▶ Your Answer : The world has changed dramatically since the 20th century, and that change shows no sign of slowing down. What used to be only in people's imagination thirty years back is now occurring people's lives. Despite those changes, some argue that people nowadays live worse lives than when our grandparents were children, given that people do not enjoy same level of moral and psychological aspect of happiness. However, I disagree with this idea because people living 21th century enjoy better technology and better provision of food. To begin with, people nowadays are provided with various kinds of technology that enriches their lives. Since the industrial revolution, the world has seen great changes in almost every sectors of the world. Transportation has been made faster and easier, computers do a lot of what used to be done by human's hand, the world is better connected that it is considered normal to go to other countries without having much trouble. Even though our grandparents lives saw certain level of changes as well, they did not enjoy as much of technologies as people nowadays do. To be specific, smart phone is one of the must have gadgets today, due to all kinds of convenience it offers to us. We can check minute based news at our finger tips, baking transaction is done using smart phones, making friends with people half way around the world using chatting site and we can utilize tons of conveniences like dictionaries installed in smart phones. Can you imagine those that can be done at our finger tips used to be done all separately in person when our grandparents were children? These inconveniences made their lives not only ineffective but also very uncomfortable. On top of that, as world is becoming more and more globalized and systematical, every day concern of what we are going to eat is easier than ever. Brazil has good environment for growing coffee, Korea produces a lot of apples and U.S.A is biggest country In terms of corn production. Before, people thought of consuming what is native to that country as normal and they just were satisfied with it. However, since the transporting goods between countries has been made easier, more countries have treaties signed and food production has increased because of advanced technology, we now enjoy more variety of food at a cheaper cost. For example, when my grandparents buy bananas, he always says the cost of banana used to be five times that of today's. This is because of the fact that at that time, the cost of transportation was far more expensive than today is. Considering food is one of the core aspect of people's lives, it is obvious people today enjoy better kind of lives than before. To conclude, there's no doubt that people today live better lives than before. This is mainly because they are provided with better technology which makes their lives much easier and effective and human's major concern is dealt with easier and more conveniently than ever before. |
