In

,
people
 in different parts of the world live longer lives than in the past.
This
 can result in a

 of benefits but it can have some drawbacks too. In

 I will discuss both. Overall I think
this
 a positive development that will be of great benefit to
people
 from all over the world. When
people
 live longer they have the chance to do more. They have experience and knowledge we can learn from the older
generation
. if they live longer, they will have more time to teach the younger
generation
 about many values they are missing. On top of that, in the ,past we lost a
lot
 of knowledge because
people
 die early. We lost many experts in fields like physics and math at a younger
age
 and maybe if they live longer they could have changed the world. Many
people
 consider the rise in life expectancy always a good thing.
However
, there are a few drawbacks that we have to address. When
people
age
 they mostly get sick so they require a
lot
 of medical help and that could cost the government or their families a
lot
 of money.
Furthermore
,
people
 who are healthy and
age

generation
 and
this
 could mean

 if
for example
 every important job in the country is occupied by the older
generation
 and they may lack new ideas and the motivation to improve and adapt
this
 could result in lack of development in either the government or the private sector. For
this
 and many other ,reasons the rise in life expectancy is not always a good thing when looking at it from a broad perspective. In summary, I believe
people
 living for many years is a good thing but nations have to adapt and put some laws in place to avoid many drawbacks of
this
 new development in
this
 day and
