The greatest human tragedy of all time

[Subedei]

Yeah, people working only 8h per day instead of from dawn to dusk, having good medical care, education, enough money to fulfill their needs not just to sustain themselves is a real bummer.

I guess everything has two sides.

Assuming you are living in a first world country I would state YOU have access to the medical care, job/money etc..
Well, think about the 70-90% of world population who don´t have the fortune you/ i have? Is it b/c they are all lazy? I don't think so.

Industrialization in it's current state has negative effects like robbery of commodities from 3rd world countries, unequal distribution of wealth, negative effects of the climate change esp. in 3rd world countires (lack of water, destruction of crops....) etc.

It has a lot of good sides, esp. for someone like me living in the EU. Go ask sombody in the Congo....

The positive effects faciliated by mankinds progress sure do affect a lot of people...but the lot of people become more and more and more....We have to think about a way to deal with this without further destruction of our own planet. This is one of our biggest challenges atm.
