On Individualism

The picture shows that it rains heavily.“Do you think that individualism is an increasing tendency？”The journalist，protected by an umbrella，asks a walker who is like a drowned rat in the rain.Nowadays，with the exchange of cultures and minds between the West and the East，the idea of individualism has raised great debates.

Some people think that individualism may have good effects—it emphasises the benefits of each single individual and the individuality that each social member struggles to keep.It may promote the variety of society. However，others hold opposite opinions.For one thing，they reckon that individualism makes people care so much about their own benefits that some may become indifferent and hard-hearted to others（just like the journalist in the picture）.For another，exceeding individualism hinders the cooperation between people，companies and organisations.

In my opinion，we should try our best to avoid the bad effects of individualism and make full use of its beneficial effects so that a varied and wonderful world will be built up.
