Better Things?

As Willa Cather had said, “Men travel faster, but I do not know if they go to better things.” As technology and the world changes, the dilemma of the modern age begins to rise to the surface. Should we sacrifice the rain forest and other natural resources for better technology and human living places? Should we abandon civilization and embrace nature in order to protect the world? There are tons of dilemmas we are facing in the world today. “No sacrifice, no victory.” In order to gain, we have to sacrifice some other things. However, is the sacrifice necessary in order for us to gain the benefit? Is it possible to gain without losing values alone with it? It is incredibly hard to reach a compromise that neither too much is lost or too less is gain. As some people believed, our society is improving when technology such as cars or internet develop. However, as we develop faster transportation, there are more death caused by car accident and leaks of private information due to insecurity in internet network. I believe as our society improves, more issues came along with it. In order to solve this dilemma, we should overcome the difficulties and come to a compromise so that neither side will be affected greatly.
