▶ Your Answer :
The average lifespan of people is increasing as medicine and
medical technology were developed, and people can take nourished food. This
means that much more old people are living in the world as a part of the
society. In this atmosphere, do the government and social leaders prepare to
make the better world for the old, and the old people are really able to enjoy
their own lives? I believe young people tend to enjoy their lives rather than
the old with the following two reasons.
First of all, young people have good physical abilities than
old people. The old are physically limited to participate in various kinds of
exciting activities. For instance, when it comes to outdoor activities such as
climbing and skydiving, old people can be in danger due to their physical
limitation. For the safety of the old, some kind of dangerous activities are
not allowed to them.
On top of that, based on a research that was conducted by
the professors of Seoul University, the rate of committing suicide in old ages
are high compared to the young generation. The researchers add that one of the
reasons is that the old people feel like they became useless in the society as
they are not able to act as an important part of the society. This social atmosphere
leads that the old stick in their house and do the choirs. In turn, they cannot
enjoy their lives.
To conclude, the old people are hard to enjoy their lives
with their restricted physical ability and the social atmosphere that makes the
old generation do nothing worthy. Since the lifespan of people keeps going up,
we have to consider of the methods to help old people enjoy their lives by
employing them in companies or restaurants serving simple works.
