Some
people argue that if they had lived earlier, they could have lived more
comfortable and easier. Nonetheless, others strongly disagree with the above
notion. I belong to the latter side since gathering information and abundant
foods provide us more sufficient life compared to the past. The reasons and
example are as follows.
First
and the foremost reason would be due to the method of searching information.
Unlike present, when our grandparents were young, in order to get some
information, they must have to visit and investigate the place. For instance, to
identify how many people living in a certain area, they needed to go around and
had a survey. However, we could notice the population of the place by entering
the site of National Statistical Office, and clicking the computer mouse into
them now. What this example indicates us is that the way of collecting
information has transformed to much more convenient way.
Another
important reason is that there are much more nourishment in present. When my
grandparents were my age, Korea had a tremendous war against North Korea, which
referred as Korean War. My grandmother told me that owing to the Korean War,
food resources were limited to the rich, and most of people couldn’t ingest
adequate nutrition. Not only for this reason, but the fact that import and
export were rare at that time prohibited them to eat only domestic foods. In
addition, seasonal foods appeared merely on the certain season. Compared to the
past, even though strawberries are harvested on winter, because of developing
of agriculture techniques, we can taste them on summer, either. As shown in
this example, we have more food we can eat and it indicates we are living much
more advantageous.
In a nutshell, collecting information and abundant foods
provide us opportunity we can live easier and comfortable. For these reasons, I
firmly believe that these days life is more affluent than when my grandparents
were young.
