Many people are optimistic to the 21
century. They hold the belief that
people's life and the relationship between nations will be improved greatly
in the new century. They see it as an opportunity to make positive changes
to the world. Personally I am in favor of the opinion.
Firstly, the new century has seen a radical improvement in high technology,
which provides effective methods to some intractable problem problems that
have long haunted man, like starvation, incurable diseases, water shortage,
and so on. Properly used, the new technology will benefit man greatly.
Although some people are technology pessimists and hold that high tech
will harm or even destroy the human beings, it cannot be denied that
technology improves our life dramatically, making a decent life possible.
In addition to the progress in technology, the communication between
countries has been promoted at an unprecedented level. Unlike before when
individual countries struggled for development of economy or society, the
globalization links the whole world together. Despite the existing
divergence between some nations, the world is more and more likely to be a
complete unit, where countries have common interests and prospects.
To sum up, I am optimistic that the world will undertake positive changes in
the new century. Thanks to the appliance of new techniques, man will be
able to tackle some spiny problems. Gene engineering, for example, will be
applied widely and help us resolve the problem of food shortage in poverty-
stricken countries. Some deadly diseases like cancers will be curable. And
with the development of globalization, I hope developed countries will
attend more to small developing countries, making a peaceful and
flourishing world.
