Are the Modern martial arts any more effective or better than traditional arts? What is your opinion?

There are NO modern martial arts, they are mouse traps.

I have heard many times that modern martial arts are better than traditional martial arts for living in todays violent world. However, I disagree with this because ancient Martial arts like karate and jujutsu were made for combat on the battlefield. I have heard many times that non-traditional martial arts are better than traditional martial arts for living in todays violent world. I do not really agree with this statement because traditional arts like karate were made for combat many years ago and I have read that most non-traditional arts have some kind of traditional martial art background. Does any one agree/disagree with either of these statements?
I don't think one martial art is better than another one either. I have a question that I have had trouble with for a couple weeks since I posted this topic:

How is a modern martial art determind and a traditional martial art determind, and how are they different? Are they different?
What are your opinions??

Sincerely, Eric Daniel
