Do You Agree or Disagree with the Following Statement? It Is Important to Know About Events Happening Around the World, Even If It Is Unlikely to Affect Our Daily Life.

Views vary when it comes to whether young people today give enough time to help their communities. Since young people nowadays need to spend much time on studying, and in leisure time, most of them would like to play video games and watch TV, so they would not have sufficient time to help communities.

To begin with, young people nowadays do not give enough time for helping their communities since they have to spend most of their time on studying. Therefore, they would not have energy and passion to do that. Take Taiwanese senior high school students’ lives for example. Every day after they take classes in school for nine hours, they would have to spend at least three hours for doing assignments and preparing for tomorrow’s tests. On weekend, they need to go to cram schools. On summer or winter vacations, they even need to do internship. As a result, young people would not have time or passion for doing volunteer or something irrelevant to studying.

In addition, young people nowadays would like to spend their leisure time on playing computer games and watching TV. It turns that they don't dedicate themselves to volunteering or helping their communities. For instance, some researches have shown that every young man spends around three hours a day on watching TV and playing games. Some young man even spends all day long on doing these when he is on a vacation. As young people get used to doing these kinds of things when they are available, they would not think of doing something to benefit their environment, such as sorting garbage, doing recycle and being volunteers.

To conclude, since studying and playing computer games already occupy most of the time of young generation, they don't have enough time to help communities.
