Do you thinkk this time we live is better then before?

Answer 1

Hello dear!
We do have many advantages compared to other times, but also there are others we lack!
The most important is to improve ourselves, based on what we have!

Answer 2

No.

It is not nostalgia that makes "the past" a better answer. Nor is it those who will not relinquish the past the hope for the future. Though one must never endeavor to return to the past, lest one not move forward, but rather learn its lessons, and not just in an historical sense.

Consider the political realm of the US in the recent past. When election time rolls around, we see a map of the US, demographically laid out in "red" states and "blue" states, for conservative and liberal states, respectively.

You know what? We already tried that. Oh, the color "blue" was represented, but the counterpart color was "gray." Color coding didn't work then, and it won't work now.

The element missing in American culture today is precisely the concept of "sacrifice". Never mind generation "X", it is the "Me" generation now at the reins. The result? American Idol, Survivor and the "I'll do anything for a million dollars" show. But people won't even make an attempt to avail themselves of the right to vote.

Considering this sad social commentary, how can we begin to think that the here and now is better than it once was, whether one experienced the better days or not?

Answer 3

No-and it's because of the economy and the tremendous greed of the Bush Administration. It affects the middle class (what middle class?). Food, clothing, gas, housing, health care, utility bills-all of it affects us and it gets harder to just make it everyday.
No wonder people are so unhappy and don't have any hope.

Our parents, and grandparents had tough times, yes. But they were still able to live the American Dream by purchasing homes and property, and save money besides. Something today's generation is finding it impossible to do.

Answer 4

One detail to take into account is that the past always seems better because the tension of what to those times seemed unsolved problems, now appears trivial. The present will appear polished and understandable in the future.
