In many contries around the world, life expectance is increasing. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this situation and give your opinion
Nowadays it can be claimed that a growing number of countries experience growth in the length of
life
. On the one hand, there are a number of benefits of this
process, but on the other hand
, there are some drawbacks and issues which must be discussed and solved. In this
essay, both sides will be explained and supported with examples.
First of all, speaking about the pluses of life
expectancy, definitely, they are manifold. People are beginning to live longer and due to
this
fact, they are able to spend time doing what they really want like taking care of their grandchildren, travelling or taking up new activities etc. Besides
, according to
New
York Times a number of businessmen and owners of huge market companies, when they face various problems, get advice from the older generation or retired colleagues owing to the fact that they have more experience and knowledge in order to tackle obstacles.

Moreover
, older people must get better medical conditions. An article, which was published in a British journal, says that the older generation needs more pills because he or she may suffer more from different illnesses and also

, governments should spend more budget on this
issue.
In conclusion, increasing life
expectancy can be both rewarding and problematic. Obviously, it is great that people are able to spend more time with family or do what they want, but from my point of view, it is terrible when a person is suffering all the time during his ageing and in order to save them we have to limit our economic, which is why I suppose that longer life
expectancy will have more negative consequences.Submitted by dulskywork on
