Present Day Is Better Than The 1960's

Would you rather live in a society where women don’t have the same rights as men? Where not all religions ethnicities, customs, and traditions were accepted? Where people were constantly being rejected and forced to lead an oppressed life? I feel John F. Kennedy assess this issue best when he said, “If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.” While John F.

There are almost infinite possibilities a person could do with something accessible from the palm of their hand. Technology helps with a lot of things, not to mention the improvement of research, medical advancements, organization, communication and time management. Not even half of the things we use today existed back
