Valid Interpretation Of This Quote.

<p>Arnold Bennett once said, “Any change, even a change for a better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.”</p>

<p>Suppose this was an SAT quote. How would you guys interpret it in 3-4 sentences and explain how it would relate to the greater society?</p>

<p>Well there are always going to be some dogmatic people when there is a change even for the better. An example would be machines and technology in the Industrial Revolution, people did not like the new more enhanced technology because the machines were taking their jobs. Of course the change is better, because of more productivity and such. Jobs were lost, people in poverty, and other bad stuff.</p>

<p>i agree with gista369, and you could also say (using the machine example) is that as more machines came/come into use, people stop(ped) learning how to do things on their own, e.g. calculators…i’m so reliant on mine that i can barely do long division anymore, not to mention i’m pitiful with mental math</p>

<p>All change is loss.</p>

<p>jsullivan89, I agree with you.</p>

<p>I know the concepts inside out in my head. But I can’t do mental math fast anymore, because I rely on my calculator to do it for me all the time.</p>
