It might be widely accepted fact that since the total number of car cannot be compared with planes, entire impact of cars for economics far outweighs those of planes. Even so, I am in favor of the suggestion that the planes have had huge influence on communities, especially two reasons: to facilitate economical advance by geometric progression and to make world mature in cultural field.
To begin with, the airplanes are contributed to boosting economics and trades regardless of distance, even continent. This is because it makes it possible for us to move and go and return freely in the earth, which result in novel trade methods such as importing raw material more easier and faster. Thus, it enables to make world distance more nearly. According to the statistics conducted by the Seoul National University of Korea in 2006, Korea economic scale have steadily increased since when the first plane fly to the sky in 1950. This is because our nation can start active trade by plan with other country, which is hard to be possible if plan did not exist in our nation due to limited transportation, such as France, USA, and Great Germany.
In addition, taking plan service gives the opportunity to meet other culture more easier. It is obvious that it is hard to know how many different cultures there are because definite transportation deters people from going abroad simply. Thus, it makes people take less prejudices and misunderstanding. For example, we already know that Olympic is held every 4 years. If plan did not exist in the world, the participation would have to prepare their moving before several months because they have to use ship or train to participate in Olympic and experience each unique culture.
In conclusion, although car seems great effect on the world community, I believe that planes also have same or bigger impulse compared with car, on account of the reasons that I mentioned above. |
