I am not sure, that i have exact opinion on this question.
We can't say with confidence that life is better now that it used to be.
Something goes wrong, another goes right.
In my opinion, the institute of marriage is crashing by people.
It happens because of the changes in people's morality.
They don't have the obligation to marry with each other.
They can just live without special wedding ceremonies.
People forgot own traditionds and lows of Bible.
So, i think, it is the bad point of contempory world.
The good point is our standart of living.
Almost all of us have own house or flar, car, good job and e.t.c.
We feel safety and comfort.
On the other hand, it is negative, because we don't appreciate the labour of those, who is creating everything for us.
