<p>Topic: Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make our lives better?</p>
<p>My Essay:
Changes that make our lives easier do not necessarily make our lives better. When one chooses to take the “easy route” out of a situation, one misses out on fun experience, does not learn to appreciate hard work, and loses one’s character.
In the hit television show Family Guy, Stewie Griffin, the socially-advanced baby, continuously tries to kill Louis, his mother. Even though Stewie has no real reason to kill hi mother, his intense attacks, coupled with his mother’s reactions, are hilarious. If Stewie were to actually kill Louis, however, the comedic aspect of the show would disppear. The viewer would feel let down now that the seven series long quest is over.
In the Spring on my sophomore year of high school, I expressed intenerest in developing iPhone applications to my Computer Science teacher. My teacher was extremely receptive and lent me one of the school’s Apple computers for the summer. Once I got the computer, I began my research on how to program the phone. I came across two methods: I could use either the language Python or Objective-C. I know a lot about Python, but I had never heard of Objective-C. So I made the only logical choice: I chose to program in Objective-C. I did not merely want to develop iPhone apps - I wanted to learn something new. The process was difficult. I could have chosen to switch to Python at any time, but I wanted to learn something new. I received confirmation that I had made the right choice when I learned that my Objective-C app had been downloaded over 50,000 times. I felt ecstatic after choosing to ignore the option of chenging to an easier language… and then having my app become so popular!
Last year, a cheating scandal rocket my high school. Ten sophomores had chosen to make an easy option available to them: they stole the history final a week before the exam was scheduled. In the short run, the students probably felt they had made the right choice. In the long run, however, the students quickly learned that the easier route does not pay in the end. Not only did they lose their chance to learn the material, but they also lost their character and their enrollment at my school.
People often take the easier option to avoid work, but the easier option often leaves one unfulfilled. There is no humor, no feeling of success, and no character or morals when people choose to take the easy route.</p>
