Essay 1 : Do we have to move away from a twelve-hour day to twenty-four hour day ?

There is no doubt that the technologies, which simplify our works especially houseworks and save time have been created, and thus people have had opportunities to spend the time on essential works. Despite of work simplification, we still need more time. Over the last decade, a speech about extending the time, from a twelve-hour day to a twenty-four hour day, have been spoken. Even though there are some advantages of changing it, disadvantages could be more.

                One of the main arguments in favour of expanding the time is that people's body clocks have been altered gradually. This change probably won't be difficult to us due to human being's feature that gets used to any changes easily. We can simply see the people walking on the street and the open shops during the night. These views may be show us a twenty-four hour day needs.

                On the other hand, people need enough relaxation in order to work more productively besides the modification of the time might cause the health problems. Furthermore there is no proof that outcome of the modification can solve the problem. After few years, it might be thought we need more than a twenty-four hour day as we do now.

                To conclude, human's demands are never provided totally because the more people get, the more they wish. Although there are several positive effects of lengthening the time, comparing them to negative ones, disadvantages are more than advantages. Personally, I would say we don't have to make this change.
