28- In general, people these days live longer in most countries of the
world.
Discuss the causes of this phenomenon. Use specific reasons and details
to develop your essay.
Living longer has always been a dream for most human beings, and they have
tried throughout history to
find ways to achieve longevity; luckily their efforts
have led to some good results and now according to official figures, average life
expectancy in many countries of the world has increased. In my opinion the
most important reason for this phenomenon is adequate
healthcare and better
hygiene.
In the past most people who contracted the formerly fatal diseases would die in
no time. There were no remedies for such diseases and only a very small
proportion of the people afflicted with a fatal disease would survive. Infant
mortality rate was, therefore, extremely high
since children were more
vulnerable and their immune system was the weakest. But these days most
children are vaccinated against most fatal diseases and their immune system is
stronger. Nowadays there are treatments for most diseases or at least people
can take preventive measures against most of them.
Furthermore, nowadays the food that we eat and the water that we drink are
hygienic. Most people in the past did not have access to clean water recourses.
In areas where people were
not close to mountainous areas, they had to
consume even dirty water. Nowadays people carry their foods in sterilized
packages and keep them in their fridges; hence the
chances of contamination
are low. People nowadays can use fruits and vegetables from far-away places
transported in refrigerated containers and can take in a range of vitamins and
minerals therefore they are healthier.
In
conclusion, I think the technological advances in different fields have helped
people live longer than before and they will certainly pave the way for still a
higher average life expectancy, and people will live a longer life
providing they
pay attention to their lifestyles, healthcare and hygiene.
