▶ Your Answer :
Some
people think problems that young generation at present have confronted make
their lives more difficult than the lives of the past young generation.
However, in my opinion, the world today is easier for young generation to live
in compared to the past when our young grandparents were young. There are two
reasons.
To
begin with, our lives become more convenient than our grandparents' lives due
to the advancement of the technologies. Compared to the past, technologies in
the fields of transportation, communication, and computer have been
significantly progressed. Young generation at present benefit from these
advanced technologies. The technology enables them to travel abroad for
relieving stress, communicate with their friends wherever they are, and gain
knowledge necessary for their lives. As a result, the world today is much
easier for young generation to live in compared to the past. For example, when
my grandparents were young, the only way to apply graduate schools in United
States was via mail. Since there was no computer and internet, my grandparents
could not know the status of their application and even whether the application
manager received the mail. However, thanks to the technologies, now I can check
the status of my application and I can take further measure if the document is
missing.
On
top of that, the world at present become more stable than the world in the past
when our grandparents were young. When our grandparents were young, the world
was full of uncertainties. There were many war throughout the world, and many
pandemic diseases were existed. In the case of wars, many young people lost
their lives or were worried about their lives in the past. Unlike the past,
wars are less likely to break out in these days and many disease can be cured
thanks to the advancement of the medicines. Therefore, it can be claimed that
the world today is better to live in for young generation. The research was
conducted by Korean History Center to identify whether the world become better
places for young generation at present than the past. The result admitted that
the problems that young generation at present have struggled such as job
searching cannot be ignored. However, compared to the past with wars, diseases,
and economic crisis, the world become better places for young generation.
To
sum up, taking convenient lives due to advanced technologies and stable,
peaceful world at present into account, I agree with the statement. |
