argument essay on the topic - are we happier than our grandparents were when they were our age
Answers
Answer:
We today have everything at our command, Science is at our beck and call. We have all the comforts of life which our ancestors never could even dream of. Means of transport, means of communication, means of entertainment — Cinema, T.V. with so many channels — phones, E-mails, Fax, Internet whatnot. Still, if you ask even the richest of men if he is really ‘happy’, he may just shake his head to show ‘no, not that’. There are worries, there are anxieties, there is no sense of satisfaction or contentment.

There are worries, there are anxieties, there is no sense of satisfaction or contentment.Men of the past had little but they lived all in a joint family serving each other, one another in their needs sharing whatever they could produce or earn. They lived a life of frugality but contentment. They worked hard and could have a sound sleep at night. The home housed cousins, brothers, uncles, aunts all under one roof. Now there are two room cubicles in large busy towns no space even for parents to come and stay. There had been an affectionate bond binding all in the past; there is a distance now even among the brothers. ‘What is this life so full of care’ is what can be said of today’s living.
