It is a common belief that the living conditions of people in the 21st century are better than

those in the past. In my opinion, I am strongly convinced that this viewpoint is true and this
essay will provide the reasons.

It can easily be seen that medical health plays a significant role in developing the quality of
life. If we look back at the history of humanity, there are thousands of pandemics that have
encountered and killed millions of lives. Not many people chose to learn medicine in the
past, and this can lead to a lack of doctors and nurses, and patients not fully taken care of.
Plus, it took a long time for scientists to find out the cure for these illnesses. Fortunately,
people today pay more attention to their health. A large number of medical students
graduate every year, which means more new doctors and nurses are ready to take care of
people’s health. And with the help of technology, scientists can figure out the cure for a new
disease in a short amount of time, this can be proven through the COVID - 19 pandemic,
where the vaccine took less than a year to be made and used around the globe.

In addition, not only physical health has been improving, but mental health is widely known
by a mass of people. It is their mental issue that more and more people are suffering from.
This can be caused by their family and friends, or the pressure from school, work,...One of
the most popular faculties is psychology and more psychological consulting rooms are open
for those in need. Besides, most schools today have a room used only for students who
have negative thoughts or have trauma to look for help and to speak up about their problems
to a psychologist and find a way to get out of those thoughts.

To summarize, I agree that life quality in the 21st century is better than in the past. People
today are not only being taken care of their physical health but their mental health is looked
after by thousands of doctors and psychologists.
