Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people suggest that people over the age of sixty-five can continue to live full and active lives. In what ways can society benefit from the contribution that older people can make?

In today’s new era of technology and science people possess at their disposal, knowledge, and services that most people would consider impossible a couple of centuries back. The world is changing at an alarming pace, not always for the better, and with it so are all the living beings that inhabit it, which includes us.

Besides

the clear and always evident technological advancement, there have

also

been verified some clear improvements when it comes to general health. Whether we are referring to the cautions that the average person has on a daily basis, or if we are discussing the great medical and pharmaceutical advances. Since, the cures to diseases that have been

in the past have never been closer, or already found, and doctors have never had

On the other hand

However

the treatments that are mostly subsidized by the government. And, the people that most frequently use these services are the elderly, who

two different ways. To conclude, in my opinion, the people that are over sixty-five years old in order to help fight

this

This

situation should still contribute in some way to the society.

For example

, a doctor at the age of 75, does not possess the energy to continue to work full-time at a hospital.

, and even do an occasional consultation.

Therefore

, I believe that if equivalent measures would be put to use in all professional fields, society could experience a huge contribute from people over the age of sixty-five.
