"The problems of modern society have led many people to complain: 'We live in terrible times.' Yet, given the choice, no one today would prefer to live in any other time."

 

It is true that problems of modern society have led to many people to complain chronically like we live in terrible time, and it is true up to some extent. We have problems like terrorism, which threats people every now and then, on one hand, and the other problems like too fast social life. However, given the choice, no one would prefer to llive in any other time, as modern society offers so much facilities and physical comforts like car, train and plane for transportation at one end, and computer technology for information exchange and automation on the other.

 

Admittedly, life was at very much ease fifty years back as there was no threat like terrorism to tackle with. Everyone was feeling safe while doing there day to day activity. Today the picture is not as beautiful as then, fifty years back. One can be attacked by terrorism while being at work, as it happned on 9/11 , thousand of people killed while they were at work. The same can happen while sitting in your drawing room and watching TV, as it happens in India, peoples are being killed in their home by terrorist.

This terrible situation one may induce people to think ‘We live in terrible time’. To add to this we are under tremendous social pressure for earning more and to get as high status as possible, which makes situation worse and add to frustration.

 

On the other hand, the modern society has lot to offer. First of all, physical comfort the modern society offers is at its highest level in comparison of past. Transportation is much easier, people have options like car , train and airplane to travel at different speed over varying distance. This helps people spare more time for other activity. the Speed of transportation has made world small enough to be traveled within a day.

 

To add to make the world even smaller we have revolutionary information technology.

It has helped people exchanging information form one corner of world to another just in minute via internet. This has eliminated the need to travel. One can shop without visiting store or mall. The same technology provides so many options for enhance entertainment for recreation. This suggests that the physical comfort it at its pinnacle, and this is the reason why people are not ready to live in any other time.

 

In the context of the situation we can say that we are ready to pay prize, in terms of social issues like terrorism of modern society, for the comfort offered by modern society.
