When is it easier to live?

I`d like to write about nowadays life and about life of our parents. Which variant is easier?  I would like to start with education. Learning was always important  for our parents as much as for us . However, what can we say about employment? Well, nowadays many people even being educated can`t find their place in life just because there are not enough places of work in our modern world. Let`s have a look at the USSR, what do we see? Almost every student, who had graduated from the Uni has his own place of work. The country takes care about people being employed and affording their living. Of course, here wins USSR.

Let`s continue. I think that many of us feel like travelling around the world. In USSR, it was hard to go abroad for common people, the government didn`t want anyone seeing the better life of “Decaying West”. Nowadays, there are no hindrances for citizens to go to any country, which they will choose.  Of course, you won`t go anywhere without having enough money, but anyway, now people have a freedom of choice whether they want to go abroad or not. The winner is 21^st century world.

Being rich today is easier because of introducing of the World Wide Web. The great example of getting a lot of money just for your charm and intelligence is YouTube bloggering. The access to the Internet has every person who lives in advanced country. Teens sitting at home and recording videos earn huge sums of money. They can afford buying expensive stuff, their own apartments helping their parents and relatives just being in age under 18 years old. It`s amazing!  Was there any chance of getting so much money in the age of 18 in USSR? I don`t think so. Again, one point goes to modern era.

I can keep telling about both the past and the present, but I am pretty tired today =)

So, I think there are more opportunities to live the better life now, than in the past. Anyway, it will make no difference us arguing about what is better, because we live now in 21^st century and should do our best to achieve something TODAY!
