Do You Like Being Alone?

Nowadays, it can be clearly seen the huge number of people who prefer living alone. Some people agree that is living makes people more interactive in the society. In my opinion, I have two perspectives.

First of all, each person needs to be alone sometimes. For instance, when I feel upset for any reason, I like to be alone. In addition, being alone is essential for me when I want to think clearly about any problem I face. For me, my bedroom is my small world  that I escape to it when I feel that I do not want to talk to people.

On the other hand, living alone makes people less social because they used to not share anything with anybody at home such as cooking, eating, and watching TV. Joseph Stromberg (2013) refers to the bad effect of living alone on the health "This indicates that the real danger of living alone is not feeling lonely per se, but having reduced contact with others." So, they feel weariness when they communicate with people  for a long time. For example, one of my friend who lives alone likes to spend her time alone rather than spend it with friends.

Finally, I think moderation is the key here to  keep balance and allow us to live in a harmony. To illustrate, I live with my family, but I can be alone when I want at the same time. Moreover, they respect me when I tell them that I need to be alone to rearrange my thoughts.

To sum up, people argue about if being alone is a good idea or not. I think escaping from people is important sometimes, but this does not mean that we have to live alone. So, moderation is important to have social life and private space.

Journal: A Perfect World

Journal Entry:

Describe your idea of a perfect world. Include as many details as you can think of.

        Living in a perfect world is like a dream because we can not imagine that all people will have a perfect life. In addition to that, I think all people will want to have a long life in that time. Today, with all these wars and political issues, most of the countries are in a non stable situation. people are suffering from hunger and poverty, and no one care about them. Moreover, lots of poor countries lack of good schools and hospitals. As we can see also, the polluted environment that we live in, so lots of people get sick due to this problem.

        on the other hand, when we think about the perfect world, Peace is the word that comes to our minds, so crimes and wars will not exist any more, so all people would have the right to  live without the feel of fear. I think equality would be also exist between countries and people. For instance, there will be no rich and poor countries, so all countries would have good schools and hospitals. Also, all people will be at the same level in the society. in addition, we will have fresh air everywhere because of the clean environment, so the number of diseases that related to the pollution will be decrease. Lori (2013) says "In a perfect world there would be no birth defects, no injury, no illness, no aging and no death. There would be no power struggles, no ego struggles and no struggles for survival. There would be universal love and kindness and brotherhood – a perfect community."


To sum up, the perfect world is like a dream we can not imagine it. If the  peace is dominating the world, this means no wars, hunger and poverty. So, each person would have his own perfect life.
