Is there no better time to be alive than now?

Agree
Disagree
·       A wider range of entertainment is available than ever before ( ex: cinema, computer games, sport etc.)
·       Life expectancy has increased due to advances in medicine and hygiene
·       Better quality of life: transportation, access to the information through technology (the Internet, mobile phones, plasma TV screens)
·       People of different cultures mix more with each other and there are more opportunities to travel and learn about different cultures
·       The evolution of people’s mentalities and greater equality for women, minorities and so on (although not everywhere in the world)
 
·       Life is more stressful; there is more pressure and competition in school and at work
·       More pollution and serious environmental issues threatening our future
·       Societies are more alienating and atomised: there is less of a sense of community than in the past – people are lonelier, there are more marriage break-ups
·       Crime and violence have increased?
·       People have less time to spend with friends and families – human communication is often reduced to social networking online, which is far less fulfilling than face to face interaction
