If mankind were able to go back to the primitive times, I am absolute in the fact that we will perceive and surprise in the distinctive features from the past and present. Mankind have encountered numerous modifications in the realm of concepts, science technology, society formation etc. In the process of those encounters, there have been opulent intricacies and benefits. However, in some situations people who faces those changes forfeit to overcome difficulties because they lack the ability to assimilate substantial variations. Unfortunately, even though these modifications result decent agony, we must courageously face them and utilize the advantages from them for they consequent the augmentation of intelligence and life convenience.
It is a common sense that if mankind pursued to linger and stay in just one sole point, the word 'advancement' or 'development' could have been eradicated. Development comes from the replacement in one circumstance or status to another. If we were to deny it, mankind would never achieve the state of development in the realm of intelligence. One apt example is the adaptation of democracy. In archaic times, the notion of democracy did not exist until some philosophers and economists established such concept. Despite its rationality, governments and civilians had hard time accepting such policy. However, in current state, from the process of overcoming problems the influx of democracy had, we are provided with effervescent knowledge nowadays.
Not only in intelligence, but also in the convenience of our life have radically increased on account of overcoming the intricacies modifications contained. What kind of society could we have now if industrial revolution was criticized and dismissed due to its millions of disadvantageous? Fortunately, even though the revolution caused many problems such as pollution, stratification and so on, we have now got used to them and overcome them in some extent. Hence, we are now living in the world where immense convenience is bestowed which have been motivated from the industrial revolution.
Some people fear to face changes in their life. They assume that they would be seriously affected on account of the changes and prefer to extend their present life. But if we fear all new modifications without some bravery, or even stubbornness, it is virtually impossible to advance and to precede current status for the next level in the means of intelligence or convenience.
