Topic: Becoming Older

Human existence is shorter than trees' life . Experience has shown that as people get older, they usually begin to have physical problems. They sometimes begin to lose their eyesight, their hearing,their memory and become less able to move around. Getting older is a fact of life and there is nothing we can do to stop the years from passing. In Africa and in other poor countries where the life expectation is shorter than the one in other countries, getting older is a problem to be taken serious. Usually at the age of 60, human cells and bones become week. The person will no longer have possibility to earn his life since he will no longer have easy job apart of working harder in farm, under sun and rain. Some of those people become abandoned to themselves since their sons went in towns and other cities to find a good job. Those parents without help face many problems among which starvation and health are the most common. In countries facing war, they are condemned to die if international organizations don't help them. My father always told me that when he was young people lived longer than nowadays. He said that his grand father had lived more than 130 years but today, it is difficult to see a 95 years old person in my country. In America, aged people do not have much problems. When they were young, they saved enough money in their social account so that by the time they are retired, they will not faced much problems. So they will not be abandoned to themselves, they will move to the health care center where they will look after them.
Getting older is a social problem in human life. So we need to think deeply about it when we are still young. We have to work and save enough money to prevent our future by the time we get older.
