Do you think that the problems we face today are more difficult than previous generations?

Question

Why or why not?

Any examples to support your claim?

Answer 1

absolutely. people were more kind and friendly. no drugs, less crime, less emphasis on s*x and beauty, less traffic, better people. the one world system is reducing some countries to much lower standards to accomodate the lesser qualified population. this has all resulted in riots, wars and degeneration.

Answer 2

absolutely not. Past generations had to worry about if there was a doctor anywhere near them, not whether or not they had an insurance card to get him a doctor to see them. They had to worry about whether or not there was enough wild game to get them through another winter in their current location. They had to worry about whether the winter would be too cold to tolerate. There are sooo many opportunities nowadays that most people (in the US anyways) never worry too much about where their next meal or clothes will come from. Many of the problems we face today are easily solved by modern technology whereas, many years ago, there wasn't much technology at all to help find wanted/missing persons, make medicine, make clothing, get food, fight wars without a significant loss of life, etc.

Answer 3

No. The only thing that made it difficult is the complexity of the problems we face due to modern technology. Life before is a lot simpler as compared to the present which is why problems before are only simple.

Answer 4

I think not. We've better public hygiene and better drugs now than ever. Our western values are carrying us through a golden age, it's wonderful.
