The twentieth century saw great change. In your opinion, what is one change
that should eremembered about the twentieth century? Usespecific reasons and
details to explain yourchoice.
There have been many changes ,both technological and cultural, in the
twentieth century. I believe thatone stands out above the rest :advances in
medicalscience. The changes in medical science go togetherwith the changes in
technological and cultural areas.One can move ahead only with the help of the
others.We can see the results of medical advances in three areas: development of
vaccines andantibiotics, expanded access to health care , and improved surgical
techniques.
When medical researchers learned how to prevent disease and stop it from
spreading, thequality of life for many people around the world improved. Today
smallpox is a forgottendisease and vaccinations are no longer required. Polio is
under control and the vaccine iswidely available . The development of penicillin
has helped many people recover from seriousillness.
Although health care is not universal even in developed countries, it is
much better than itused to be. Local clinics, visiting nurses and specially
hospitals have all improved the health carefor our communities.
If you should be unfortunate and require surgery : you are still lucky to
have the surgerytoday rather than even ten years ago. Now with microscopic and
laser surgery, operationsare more efficient. You spend less time in the hospital
and you recover faster.
I can’t think of any other change that has affected the lives of so many
people. Our health isimportant to all of us. We all are thankful for advances in
the area of medical science.
