Sometimes, it amazes me of how much our era has evolved. If you look back in the 19th century, they do not have as much conveniences as we do now in terms of technologies and educations. Neither do they have washing machine to help them wash clothes nor a good wide LCD screen to watch international sports and 3D movies. Also, they do not have much educational opportunities as we do now whereby students are able to select their own choice of schools, colleges and universities.
During those days, many were not able to receive education from a very young age. If I think about it, probably many of the kids were only given opportunities to study till they reach standard 6 or F3. If you look at now, there are wide range of schools to choose from; private or public, vocational or the usual high schools, colleges and universities offering different types of courses from arts, engineering, businesses, medical health sciences all the way down to theological studies. So, if you ask me aren't we are fortunate enough to be living in the 20s....I do feel so. :)
Despite of the rapid development we see today, we can also see the bad sides of the world we live in . Crime rate increases everywhere throughout the world and with new technologies being developed, there are several out there misusing them to their advantage...eg, hackers, burglars and drug dealers. For some reason, I was wondering why do they have to exist.....if they were to cause so much troubles, shouldn't they know that what they did were wrong? Though death rate due to health has decreased significantly over the past decades, we still get people who are reckless and oblivious to their safety especially driving.
For weather and the global state, I'm sure you can feel the heat getting to you as there are less nature around with concrete buildings everywhere, global warming and the world's temperature increasing over the few years. Wars still happen today but I'm grateful enough that the world has come to their senses to fight for peace rather than being conquerors over one another. Through that, not only will they benefit the country itself but other nations as well.
I know I'm just a tiny little person in the zillion thousands of people out there....But I hope that at least I can do what I can to make certain changes to the people associated with me and the surroundings' I live in. Coz you might never know the people who have changed turns out to be successful or being huge contributors to the country.
P/S: will say lot more after I watch my favourite Japanese drama' Itazura Na Kiss Love in Tokyo'
