The older
era
is believed to be more relaxed than the recent
era
.
To begin
with, the older
era
environment is not as stable as it is now.
Then
, the choice of
entertainment
in that
era
is very limited. For those reasons, I strongly disagree with saying the older time is happier than the newer one.
The environment in the early ages, especially before and after the World War in 1945, was very unstable.
This
is caused by the raging battle that destroyed most population infrastructures. Henceforth, societies were stressed as they were still in recovery, particularly with their economies.
Additionally
, nations that were greatly affected by the warfare are in crisis.
Thereupon
, the
people
in those nations suffer a heavy loss not only with their economy but
also
with their families as some of them are the victims of bloodshed. It must be remembered that in 1946, a year after the battle ended, countries on all continents suffered an event called the great depression. A point overlooked in that event is the economy as it collapses is deprivation within societies, putting them in a state of survival. With
this
in mind, it makes me wonder how stressful it is to live in
such
a generation.
The limited variations of
entertainment
in that age make that even worse.
However
, the younger generations argue that
entertainment
at that age could make
people
happier.
Although
this
may be true, some
entertainment
is only reached by upper-class societies because of their pricey tags.
Therefore
, the lower one had a limited type of
entertainment
and the media
entertainment
was not as fancy as today. To put it in perspective, nowadays
people
have access to a plethora of
entertainment
options with their gadgets,
whereas
, in the early days, those had not been founded yet. The most compelling evidence to prove
this
is from the historical data from 1945 that shows 8 of 10
people
in that year suffered depression.
Thus
, most
people
in that year have plenty of huge problems to handle, making them not as happy as
people
in recent years.
In conclusion, Most
people
in the early days do not enjoy their life
due to
the unstable condition of their environment,
not to mention
the limited source of leisure media to be chosen to overcome the stress from living in
such
conditions. Because of the corresponding problem, I strongly do not agree with the statement saying
people
in recent years are more stressed than in the early years.
