Prompt: TOPIC: Some people think individuals are more and more dependent on each other. Some people think individuals are more and more independent. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

These days, there has been much debate about whether individuals are increasingly dependent on each other or not. I tend to agree that, people would be more dependent at work or some critical times, while they would be more independent in their own personal daily lives. Ċ Some people think that individuals are more and more dependent on each other. It seems reasonable because teamwork is significant increasingly at many work places from a small project group to a large international corporation. Brainstorming from many people in a group would create fantastic ideas, while mutual trust and cooperation of different companies like individuals could make more profit together. Moreover, not only for teamwork in jobs, but also for a united nation, people who are dependent on each other and bond together make a nation more powerful. Practically, when human race face great natural disasters, such as earthquake or tsunami, people from everywhere, even whole world, would help each other and be together to resist disasters. Ċ In contrast, some people think that individuals are more and more independent on each other, because various electronic means of communication has increased people's mobility and independence. In other words, people could stay in touch with their families and friends at anytime and anywhere by electronic means no need to face to face. Furthermore, more and more people, especially females, are economic independence now than old days resulting from the development of economy and education worldwide. Many parents even encourage their children to make their own money by doing housework in order to teach them to be independent earlier. Ċ In my opinion, for the reasons mentioned above, I believe that, at some crucial moments, people would like to be dependent on each other, even unite as one, while for their personal lives, people would be more and more independent.
