Theme
Some individuals believe that the best way to measure “quality of life” is to adopt the model of a developed nation, such as Canada. These individuals point to Canada’s high standard of living, material wealth and its highly developed industrial and technological base. Others believe that “quality of life” can be measured by other standards, such as traditional values and beliefs, community standards and environmental considerations. Still others believe that societies can incorporate contemporary and traditional ideas to ensure a better “quality of life”.
