• What kinds of positive effects has modernity had on each generation?
  • How does your lifestyle differ from that of your parents and from that of your grandparents? In other words, how has modernity affected EACH generation of your family? Discuss each of the following aspects of daily life for EACH generation, providing specific examples:
