Technological Progress Lives Easier
1,040 words
In his essay Civilization and Its Discontents,
Sigmund Freud states his opinion that
technological progress has failed to make humans
happier. I strongly disagree to this opinion as I
believe that todays technological progress has
made our lives more efficient and interesting, and
thus more happy. Freud speaks in a time when the
progress of technology had not started its rapid
acceleration, and so the technology of his day did
not have a large positive impact on the whole of
society, compared to...

washing hands and face, taking a shower or a bath,
clean house, washing dishes, running a washing

Saint Thomas Aquinas God Does Not Exist

five arguments he could prove Gods existence. His
five arguments are from motion, from first
efficient cause, from possibility and necessity,
from gradation, and from design. Aquinas begins

The Dual Nature of the Progressive Era One common
misconception is to view the Progressive movement
as a unified core of reform-minded crusaders
dedicated to improving the social welfare of
American society. While this viewpoint is not
entirely incorrect, it is only a partial and
thereby misleading assessment of the movement that
categorized the early part of the
nineteenth-century. What some may fail to
appreciate is the duality of the period-the cry
for social welfare reforms juxtaposed agains...

Older Workers Retirement Age

Should Our Grandparents Work? Based on the facts
that the U. S. is a wealthy nation and how
technology has improved working productivity, it
is expected that the retirement age should be
really low. That is not the case. Many employees
in the U. S. work past their retirement age, and
in many cases past 70 years old. This employment
status is damaging both to these elders and the
nation as a whole. In one respect, it deprives
these elders of the relaxation that they should
