One of the advancement of human beings during this time was the invention of automobiles. This was not only an advanced technological invention, but also a social state. This is because invention of automobile influenced and changed the way of living. Automobiles changed the lifestyle of people in the world. Nowadays, people cannot imagine the entire world living without automobile technology. The automobile industry began to be popular, as it influences the entire transport industry. Ford motor company, under the invention of Henry Ford, made the huge and ever growing automobile industry. In the early 20s century, Henry Ford came up with the model-T, of which his first ultimate goal was to bring in this car in the entire United States region; this invention became a big invention in the history of automobiles for many reasons. The invention of automobile changed the entire world in negative and positive ways,.
Model-t manufactured during this era changed the lives of people. It was a personal form of transportation. Therefore, the invention of automobiles reduced the time of travelling and cost. In fact, the Model-t was very cheap in price. Moreover, automobile industry changed the life of society such as, economy, family life and the also the environment. Automobile provided families with a means of travelling from one region to another, using the minimum time possible. Furthermore, the automobile changed the world in a positive and negative ways. The automobile made life more easy in various way, especially positively. For example, the automobile helped individual and the countries transportation; this is because in the 20th century, travelling was the hardest thing to do. In addition, 2oth century had the most dubious and traditional, means of transportation, for example using animals and animal carts( Banting 12).
The automobile improved the socialization process; this is because people and families could visit each other regardless of the distance. In fact, people had a chance to meet with other people and experience new environs. Perhaps, people could get what they wanted from the markets so easily. Automobile inventions during 1920s improved the economy of various nations.

Also, this invention came up with entertainment goodies; it gave the young people more freedom to travel and have fun with friends. Moreover, the automobile helped the economy of the countries because it opened new jobs for the society. Those who worked in the city could now move to the rural areas and farm, on the other hand those who lived in rural area could enjoy the city life. In terms of gender, automobile changed the status of women.
On the other hand, automobile invention in 1920s influenced the society negatively. The traditional way of live among people was tremendously changed; this implied that the old days way of life and unity was forgotten. Individual in society began to be independent, in that someone could just go away at anytime to undertake own activities. Another negative influence of automobiles in society is that it led to parking and congestion. Additionally, the environment began to be polluted, leading to health issues. Furthermore, invention of automobile weakened the interest of family, as well as increasing crime rate. Many people who could not afford the automobiles used other bad means to own it. Moreover, those who stole could drive easily and escape (Banting 56). Apart from, improving the status in society, it led to class discrimination between those who afforded to buy and the poor. During this era, many people did not know how to drive, the anxiety to drive led to many deaths through accidents. Teenagers also enjoyed having fun with the automobiles, leading to many accidents.
Undeniably, there are many beneficial effects for attending a college for everyone. In the 21st century, a lot of changes has taken place because of college education. In fact, college education has brought people from different regions to share in language, culture, personalities and knowledge. In the society we live in, college education is tremendously important for everyone. I believe that going to college school in my life will instill a sense of constancy of focusing in my goals as well as achieving them. In life, people who have attended college education and earned a degree are successful in life. College education may be very hard to many students in the beginning, but in the long-run it becomes enjoyable; hence, its ultimate goal pays off. For example, when times come after college to apply for a job, college education will make the person competitive. In the job market, not only personal attributes matters but also college education. Those who have not attended college education have very low chance of getting a job (Barefoot & Gardner 18).
One of the most important effects of the college educations is that a person could learn more about how to communicate with the people because the college student will meet many kinds of different people and that can give the student more confidence to can make better judge decisions on people. In simple, way education exposes has to various cultures and diversity. It is in college education that I had a chance to meet very many people from the world, as well as learn more on their way of life. Moreover, on issues with diversity, college educations presents a chance to learn about diverse issues of other people which include, communication, dress code, traditional and religious beliefs, language, as well as learn various ways of socialization.
Certainly, I learned the skill of communicating various people who were around me in college; in fact, some of the greeting I learned included “Hi” as well as shaking hands. As come from different culture, these were new and interesting lessons. Within our college, some students would never shake hands, while others always shook hands. However, these differences presented an opportunity for me to empress culture and value diversity in the world. Repeatedly, my friends from other cultures could teach me various ways of greetings that should be used among different age group (Barefoot & Gardner 25). For example, some greeting words were used on the youth, children, parents, elders, and to respected people. Actually, on a personal level college has presented to me a good and joyous experience. In addition, I learned how to communicate with my teachers and my classmates and how to explain my ideas in a behave way.
Another benefit of college education is that getting a higher education after the high school gives you more confident to accomplish that goal. For example, in the future when the student want to apply for a job, the one that have better degree makes him more qualified for that job. In fact, the person that has a college degree is more respected than the one who does not have a degree. Another benefit for college education is that college education is a valuable thing because it can help to make our society better. In this case, it is believed that education is an important factor of development. When individuals graduate from college they can they are in a position to get a job and earn money. The salary earned will develop individuals, society, family, and the entire nation. Scholars assert that there is direct relationship between development in society and the level of education of the residence in that community. For example, at the college we can discuss and negotiate our ideas and important issues that will make us go for the best goal, so that can help us to build a better society. People can read, argue and listen for a better idea for our society. Also, I believe that the future depends on young people, of which most of them are in college; hence, when we attend college education we will improve the economic, social and political arena of the nation (Barefoot & Gardner pp28-35).
