▶ Your Answer :One of the most important features of
modern society is the development of transportation such as car, subway, and
airplane. Most of the people living in developed nations have been benefit from
the accessibility to these transportations, especially from cars, which is most
widely used. In spite of the fact that almost everyone in developed countries
takes advantage of cars regardless of their financial state, I think airplanes
have affect society more than cars. My view is based on cultural and medical.
Culturally,
citizens of the world became to share their lifestyle. In other words, world
started to be united. Without airplane, there is no way to come across the
Pacific in a day or check out if the tastes of Mc Donald cheeseburger are same in
each country. Due to globalization, People wear clothes and eat food which hadn’t
come from their own culture. For example, Koreans wear jeans and eat pizza for
lunch checking the message at iPhone. Globalization has naturally permeated
into and finally took over our society so that now we feel the word ‘globalization’
friendlier than the word ‘tradition’.
Medically,
transferring bacteria or virus from one person to the multitude became easier,
making the world vulnerable to pandemic disease. The airplane not only carries
patients from one place to other, but also the wind coming out from in-flight
ventilators convey germs to other passengers. If the person who is infected to
a disease visit other countries rather than just stay in their own place, the
disease couldn’t be limited in a national boundary. For examples, SARS started
to spread out to the whole nations when the first infected man participated in
the academy where people came from numerous countries of the world. It is not
that weird thing to see a person in Asia who is infected by a virus which lives
only in Africa.
In conclusion, though cars have changed the
lifestyle of society, it is finally the airplane which bound the whole nations
together. Due to airplane, every person in each country got to share their life
whether it is positive of negative. |
