The luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.In this issue it assert that the luxuries and conveniences of contenmporary life prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals. Consider the phenomena that people are more and more rely on the conveniences and eager to enjoy the luxuries it seems to make sense. However, to exam it deeply, you will find that the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life not only make our life more convenient and colorful, but also help us to be more independent. So I can hardly agree with the statement.Admittely, our life are more and more involves in the contemporary convenience and it is most people's dream to have a luxury car or house, or even a private plane.  Today, we can go anywhere in the world in a short time, thanks to the powful traffic. We can communicate with anyone only we have his or her telephone number. Even we I buy anything just seating in front of the computer though the Internet. Because of the advancing of technology, life of today is really very convenient, which is harld imaginable in the old ages. However, it seems we are becoming more and more rely on all these convenience. Life would be unthinkable without cellphone, subway, airplane and so on. If not computer, one can hardly caculate the most complicated equation.However, we are also becoming more and more strong compared with the acient people. For example, we know many things they don't know, that means we abtain more knowledge than them. We can solve more complicated proplems, and also we have more entertainment and luxuries. In short life of contemporary is more colorful. In the old time, people don't have light,  they just used fire as the light, which make life of the night very dark. In contrary, modern life, day or night are all day light, people have more blighter light, and even they can make it for special use, the colorful house of HooKoo is a good example, which the light is designed to change with the music.  Far from prevent us from independent, the convenience and luxuries make us more and more powful. The convenience life make our life so effective, which will dramatically save our time to ensure that we can complite more tasks and do more thinking. The luxuries, on the other hand, give one a motives to change his life and pursue a more rich life. It is most students dream to have a promising future, to find a good job with high salary, to possess a beautiful house, which, in the final analysis is for a luxury life. This give them the strength to study hard, to work hard, and to think independently.In sum, life is becoming more and more convenience and luxuries. However, it is make us more and more independent for saving our time and giving us effective rather than prevent us from truely independent.   In this era of rapid and technological change bringing more and more luxuries and conveniences into people's life, some are worried that they actually impeding people from pursuing truly strength and indepence. Through reflecting some of the appearances in society, this statement is really a little misleading.It seems obvious that the luxrious and convenience devices which only appear in our contemporary society actually prevent us from strength and independence. More and more peolple cannot do even simple calculation without calculators, which can be done manually before. The invention of automobiles are so convenient that people no longer need to walk a long way to work or come back home, which act a role in people's worse healthy condition. According to such behaviors in the society, some hastily draw the conclusion that in spite of the luxuries and conveniences, the contemporary life is really a Sargasso Sea of weakness and dependence bogging people from development.However, it is not fair to just blame the luxuries and conveniences for some retrogress of contemporary people without noticing their influence in helping us to obtain our really independent life. It is private cars that make it possible for common people to avoid the public transportation when they want to have some time and space belonging to themselves and enjoying their life only with their families and friends. And with the functions of many instant messengers, taking MSM as a typical example, people can just communicate with others in their own rooms without the necessity of meeting with real ones, maybe doing something else they would like at the same time. Both illustrate the point that under the surface of people's dependence on technology is the essence that they can possess a life of truly independence from others which were beyond imagination before the contemporary society came into being.Besides, the science and technology nowadays have developed to such a level that a single person can also make a significant contribution to the society with their help, which demonstrates that people are in fact intellectually stronger. It is not the time when judging people's ability only by how heavy they can carry or how fast they can run. On the contrary, intellectuall level is the principal standard for evaluating whether a person really useful in promoting our life and the harmony among us. The luxuries and conveniences play a really big part in helping people to achieve the objective. It was considerably difficult for hundreds of people to build a relative high building before while engineers in the contemporary life can construct powful enough machines to take place of people's work, saving not only labor force but also time and capital. How can we deny the existence of luxuries and conveniences in making people stronger with such evident illustrations?For thousands of years, our ancestors kept on fighting with the tough nature, somtimes even having no idea whether they would still be alive the next moment. Are they strong? While overcoming alll the dangers in the nature, they also had to depend on the nature to obtain what they needed. Are they indepent? It had been a really long way for us human to construct such a luxuries and convenient society. With the comparison with the early society, the advantages of modern society are also obvious that it is reasonable to accept the statement that the luxuries and conveniences indeed help people a lot to become truly strong and independent individuals.
