Would you please correct this essay? Thank you in advance

The lifestyle of a majority of people, particularly of youths, in my country, Iran, has changed over recent years. In recent years, the number of young people has grown rapidly in Iran. On the other hand, the advancement in the technology followed by the emergence of modern communicative devices and methods such as mobile phones, satellites, the Internet, and social networks have displayed the lifestyle of other people, especially those who live in western countries. Two things mentioned above have had fundamental impacts on the Iranian lifestyle. In the past, old traditions dominated Iranian society. Marriages were formed based on the practices which had been kept for many years. The father's remarks in the family were considered as orders which couldn't be disobeyed. While women usually stayed at home and did house work, men spent the majority of times outside of the house to provide enough income for the family. Meanwhile there were good aspects ("stuff" is ok but it is better to use "aspects" - more formal)  too. For example, emotional relationships among family members were much more powerful than today's. Respect towards one other, particularly elder people, was much more customary and, overall people treated each other much nicer.
