| Ielts Essay - 21st Century or previous century? |
Even since humans settled down, they have
made tremendous progress, often regarded as great achievement as per
contemporary expectations. But, every next generation has tried to establish
their superiority over predecessors. Continuing that tradition, many propose

smaller place to live, and people can be seen trotting the globe for disparate
purposes such as tourism, employment and education, and interacting with others
across the planet without any inhibitions. This may well help foster better
relationships among people of various parts of the planet.

in the current era, it is not correct to compare two periods, as every
generation has done something to bring the human race to its present condition.
