Historically, human race has made huge progress in almost every aspect of life, such as medication, education, technology, and science. However, not all people believe that not every aspect has been improved, especially in these 100 years. In my point of view, I think that most of the areas in our lives have been largely developed whereas some specific areas need to be kept developing. Certainly, there are many things which have been making people's life better and better. First of all, the development of medication has been saved enormous lives in history, so we take injections when we get sick, so we take some food supplementary tablets every day, so we are able to do further research on AIDS and cancer. Secondly, the wide spread of education has given chances to people who could not get access to school in ancient times. For example, in most of the western countries and some of the developing countries are giving elementary education for free. Lastly, new technology has changed our life dramatically. People could travel between different continents within one day or two because of the invention of airplane; People could enjoy the high speed telecommunication because of the invention of computer; People could run international business and keep in touch all the time because of the proliferation of the internet. Nonetheless, somehow, there are some areas in our life have not really improved. Surely, the first issue which bothers us is pollution. In last 200 years, the pollution issue became one of the essential problem which impacts human race's future. Afterwards, even the governments tried hardly to reduce the emission of it, the worldwide environment is still getting worse and worse. Moreover, the problem of crime has never been changed, as we may see, there is always negative news on media. Besides, with the new technology, criminals could even bring more impact to this society, such as big bomb, digital crime, online scan. Last, with the population grows larger and larger, the nature resource are not enough for lasting long, so we need to find some clean replacement. In conclusion, of course, our life has been largely improved in many ways, however, there are some certain aspects need to be kept improving.
