 Write about the following topic: Life has become much more stressful compared to

our parent’s generation. As a result, stress-related illnesses are increasing around

the world. Why is stress such widespread in the modern world and what do you
think can be done to overcome the problems caused by stress? Give reasons for
your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or
knowledge. Write at least 250 words.

I totally agree, even though I'm too young to really know what the situation was like
in my parents' generation.

Our life is more stressful than in the past. One Reason is the increasing demand for
more goods. After the World War, consumption increased from year to year. As a
result, workers have to produce more and more goods in less time. However your
body needs rest and a well balanced lifestyle. Therefore you get sick from stress-
related illnesses. Incidentally, doctors are influenced by the pharmaceutical industry
and therefore they only prescribe medication for you. But in truth, medications
don’t solve the problem. In fact it is a vicious circle. As a matter of fact, you need
relax times or more exercise. Another reason is that you cannot work less because
from the higher costs. Nowadays we have more and higher living costs. For
example, we need an internet or phone agreement and a bank account that people
don’t need for twenty years.

If you want do escape from stress-related illnesses you should get out from the
social proof behavior. In other words you should do what you really want to do.
Only buy what you can afford. Don’t get into debt. Go out more in the nature and
feel the energy. Especially help to abolish the capitalism and change your self-
centered behavior.

In summary, it can be said that everyone needs money to survive. Even so, we
shouldn't work all day because nobody knows when the life is over. Use the time to
live your life.
