A Word's Worth: Change is Good
English Composition at Fullsail
Inspiration: 8th Grade Social Studies Teacher (Seven years ago) - its more of a ramble than anything imo


'Change’ is a frightening word for most people. When directly incorporated into a person’s life, a conversation, or campaign, it means that a standard or opinion has been made so a majority or individual becomes different. It’s meaning brings negative connotations as well as positive. In some ways people may want ‘change’ in their life to set a new standard for themselves. In other cases, people may not hone into the word ‘change’ but may accept the word ‘modification’ as a distorted way to hide any negative meaning that comes from directly from ‘change.’

I will always remember the phrase my Social Studies teacher had told us in the 8th grade: “Change is good.” This phrase works well with that age group as if it sticks with the student; it defines his or her maturity. It’s meaning is that without change, you may continue follow a bad habit down the same road. When it comes to involving immature teenagers, this phrase sheds light upon being responsible, and if being hopeful, a change can be seen in them later in life.

Change could also be interpreted as the words ‘evolve’, ‘modify’, or ‘alter.’ When it comes to pride in humans, these words evoke a sense of self-questioning, which is mostly a negative response to the definition. As for myself, I commonly use these words to define my personality and use it as a guideline to assessing my maturity and responsibilities.

The question in most cases is: “Is change necessary?” That’s where the actual meaning is displayed, depending on the situation of course. If someone implies change directly to an individual, it reflects the person’s behavior in most cases. Whether or not the exact word is used is relevant as well. Each word (change, alter, modify, and evolve) has different insights, though personally I tend too ignore the formality or informality of each role. Using each word can impact a person differently.

Some people, especially politicians, use different words to positively shed light on a norm that is suggested for a different way of life. Bosses will use this approach as well when suggesting a different approach to events. The neutral and most common ground word to express change would be ‘modification’ in my opinion. This word is used excessively to remove any negative connotations used in the work force. An example of this would be a business proposal that needs to be fixed or changed.

The word’s role in today’s society is to convey a sense of self-discipline. If you can accept change, you can accept and maintain growth. To change means to pass from one state to another or to substitute one thing for another. To paint a better picture, in terms of human behavior, human beings are not perfect and neither are our inventions. So to reject change would be to reject progress in that sense. Change is good, so how will you accept change?
