Without doubt, emergence of transportation in history has since been making people’s lives more convenient. Thus, it’s crucial to discuss which one of two major means of transportation, cars or airplanes, impacts the society more than the other. While opinions concerning this topic can be quite different relying on the individual perspectives, I strongly believe that airplanes have a greater impact on our society for the following reasons.
First and foremost, it is needless to say that the existence of airplanes allow people to broaden their perspectives. To be specific, airplanes enable the transfer of goods from one country to another, and thus help people become highly exposed to items from a variety of countries. Being exposed to foreign goods that have been shipped by airplanes from overseas, people can undoubtedly broaden their views. Having people well experienced from various items would improve overall awareness level of the society. According to the research conducted recently by Statistics Korea, 75 percent of online shoppers claimed that they had become more experienced through the process of obtaining goods from other countries and using them on a daily basis. This clearly proves that airplanes, that are on the basis of country-to-country interactions, definitely have a greater impact on our society. On the other hand, cars unfortunately cannot manage to transfer international goods.
Furthermore, airplanes transfer foreigners who can effectively work to improve the economy. When countless intelligent people come to the country and work in different sectors in the region, it will boost the overall productivity level in the society. Also, when many people with excellent abilities - those that aren’t found among natives - move in and are given opportunities to work hard in a variety of sectors, the society will benefit in an unprecedented way. For instance, Peter Kim, who moved to the United States and developed a groundbreaking industrial robot, undoubtedly did something that Americans would perceive as a big gain. This shows that people with great talent can move to other region with the help of the airplanes, and improve the society by working hard. Again, this isn’t a type of opportunity that cars would be able to provide.
To sum up, airplanes contribute to the perspective development by allowing the transfer of foreign goods, and bring in excellent people who can develop the society. In this regard, I firmly believe that airplanes have a greater impact on society than cars.
