Some people might think that success in the past was more easy than in this modern society. However, I am skeptical about this statement because I believe that to succeed in the past, people had to conquer high barriers such as constrained classes and poor institution of the past. In this perspective, I will give two reasons supporting my opinion as follow.
To begin with, in contrast to today that permit everyone fair chance for success. the environments or circumstance surrounding ordinary people was strictly restricted in the past. Obviously, it was biggest challenges to whom wanted to succeed. For example, let's suppose that there were very talented one on regular class. In fact, although he or she might had enough ability to grip high position in that society, he or she would not be successful because in the past, mighty authorities suppress him or her not to approach high position. Since, generally those who were in high position hoping that never lost their power would control other on the rules advantageous only to themselves.
Secondly, today there are numerous chances for people to catch to succeed. As technologies has developed and many different kinds of occupations have emerged, people can choose their job among diverse works. Also, high education are provided to all of us. These conditions indicate that all of us can have a chances and options to be successful in the society regardless of class and other environmental elements.
To sum up, people in this society have much more potential to stand on high position because fair and affluent chances are waiting for us. People no longer need to appeal the need of their restrict of environment in this democratic society. Consequently, for this reason, I do not agree with the main point that success in the past was more east than in the modern society. |
