, it is hard to say that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more seriously punished then. But we can’t be blind to the fact that people in the past faced less pressure compared with the modern environment.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a win-win relationship.
