▶ Your Answer : Some people think that we are less happy and satisfied than people who were in the past. However, in my opinion, I think that we live a better life than before since we can have many opportunities to do a lot of things and our life is more convenient. To begin with, we have more chances to experience. These days, we can go wherever we want in a day. Transportation systems are now evolving, so the world is becoming one. In fact, this gives me the opportunities to visit a lot of countries and meet various kinds of people. For example, I visited to the university of Kyoto in Japan last year. It only took about 1 hour to go to the Japan, and I met a different kinds of people. We talked about our country, culture, environment and this was really happy experience for me because I could understand and communicate with them. If there had not developed air plane or other transportation, I would not visited Japan and experienced such worth things. On top of that, life is becoming more convenient. The development of technology makes it easy for people to save their time. Can you imagine a world without the computer or refrigerator? According to a study conducted by the university of Korea, they found that the mother who do household chores today is better able to rest and less able to sick than those in the past. They found that in the past, it takes about 10 hours to finish house chores like cleaning the house, laundry, cooking but it takes only 5 hours to finish this works these days. Also, the level of depressing is diminished today compared to the 80’s. It demonstrated that they can have more time to rest and do another things for themselves. To sum up, today we live in the world where there are more chance to experience and have many convenient things. In this regard, I think that we are more happy and satisfied than people who were in the past. |
