Some people think that human history has been a journey from ignorance to knowledge. Others argue that this underestimates the achievements of ancient cultures and overvalues our achievements. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The argument of whether we have achieved more than our ancestors is yet to settle. While the proponents claim that our accomplishments are more valuable than ancient men, the other side argues that our achievements are merely overvalued. In my opinion, modern advancements are more noticeable, particularly in governance and medicine. History tells us that people used to live in houses made of mud, bamboos, and stones. Even though the houses were made of basic components, the architecture laid the foundation for the buildings we construct today.

Similarly

although

in the beginning, people used stones and spears to hunt for the animals, they later learned the ways of farming and developing weapons

such

as bows and arrows for hunting. Once they had a safe place to live and food on the table, they made advancements in other fields which are still used by us. To illustrate, wheels, which was invented a long time ago,

in most of the machines today. There is no denying that the inventions of the historic men were valuable. Yet, the advancements modern men have made in the past century alone are remarkable. Today, we not only live in safe

houses but

houses, but

have rights

such

as the right to defend, marriage, etc.

This

is a big achievement. In the past, a king was the supreme power and all laws were made to protect the people in high positions.

However

, now we have a democratic process, which protects the rights of everyone.

For example

, if someone feels they have been wronged by the state or a company, they sue a state or the company. One prominent example of

this

is where a woman won a case from a multinational company for serving a very hot coffee which burnt the old lady mouth. In conclusion, the people in the past made progress and invented things which are is still used today, but the effect that modern developments have on the general people more significant. I strongly believe, today’s technology and systems are more valuable.
