In my opinion, we, indeed, are living the generation which is far more cozier than the of our granfathers. there are no reason to disagree with this topic because of three reasons. First, the improvement of technology. Second, advancement of welfare. Third, people are very much concious of our mental health.
First of all, obviously, the technological development. Needless to say, we are living in the high-tech generation. The constant refinement of science made it possible to build air conditioner, boiler, microwave, refrigerator, laundry machine, and even the IT related devices such as computer and smart phone. We benefit from air conditioner in the summer, and we are also able to take warm bath any time because of the boiler. People even can save much time and exploit it for themselves thanks to refrigerator and laundry machine. Smart phone and computer has also made our lives comfortable by helping us take useful and valuable information whenever we want them.
Secondly, the advancement of welfare also made our lives more fertile than our grandfathers'. In the past, when human were living in the early era of modern civilization, they had modernized the aspects of human lives according to the certain theories of foreseeing scholars and thinkers. That means they had no practical method to apply these ideal thories into the actual life of human beings. However, people have learned much from mistakes they made so now we have a lot of welfare policies such as health insurance, educational policy for nation, economic assistance for disabled and elderly and so on.
On the top of that, people who are living in this era finally take care of our mental health. The lion's share of people in the past, did not have any time to consider or pay attention to their status of mentality. People were just busy because they had to work in order to make money to take care of their family. Thesedays, however, with the development of technology, people can have plenty of time to consider about their mental status. They are able to go to see the psychotheraphist when they need or they can even spend their time and money for their psychological treatment
The people who were living in the past era, may not think they are uncomfortable because they do not possess such machines, welfares and so on but in this era, which possess all of those things, it is reasonable for us to think we are living in the cozier life than our granfathers. |
