what people needs today?

“Insecurity”has become a more and more serious problem among people. Especially for Americans who have been through the “9.11”. That's just the reason why people watch movie like “Superman”. Since the whole world is getting more and more competitive, and the pressure is just too much for these people. Everyone deep in side want a hero who can save him or her when they are desperate about something. This “hero” is actually just “security”.
People working in the office may be too concerned about whether they will get a promotion. They have to try their best to do their work and please their boss. They cannot trust people around fully as those people may set them up to acquire what they want. This is a serious problem as we will always have a time when we need someone to talk to. Without such people around us, it could lead to many diseases. In addition, this kind of insecurity can lead to mental problem, too. Actually, the percentage of having a mental problem in the office is comparatively high.
Parents today worried too much about their children, which can be found particularly in China, parents do everything for their children as they think children are too young to do many things for example having the right to manage their own money or staying outside late. While in some situation, they just control too much over their children because of the “insecurity” inside their heart .Their work has created too much trouble for them and they don't want their children to create more, while in fact, what they do stop their children from being mature.
The problem of “insecurity” is not only seen in the individual but also in the country as a whole. Countries like U.S or U.K sometimes pay too much attention on terrorists. They are worried about being attacked by them so they develop more and more weapons to “help” them protect their country. With doing so, they actually force the other countries to have such weapons otherwise they may be too weak. This cycle is just why we have a world like what it is right now. The government take some small things too seriously and it causes the dispute or even war between countries.
All in all, “insecurity” is just caused by people's worries that they cannot control things that they think they should have the ability to control. To acquire the feeling of “security” is very simple. Take it easy! You cannot control everything so just let it be. Don't control them. Don't do anything extra to acquire the control of something as this would damage many beautiful things in the world.That super hero is just inside you.

  1. James, you did a nice job. Your essay has a good organization, and deals with an interesting topic. One thing that I want to comment is that make sure that you need to practice to write a thesis statement, and topic sentences even though you write a journal. Keep going! :D
