▶ Your Answer : In the world, there are various people who have different opinions each other, living together. Some people might think that cars have made a greater impact on society, while others think that airplanes have made more important impact. However, I believe that airplanes have had more powerful impact than cars for two reasons.
First, the invention of airplanes has made global business to be possible, because companies can use global resources, thanks to airplanes. For example, I have been working in a garment manufacturer for three years, and I go for business trips to Bangladesh factory, four to five times a year, even though my office is in Korea. Without airplanes, I would not need to go to overseas factories to monitor production. This is because my company could not use relatively lower cost of labour in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the factory usually arranges or purchases most of raw materials from Taiwan, and this would not be possible if there was no airplanes.
Second, airplanes help people to save a lot of time, especially when they are traveling. To be specific, airplanes are much faster than cars, so people can spend more time to relax or tour, than stay in cars for a long hours. Whenever I go to Jeju-island for trip, I always prefer to take an airplane, as it takes only one hour by flight from my home to Jeju. If I choose a car to get there, I would spend more than six hours in the car, which makes me extremely exhausted, due to long driving hours. If I spent a quarter of a day in the car, I could not concentrate and enjoy my vacation.
To sum up, I think airplanes have had a huge effect on society in terms of global business, and saving traveling time.
