Some people say that now is the best time in history to be living. What is your opinion about this? What other time in history would be interesting to live in?

Quite many people nowadays tend to say that the best

time

to live is now, compared to other periods of history. To my mind,

such

a point is totally relevant considering the fact that there is no physical way to travel back in

time

and we do not have an opportunity to choose the

time

when we would like to live in. Apart from that, there are some additional arguments that can prove

this

point as well.

Firstly

,

life

expectancy has dramatically increased by 20 years on average during the

last

70 years due to the extensive development of the medical industry.

Secondly

, thanks to globalization and technological progress, individuals have a wider range of career and

life

opportunities than our ancestors.

However

, there are some periods in history when it might be interesting to live in.

For instance

, the age of exploration when humanity actively searched our planet for new lands. Despite the lower quality of

life

, it was a

time

when lots of people and countries were driven by the will of discovery. Still, it was not just a period when new regions appeared on the map, but

also

a

time

of great opportunities when brave individuals who are not afraid of challenges could change the world,

this

is something that makes it similar to nowadays. Now is considered to be the best

time

to live by many people. Despite the fact that there is no

time

machine that lets us make any kind of comparison ourselves, certain historic statistics like the average duration of

life

can confirm

this

statement in general. Yet, other ages of history had their specific aspects that might be interesting to be experienced.
