Do people from the past time are much friendlier than people are in today?

Today’s blog topic is do people from the past time are much friendlier than people are in today? Some people believe that there was racist at the past time and it can be looks like people in the past are not much friendlier like now. However, I firmly believe that people in present time are much friendlier than the past

First of all, people now are ready to share their knowledge and material, not only to friends, but also to strangers. For example, there are so many forums where members upload books and share experiences: we have TOEFL forums, where people enclose free TOEFL lessons; we have IT forums, where people post the latest information about technology. Almost of members in the forum do not know each other, but they come to take and send necessary material to each other for free. Nowadays, people have become more isolated from others. Due to development technology, people can acquire a wide variety of information, and entertainment through TV or Internet at home. To be sure, technologies bring people a more convenient and comfortable life than before. Whereas, it leads people to a more secluded lives as well. At present, it’s an ordinary phenomenon that people, who live in a same neighborhood, barely know each other, even the people just next to the door. In contrary, in the old days, people used to chat and share their life with neighbors, and even acquainted with the folks several streets away.

   Second of all, people now are willing to help the others for non-profit. Let’s take this website as a typical example. Here, linguistic scholars found enthusiastic teachers who review their essays, tell them what they’ve done wrong and motivate them to study harder. Besides, nowadays, there are so many humanitarian who spend time and money to help disadvantage children and people who suffer difficulties in life such as homeless people or people in disaster area. These days, there have been some strong debates on whether or not the people in the old days were more kindly than people nowadays. Different people have different opinions as regard this controversy. From my point of view, the people in the departed era were genuinely more friendly than people today. The reasons for this view goes as follows:

Besides, people appear much busier today. The time they stay at their workplace is far more than that with their family or friends. They hardly have time for others, even their friends. On the contrary, the life, in the past days, is more relaxed. And people have more time to concern about others’ feeling.
To sum up, based on the discussion above, we can come to conclusion that people’s lives are stressed and isolated nowadays. Those made them pay lesser attention to others. Differing from today, in the old days, the people have a relatively relaxed life, and could be more willing to concern about others..

In conclusion, I strongly believe that people now are friendlier than, or at least as friendly as, people were in the past. It is true that people now have less face-to-face communication, but they still give the others a nice treatment in different ways: they share their asset; they help each other; and they treat the others as politely as possible. Using high technology and telecommunication means, they still deliver a beautiful message: the message of friendship.
