Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
Faith in progress is deep within our culture. We have been taught to believe that our lives are better than the lives of these who came before us. The ideology of modern economics suggests that material progress has yielded enhanced satisfaction and well-being. But much of our confidences about our lives are easier than those of earlier generations. The field research of anthropologists, however, gives another view of the conventional wisdom.
The lives of so-called primitive peoples are commonly thought to be harsh-their existence is dominated by the “incessant quest for food.” In fact, primitives do little work. by contemporary standards, we’d have to judge them very lazy. In the Sandwich island of Hawaii, man work only four hours a day. And Australian aborigines have similar schedules. The key to understanding why these “stone age peoples” fail to act like us – increasing their work effort to get more things ----- is that they limited desires. In the race between wanting and having, they have kept their wanting low and, in this way, ensure their own kind of satisfaction. They are materially poor by contemporary standards, but at least in one dimension –time –we have to count them richer.
We have paid a price for prosperity. Capitalism has brought a dramatically increased standard of living, but at the cost of a much more demanding work--life. We have color television and compact disc players, but we need them to unwind after a stressful day at the office. We take vacations but we work so hard throughout the year that they become indispensable to our sanity. The conventional wisdom that economic progress has given us more things as well as more leisure is difficult to sustain.
