You’ve read a newspaper article saying how much worse life is now than it was 50 years ago. What do you think- Has the Quality of Life Improved in the Last Fifty Years?

Life has changed drastically in last fifty years. The change may be better or worse that is a controversial issue. However, some people living around us claim that the life has become more progressive now compare to last fifty years. But I do believe that the quality of life has become regressive nowadays. 

Firstly, the relationship between the people has become worse nowadays. People are growing quite cold and unfriendly. Even the family members treat each other as a stranger. There is no proper communication among them. People nowadays mostly prefer to have small family instead of living in a joint family.

Similarly, the attitude of young people has been grown negatively. Most of the young people are more likely to impolite today. Their language as well as behavior is quite indecent. They wanted to have more freedom and be independent to family at very young age. Beside these, they are blessed with the sense of irresponsibility. The most important thing is that there is a lack of patience in young people nowadays.

In a same way, the quality of environment has declined to a great extent. Air as well as water has been polluted. Ozone layer is depleting continuously. Beside these, climatic condition has been degraded. Loss of natural habitat and different species is often seen as a major problem nowadays. Environmental disease like asthma is more likely to seen today.

Likewise above, the level or standard of culture has also been decreased. There is an adverse influence of western culture on our traditional culture. The trend of following our own traditional culture is missing nowadays. Instead of using the traditional greeting word like ‘namaste’ or ‘namaskar’, people prefer to say ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ for greeting others. Beside these, many cultural practices has been lost. Ethnic and religious conflict has taken place in various parts of the world in last fifty years.

Similarly, the standard of education has become worst nowadays. Today’s education is more impractical comparing to last fifty years. Nowadays, people hold high ranked degree but lacks in actual knowledge. The technique of taking examination is quite improper today. There is strong influence of politics in education system.

Lastly, the condition of old people has grown worst in last fifty years. There is feeling of loneliness in old people. Old people feel alone in life as they have no one to talk with and to share their joy and sorrow. Most of the old people live in old age home instead of living with their family. The most important thing is that the life expectancy of old age people has decreased in last fifty years.

However, the change seems to be better in certain issues likewise development in medical facilities. But the main thing to be focus is that there are more worst changes that have taken place in the life in last fifty year.
