Clare/ To what extent is today's fast-paced society a detriment to people's lives?

Some may disagree that today's fast-paced society is a detriment to people's lives when it brings about an enormous workload to each individual. Be it working or studying, everyone faces a ton of workload which never seems to be finished. Constantly sitting at their desks doing their jobs till the wee hours in the morning. These people are always occupied with their work, and hardly spend any time doing other things besides working. They hardly ever take time off to relax or to take a breather. Hence, taking a toll on their health and they are put at a higher risk of suffering from health problems and chronic illness. As they are taxing their bodies too much, their bodies may eventually give way and they may collapse. However, in today's society, technology has advanced. Hence, with the help of advanced technology, people can easily cope with the enormous workload. They are able to complete their work faster and more efficiently. Furthermore, even in a fast-paced society, concessions are given in the form of paid-leaves and various holidays, given by the company or public holidays. For example, in Singapore, a statute was formally written, and it is a law that the minimum tariffs for employee leave from work is 14 days. Therefore, today's fast-paced society is not a detriment to people's lives, as people are given concessions and slack, and they are given sufficient rest to recharge for the days ahead. Hence, it is not a detriment to their healths and their lives.
