The overall quality of life in most societies has never been better than at the present time because of recent advancements in such areas as business and technology.”




Has the overall quality of life in most societies never been better than at the present time, as the speaker contended? To some extent, I agree with her view because our lives changed a lot due to technology development. However, the speaker ignores the negative effect the advancement of business and technology bring. What is more, the overall quality is hard to gauge .In my opinion, our life quality is no doubt increase because of the advancement, but it is hasty to contend that overall quality has never been better than at the present. On balance, my points of agreement and contention with the speaker involve in fundamental and deep analysis, as discussed below.



On the one hand, one is likely to admit that this statement, although suffers from some obvious drawbacks, possesses some merits primarily in some special cases in which the implicit rationale behind it accords with common sense and our everyday experience as human beings, hence, is partially indisputable. In business’s aspect, international trade facilitate the transaction of goods in different parts of the world, making it possible that people in China, like me, can enjoy NIKE shoes made in the USA. In technology’s aspect, for example, people can communicate more freely and deeply due to the emergence of the Internet and some software. What’s more, women, used to do a lot of house work, deliberate from it because of the invention of dish washers and washing machines and so on. They can spend their time on more meaningful things, such as getting a degree in their favorite subject, instead of doing the boring housework.



On the other hand, though our life quality to a certain extent increase, technology may bring in some negative effect at the same time. For one thing, some problems emerge resulted from it. For the other, it is hard to judge whether our overall quality of life has increased since different people may hold different criteria. For example, these days, people are disturbed by the junk mails some company sending them or embarrassed by security issues about their credit card. These problems, largely due to the development of technology, however, never existed before. On the other period of the history, people may complain about they do not have shelters or enough cloth or too heavy a work load. Recently, we already have air-conditioned house, special designed cloth and tremendous applications to use. The matter is that different time may exist deferent problems. It is hard to conclude which period of the history has the highest overall life quality, since it is hard to gauge.



In conclusion, since the issue whether overall quality of the life recently is better than any time is a complex one, there is no certain answers. According to me, I partially agree that business and technology bring us lots of changes, but hardly can I agree with the speaker that our overall life quality now is the best.
