Currently a growing number of people are taking into account about whether the world is developing in every aspect. Some people hold optimistic opinion thinking that all areas of our life are developing toward a much good direction. Nevertheless, some people argue that there still a long way to go to make progress in all aspects of our life. It is obviously great changes have occurred in our world, naturally, it influences our life in nearly every area, especially in education. In the past, it was fairly difficult for an impoverished family to send their children to go to school, for the reason that not only could not them get ample educational resources, but also they could not afford so large amount of tuition. At present, the government has taken measures to low the tuition and support those who are not well-being to get chances to be accessible to school. On the other hand, due to the global warming as well as the industrialization, the environment of the world is not heading toward a good direction. On the contrary, it is becoming worse. For instance, the continuing growing value of PH2.5, which made citizens are so afraid of the polluted air, even made they have to wear a mask to avoid breathing the air as it could do great harm to our health. Also, the occurrence of the epidemic of infectious diseases seems to be more and more frequent, such as H1N1、H7N9 and etc. In any case, the environment of our world should be paid more attention. In conclusion, although we still have some aspect need great effort to develop, it should be admitted that we have made enormous progress in many fields, and the advancement is expected to continue.
