Muggle Muggle Toil and Trouble - Debate and Discussion Class

While I certainly see your point, I disagree with you. I think that, in modern times, there is a balance. While the wizarding world does have it a bit harder mentally, muggles lives are more physically difficult. Yes, wizards have to learn complicated spells and potions, but they don't have to learn more difficult academic lessons. They don't have to deal with algebra and physics. I think that evens out the scale that way.

If we were to talk of the past, I would say the muggles had it far more difficult. It's not been that long since they've had such technological conveniences as washing machines, cars, and computers. Everything was manual. At that time, wizards had surely had some sort of spell to wash clothes without work, they certainly had convenient transportation, and they never really had any use for computers.

I don't think either "race" is more advanced either. In some ways each one is more advanced than the other. That, again, balances the scales. While muggles are more technologically advanced, wizards are more advanced as far as society goes. They have found ways around fighting over religion, race, gender, etc. There are fewer wizarding wars than there are muggle wars. But hey, muggles aren't still using candles.

I'm aware that I took an easy way out. I didn't really take a side, but it's just the way I feel. Balance is important to the world. I feel that without balance, we would fall apart. If the scale tipped one way or the other, it would be unjust. Personally, I am glad that no one society has it easier than another.

I debated on both sides and kept asking myself the question on which community has it easier, I also read everything above on this subject, though to be honest, I have come up with the conclusion that both communities have it just as hard.

It is unfair to assume a whole community to be the same. A muggle person who is extremely rich may have it easier than a young pregnant teenager living on the streets, yet they are in the same community, and the same with the muggle community - A wizard with money, education, a good job etc etc would have had it easier than perhaps someone like Neville who has had to live with his parents condition all of his life.

This is why I stand on the fence with this subject, not a cop-out as many may believe, yet a considered decision

They are both easier in there own way. Muggles don't have to learn a bunch of complicated spells, but wizards don't have to work so hard to do things after they learn the spells and can also transport easier.

I would say wizards are more advanced because they have magic and muggle technology at their dispense, while muggles only have their non-magical things and will typically never have certain things wizards do.

I stringly believe that muggles have an easier life. I think this because wizards and witches have pressure to be magical, they are mostly shunned if they choose to live the life of a non-magical life

Code:

I have an uncle that works as an accountant we don't talk to him: Ronald Weasley

this is a classical case were the magical person is not accepted for what they want to be.

Another reason i think that muggles have an easier life is that they have more luxeries than witches and wizards.
TVs, radios and cars are just some of the things that make life easier for muggles. Witches and wizards may have brooms, wands the floo network but they can't use them to get about incase of muggle detection, whereas muggles are much more free in their transport.

My last reason why muggles have an easier life is that they have more acceptance on what they wear, in the first book Vernon complains about the witches and wizards atire. With muggles this doesn't happen, witches and wizards sometimes have to wear muggles clothes so they don't find them as unusual as muggles find wizard clothes,

(I hope i made sense)
