Regarding the past happenings and those of today's it is not a phenomenon that we have to debate about because it's actually what it is that things are rather getting worse today than it were back then.
Growing up as teens the good experiences about how less difficult life was isn't same as we have today. The post world war effects wasn't as severe as how the COVID-19 pandemic post effect on the economies of the world are facing. I have had time to commune with a few elderly persons and their stories about the past and today's world has always been that the world is getting worse by the day.
The only better and developmental difference is that in our present world technology has greatly improved but the global economy isn't getting a reflection of this development. Cost of living skyrocketing, increased in strange diseases and sicknesses and insecurity on a high level and a majority can't even feed fine. What can you say about that?
As far as I know, the damage caused by World War II was 10 times greater than that of World War I: 60 million people died, 90 million people were disabled and many villages and cities were destroyed...Economically: hundreds of millions of people lost their jobs and homes, and it could be said that much of Europe collapsed. Let me ask, how many people have died, how many people have lost their jobs and homes because of the covid pandemic? Will the world economy collapse to the point where millions of people are unemployed or starving?...Also, you can study past pandemics like cholera, malaria...and many others that have caused consequences. You will know that covid pandemic is nothing.
As I said we have never been through anything worse, Covid is the only thing we have had to go through so far, so we don't feel what previous generations have had to endure and go through.
Today, many families are struggling to make ends meet, struggling to eat, but famines are no longer as frequent and the number of people dying from hunger is not as high as before...It is safe to say that a lot of things have changed for the better.
If you say the world is getting worse and making money is getting harder, then I want to ask you, could the generations before us have made money online? Can they invest, can they use technology devices, internet, social networks...to make money? Also, if they get sick, do they get vaccinated, do they have access to specialist care with the technology we have today?
As I said before, the world becomes worse or better depending on each person, if you earn more money then obviously the world will become better. But if you are struggling in life then when you look at life everything will be bad, even with your family everything will be bad for you.
