　　托福独立作文范文之现今没有家庭的帮助也很容易成功，2012年10月13日中国大陆考过此题目。

　　Nowadays, it is much easier for a person to achieve success without family's help than in the past. Use details and examples in your response.

　　Modern society has made it much easier for a person to achieve success independently. Many of the artificial constraints previously limiting the success of certain demographics have been reduced by the steady advancement of technology and the democratization of society; as a result, the ability to achieve success independent of family aid has increased dramatically.

　　As noted, technology is one of the things that has made this possible.Take subway and bus systems, for example: The advent of relatively quick and affordable public transportation networks such as these has made it possible for people to commute distances that previously would have not been feasible without the help of family resources.This gives people more flexibility when it comes to finding work. Or look at the advent of the internet: This has not only made it possible to find work online, but it has also democratized the distribution of information. People now have access to a wealth of resources for self-improvement, all without the hefty costs associated with educational institutions.

　　Social equality has also increased significantly. This has lead to the world becoming much more of a meritocracy than it was before. In many past societies, upwards mobility was a function of your family standing rather than the birthright of every citizen. This type of nepotism is commonly frowned upon now, and people are much more likely to be promoted based on the quality of their work than their family ties. This is also partially thanks to the influence of capitalism; market forces favor those who excel at what they do, so as long as you perform well, it's much more likely that you'll find success.

　　Related is the elevation of previously marginalized groups in society. In 19th-century France, for example, women were expected not to walk outdoors unescorted, since those that did were likely prostitutes. Such circumstances did not allow for much upwards mobility, unless these women had family connections they could call on. And even then, the range of professions they could pursue was strictly limited by the prevailing gender biases of the time. They were also restricted in terms of education, which placed an apparent ceiling on their capabilities and perpetuated the idea that women were inferior to men. While far from perfect, today's societies give women much more room to succeed in general, not just without the help of their families. The same can be said of other traditionally oppressed groups, such as African Americans in the United States.

　　Overall, people can independently achieve more today than they ever could in the past. Technology has encouraged this through the creation of accessible public transportation and information networks, while social changes have facilitated this by eroding the systemic biases that previously held down certain demographics. A family's help can still be beneficial to achieving success, but its role is no longer as important as it was before. ( 479 words)
