Some people says that life in the past was easier to live compare to nowadays; however thinking that is ridiculous, i firmly belive that it is more comfortable for people to live in nowadays. This is because some facilities, such as apartments, department stores or hospitals and the mounted economical status in our nation made us to live comfortably.
To begin with, developed building technics enable us to live easily nowadays. In other words, in the past, people’s habitats were miserable due to a lack of building technics. A story of my grandparents can be the best example to support my opinion. 50years ago, my grandparents lived in a house which made of straws and timbers. Without doubting, there were so many insects ,especially termites, that they could not live in their house comfortably. However, in nowadays, they live in apartment and they are able to lasting really cozy lives, since there is no interferences of insects. As a result, although they have another house in rural area, they do not want to go back to that area, since they are happy to live in here.
In addition, thanks to the rapid improvment in financial status in nowadays, we can buy or eat anything as we want. Putting it differently, in our grandparents’ generation, the country was too poor to satisfy people’s requirment. Thus, people were always hungry, since there were not enough money to buy food or commodities. According to the survey conducted by Tokyo University, 83%of responders who lived 50years ago answered that their lives are have been developed, since they can afford to buy food or products whatever they want. Even one of them said that his life in past was so terrible that he do not want to rethink.
In a nutshell, it is manifest that lives in the past were healthy to live, since there were no air-pollution or water contamination. However, in terms of both more comfortable residences and satisfaction of people’s needs, modern lives is better than lives in the past. |
