Depends. If you are living in Sub-Saharan Africa, then, no, not really. If you are living in Vancouver, life is pretty good. As a whole, that's a pretty broad question. It is better to the extent that modern medicine keeps people alive longer. It's worse because all those people that are living longer cost billions of dollars in tax payer money making it difficult to pay for other much need social services. It's better in that it's easier to make and distribute food. It's worse because we have 190,000,000 people in the US that you could easily call %26quot;fat%26quot;.
It's all relative.
Is the world changing for the better or not ??
Not.
Is the world changing for the better or not ??
Nope, it's NOT!!!
very slowly for the better, very VERY slowly
No. It's getting worse. Uncontrollable wars, morons in power, Iran getting ready to nuke, generally stupid people who can't spell or put a coherent sentence together.
i think just science is developing
Blame George Bush, I do for everything evil, because he is.
Yes, the world is changing for the better, but the minimum wage for American citizens needs to be raised, and we need to have national health care as well; people would then have more ability to make a positive difference in the world.
It is interesting to note that if you go back to the writings of ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, China, India, and so on you will find plenty of people who wrote about the decline of civilization during that time! In fact, as far as I've been able to find out, there always seems to be more negative opinions as to the state of civilization rather than positive, no matter the culture or the era. Yet, we bumble on. I do offer you the hope though, that as you age you begin to realize (even as you are complaining of the youth of today (even as you are remembering that you used to be a rebellious youth)) THAT there are more interesting things left to be done other than complain about the decrepit state of civilization.
