PO6 现代人比过去人更幸福? 初稿Vs修改稿
I believe that our contemporary life is easier and more comfortable than it was when our grandparents were young. I drew my conclusion out of comparison between three aspects, that is food, health and entertainment.
I believe that our contemporary lives are easier and more comfortable than the ones our grandparents lived. I base my conclusion from three aspects which are food, health and entertainment.
According to my grandparents, they suffered severe food shortage in their childhood owning to frequent natural disasters and wars. What's more, the family size at that time were usually big with grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and children living together; thus it was very difficult to feed the hungry mouths in a family. In comparison, food is the last thing which children nowadays need to worry about. Thanks to the great economic developement in China, people nowadays have a wide range of choices in the market with reasonable prices, including vegetables, fruits, poultry, pork, beef and etc. You can imagine, childhood with plenty of food is definately happier and comfortable than childhood with an empty stomach.
I believe that the quality and the quantity of food should be one of the happiness indexes for one’s life. Without enough to eat, how can one lead a happy life? According to my grandparents, they usually suffered from food shortage in their childhood, owning to frequent natural disasters and wars. A large number of children died because of malnutrition and other related diseases. In comparison, thanks to economic development in China, people nowadays enjoy a higher standard of material life with a wider range of choices in the market. Obviously, our modern life without worrying when the next meal will come is definitely easier and happier than the one our grandparents lived.
In terms of the issue of health, I believe that we have a better lives than our grandparents. One hundred years ago, the health service was poor, and people had to fought disease with their own immunity. Whenever an pandemic came, thousands of thousands people died owning to poor access to health service and a lack of medicine. On the countrary, people nowadays are luckier! We have eaier access to healthcare service and the quality of the service is excelent. People nowadays are enjoying a healthy life than before.
In terms of health, I believe that we have a better life than our grandparents. Many incurable diseases become treatable nowadays. And people are easier to get access to high quality health care service. Consequently, people enjoy longer lifespan than before. On the contrary, in my grandparent’s time, a majority of people suffered from bad health and had to die in early age due to poor sanitation and a lack of medicine.
Finally, People nowadays have more access to different kinds of entertainment facilities. Never to mention the a great number of clubs, bars, cinemas for the young generation, but also parks and gardens for the old generation! You can also enjoy youself when you surf on line, if you prefer to stay at home. However, our grandpareants had to worry about how to make their ends meet rathan than thinking of where to play! Obviously, our lives now are more comfortable!
Finally, people nowadays have more ways to entertain themselves than before. Outdoor facilities and locations are easy to access in the community, such as parks and gardens for the seniors and bars and clubs for the young. If you are a homebody, you can entertain yourself by watching TV or surfing the Internet. Compared with our grandparents, they had to worry about how to make their ends meet rather than thinking of where to play!
In conclusion, I tend to agree that we are having a better life than our grandparents; therefore, we should cherish what we have and live with a thankful heart.
