How has public education changed?

Before public services were developed

Now

Garbage collection

People had to dispose of their waste themselves, often by dumping it in a nearby area.

Garbage is collected by government or private companies and disposed of properly.

Health care

People relied on natural remedies and their own knowledge, or on doctors who may have lacked proper training.

People have access to professional medical care and treatment in hospitals and clinics.

Public transportation

There was no public transportation, and people had to walk or use their own transportation.

Public transportation such as buses, trains, and subways are available to the public.

Water

People had to obtain water from natural sources such as rivers or wells, and it was not always clean or safe to drink.

People have access to clean and safe drinking water through public water systems.
