Obviously, both cars and airplanes have brought great changes to our society. Some people think that airplanes have made a greater impact on society than cars, while others disagree. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that effect airplanes have had on society far surpassed that of cars. There are several reasons as follows.
To begin with, the advent of airplane is influenced in the travel field and industry field. Before inventing airplanes, people had the way to go travels with ships which are only the way to go other countries, but it had many problems such as costs, time, foods, many workers who are cleaning the room and cooking foods for the passengers. However, this problem is resolved by the advent of airplanes, and additionally this effect in the industry as it makes many jobs such as travel guides, mechanics, flight attendants, and etc. In this way, the airplane is influenced many industry` fields, which helps to generally improve the area.
Secondly, airplanes have enabled globalization to thrive, which was almost impossible in the generation of cars and ships due to the cost and the distance. In the past, countries, whether small or big, had problems with summit because they needed lots of time to manage it which is resolved by the airplane. When countries are making the global laws such as the Geneva convention, the United Nations convention, the nation`s leaders easily visited the summit place. That is why I think airplanes to help the globalization.
To sum up, airplanes demonstrated a greater impact on overseas travel and globalization. In this regard, I believe that airplanes have made more influence on society than cars have.
