When it comes to the issue about whether people were friendlier in the past than they are today, people's opinion differs from person to person, and culture to culture. Some argues that people are friendlier in the past because there are more chances for them to interact with each other face to face, while others may think that modern technology make people more easily to show their kindness to other people around. In my opinion, I suppose the latter one, people are friendlier to others nowadays due to the development of modern society.

 

Admittedly, people have more time to talk to others and have more chances cooperate with others face to face. However, they had been doing these kinds of things just like today, for work or study. So, even though, sometime people have online meeting today, this do not interfere with their firm and friendly relationships. Also, as sending one's regards to others is more easily than in the past, so people constantly communicate with each other. With their friendship gradually become deeper, self-evidently, they are friendlier to others familiar people.

 

Furthermore, people are friendlier with stranger than in the past. In the past, even some people are genial and what to help others. However, poverty may prevent them from helping other. Some family have trouble to feed children themselves, as a result, they never take charity as a consideration. They only care about how to attack hungry in their home.  On the other hand, people are richer, so they can just manage their money as they like. So, some rich business men just donate all his property just before their retirement. And young children just send their old toys to those who need it.

 

Finally, people receive more education, which leads to friendliness, and often even courtesy.  There may lack the awareness to help other in need and be friendly with others in the past.  However, as they have been taught in school, people just hold the they have the responsibility to behave friendlier with others. So easily can we see some young student give their seats to the elder on the bus. Additionally, whenever some elder men have trouble with their phones or something, the young just help at once. 

 

With the discussion above, we can safely draw a conclusion that people today are friendlier to other than in the past.

Some will say that the past is undulyromanticized as a friendlier time—that people couldn't have been muchbetter-disposed than they are today. But I’m not so sure. There are a number ofreasons why people may have been more genial back in the day.

For one thing, people in the pastinteracted with each other in person more than we do today, and this naturallyresulted in a comparatively higher level of friendliness. The reason peopleinteracted more was because they had fewer technological distractions. Backthen, it was both routine and enjoyable to shoot the breeze with others whilewaiting for a trolley or sitting on your front porch after work. Socializingface to face with complete strangers was commonplace. Nowadays, however, peoplehave all sorts of devices like smart phones, e-readers, and iPods that drawthem into their own private worlds even while out in public. While taking thesubway to work, you’ll rarely see two people strangers talking unless it’s toyell at each other. More likely, they’ll be totally absorbed by the miniaturescreens in front of them.

For another thing, the pace of life todayis much faster than it was in the past, and as a result, people today are muchmore hurried and much less friendly. Those living in modern society tend tohave little patience for idle conversation, as they are always on their way todo something or see someone. The leisurely daily rhythms characterizing pasteras have been replaced by a frantic rush to accomplish as much as humanlypossible. This has led to friendliness, and often even courtesy, taking abackseat to efficient and mechanical interactions.

Granted, people today are also much moreconnected via non-traditional mediums than they were in the past. Thanks tocomputers, the internet, and social networking services like Weibo and Renren,people can keep in touch with each other no matter where they are in the world.However, this type of connection is a poor substitute for face-to-faceinteraction and does not necessarily encourage friendliness. In fact, it maymake us even colder towards others because we become accustomed to viewingpeople as remote, disembodied data. The shallow interactions facilitated bytechnology may actually deepen the divide between us rather than bring uscloser together.

Peoplein the past moved through life at a more leisurely pace, and they didn't havethe technological distractions that we have today. Though technology is oftenseen as a tool that connects people, it may in fact have the opposite effect.For these reasons, people in the past were probably friendlier than people today.
