To What Extent Had Life Changed for People Between 1750 and 1900 (Prevention of Diseases)…
100years ago children were more likely to live in poverty causing malnutrition. There were not immunisations like there are today which meant children were more likely to become ill or even die from diseases. Children didn’t have access to hospital services like they do now. If someone broke a bone it was left to heal on its own. Homely remedies were used more often rather than specific medication.…
Today, it appears to me like people don't exactly know how to do many things on their own. Getting from one place to another needs to be looked up on maps, because people cannot use their own sense of direction. Instead of calculating something simple in their head, they use the calculator that is conveniently in their pocket. Instead of enjoying the moment people are in,…
Ashley, Pyae Phyo and Woodrow further add that as a result of climate change, larger population are at risk of an increase in malaria, particularly in tropical highland areas. Dasgupta (cited in World Health Organisation 2018) findings show that an estimated death of 445,000 and 216 million malaria cases occurred worldwide in 2016, while 70% of the deaths occurred in children under the age of five causing heartbreak amongst communities. Hence, Malaria No More (2017) notes that as a result of the high number of malaria cases adults with malaria are too weak which leads to a loss of productivity meaning they cannot provide enough food for their family, therefore they remain poor and do not have enough food to eat which makes them more vulnerable to the disease and continues to keep them in a circle of poverty. Prothero (2001) explains that as the population continues to increase more people move across boundaries which have led to reinfection into areas cleared of malaria as well as exposing the non-immune people to the risk of an infection, therefore, they complicate the control measures of malaria. Also, Malaria No More emphasises that malaria can create a huge economic burden for countries as tourist…
The life expectancy of people around the world has increased during the last 100 years. The technology change and the way that people live are the important reason. It is said that the development of the medical science make great responses. In 1900s, most of people around the world had suffered from fatal disease such as smallpox, malaria, and so on. Furthermore, the invention of penicillin has also change the world. It is such an efficient medicine that can cure most of the bacteria-caused disease. It even helped allies win the World War 2 against axis, which has no antibiotic to deal with the injuries. Moreover, the developed countries have more medical resources and better welfare policies…
When it comes to society, technology has played a major role. Communication was merely done face to face. People now are using facetime ( video chat application in iphone ) and through social networking websites like facebook and myspace, you can find almost anyone on the planet with ease. Problems become complex with increase in…
Disease is still the cause o many deaths, but not as many as before. Researchers, scientists, and doctors now know what the cause is for many diseases and how to prevent them. People today still live in places where the air is not clean, and there are places where water is still not safe to drink. However, now people are finding ways to create a healthier planet, wit cleaner air and water, and are trying to fix the mistakes made during the industrial revolution. Today, people are aware of their personal health, and those who are unhealthy will do what they can to get better. Many people receive all the proper nutrients they are supposed to have. Although most people today have much better health than those during the industrial revolution, there are still improvements that need to be made in order for everyone to be…
Some wish that they could turn back time to the good old days, but are the old days that good that they are worth reliving? The title of this article answers that question: “Don't Look to the 'Good Old Days': 31 Ways Life Is Better than Ever Before.” Despite the several problems our generation is facing today, such as global warming, poverty, inequality, corruption, and traffic, the world is actually improving. Life is much better and easier now than it used to be, and the author has given thirty-one reasons to support this. Some reasons include the increase in life expectancy, literacy rate, minimum wage, health care, and the decrease in crime rate, poverty rate, global hunger index, and racism. The concepts of electricity, air conditioning,…
Nowadays, it is commonly said that life is better than it was 50 years ago, but… is it a reality? In fact, the different lifestyles cannot be defined as superior or inferior, but it is a truth acknowledged that there are many changes from 1970 up the present.…
Richard has pointed out an important issue that 21st-century face. I have never felt so much pressure and stress before. But when I came to U.S, I am constantly stressed out and busy. When Richard mentioned the third world countries does not have this much problem, it made me think that is really true. Everything in a slow pace and people enjoys life.…
Today’s society is very different from the society that was here hundreds of years ago. Society changes everyday as things progress. Technology global economy and increase in the world’s population are great factors in the way things change. I do not believe it will affect me much but I do believe it will affect my son, and more for those generations after. As technology advances the more ways we make our lives easier. Not only does it help with our daily routines, but technology also helps in making sure that we can live our lives longer than was possible before. Because technology has advanced it has also made it easy for the world to communicate with each other. For example: a doctor in the U.s is working on a cure but is not able to get the formula just right, and at the same time a doctor in Europe is doing the same thing. Before these two doctors would not have been able to collaborate with each other, but with the technology we have now they are. People now can also have a company anywhere in the world without having to be there. Having the world’s population increase makes it that we have a higher chance to advance as a civilization, but it can also affect us by causing more diseases to spread, harder times getting a job, or a place to live. Now that the world’s population has increased and it’s becoming more global, cultures are now becoming mixed. People are taking what they learn as children and mix it with the way their significant other was taught. People are now seeing that many cultural’s histories are similar. Because cultural are being mixed there is a lot more people who are interested in learning other…
Q1. I believe that people are really getting smarter in this society. In the past, our ancestor can use some raw materials to cook and farm for existence. Through the time, people also have more innovation and invention about the technology, education, etc that have people to improve the quality of life.…
We live in a highly sophisticated world where everything is almost achievable. There would probably have been no changes between the world of today and that of three centuries ago if necessity and serendipitous discoveries had not driven men to achieve great things. Science and technology have had huge positive effects on every society. The world today has gone digital, even human thought. Our world has been reduced to a global village and is better for it.…
3: More knowledge about different cultures: So,e years back, people are not use to travel internationally and due to this many people were not aware of different cultures and traditions around the world but now people do travel and this increases the knowledge of people to understand about various cultures…
Modernization also brings out changes. The influx of foreign movies, reading materials, machines and other inventions introduce changes, because of modern means of communication and transportation, people become well-informed and aware of what is happening in their immediate environment and around the world. Modern appliances change the working habits of people. Whereas in the past, it took people hours to travel by Kalesa, but today it takes minutes only to travel from one town to the nearest city. This gives an opportunity to work and study in the neighboring town or city. (et.al.1982)…
