For the average person on Earth, has society improved in the last 100 years?

Answer 1

Absolutely not! Apart from the fact that people have become more aware of the negative impact racism has on society as a whole and doing a great job improving the situation by allowing more equality, people (as a whole) have lost lots of their manners, morals and class. The use of bad language has increased drastically and more discourteous behavior is noticeable; it's become more of a cultural norm in some places and more accepted than it was before. You don't have to be alert to notice the increase in profanities in the mass media: in films, books, on the Internet. TV, let alone has become swamped with shows revealing vulgarities and offensive materials. But what makes society's integrity diminishing more obvious is the fact that people have become a little used to it and some consider it "okay".

However, if it's a question of education, medicine, science and technology (bearing in mind how things nowadays are far easier than they were before), then yes, society has managed to improve (but maybe not at a rate it might have done so prior to the past century).

Though you must put in sight major issues in today's world that may have been the effect of things that happened throughout the past one hundred years; things like global warming, endless wars and disputes, over-population and famine.

Yes, but improved for the worse...! How many of us can breathe the free, pure air of the past....? Leave alone ur science and technology...
