I see that as enslavement of human. Humans are beasts, wild animals and their palce is in nature. What are we becoming - bunch of lazy, fat, McDonalds - addicted degenerics who watch internet porn all day, cultural decadents ? It is cultural uniformism that destroys every sing of creativity and individualism. I don't want to be entertained by someone else, i don't want other peoples ideas in my head. I like strong, free spirits! Side: No they are not more fortunate

The younger generation today is indeed more fortunate in terms of the education they receive. Some students in the past were not even able to receive proper education due to poor facilities provided by the village or region, in the context of Singapore. As Singapore was a long way from its current developed state, Families struggled financially and thus their children had to start working full or part time from an early age. Students in today's society go through compulsory education under the Compulsory Education Act in October 2000 where students are required to attend 6 years of primary school education, where students cultivate knowledge for thus able to earn more in the future with better occupations. Therefore, the younger generation today is more fortunate than their predecessors in terms of the education level they are able to attain. Side: Yes they are more fortunate

I believe so. Although I hate iTechnology, I think it's awesome that these kids are growing up in a world where so much of it exists. Not to mention the medical advancements we have now, people live longer today than they did 100 years ago, and that's saying something. Also, everyone is so sensitive now, that they are way less likely to be hit by a shoe for getting bad grades that I must say of freaking course they have it better. Lucky bastards.

However, in the present days, with the invention of handphones, it brings about more convenience as people could communicate with one another wherever they are and at anytime. Therefore, the younger generation today is more fortunate than their predecessors. Side: Yes they are more fortunate

The younger generation today are less fortunate than their predecessors as their youth is wasted on education which does not benefit them. In the past most children did not have to attend school but instead helped their parents or were apprentices of other professionals. This way they would be able to learn skills which would be applicable to them if they were to choose that profession. On the other hand, children nowadays spend their youth in the education system which they complete only when they are in their twenties. However, as they start their career they would find that a huge majority of what they have learnt are not useful in their job. Therefore the younger generation are less fortunate as they have to go through an education system which wastes their time by giving them knowledge they do not need.

Young people are less fortunate than their predecessors because they have to face more stress now as compared to before. There is more pressure on students now in this competitive society since they have to carve a path for themselves in the future. With more people trying to achieve success in their careers, the society have become more competitive. In the past, females and known to be housewives and the husbands are the sole breadwinners. Now, there are many career women and this just adds to the stress of the younger academically. Also, with increasing trends of inflation, they would need to have work harder so that they can live a better life in the future, while as compared to their predecessors, someone with education level as low as primary school education are capable of sustaining themselves. Hence the younger generation are less fortunate than their predecessors. Side: No they are not more fortunate
