This essay is part of my preparation to attend to the FCE Cambridge.
Around the world, people are living and staying healthy for longer and longer. What changes does this bring to today’s society? Are these changes good or bad?
- Need for more jobs opportunities;
- Society can enjoy the knowledge of these older and wiser people;
- It’s a cheap source of labour.
These changes are good, of course.
Nowadays, we can see more people living longer and longer as a result of their life quality improvement. They eat better and healthier, do exercises regularly, and keep their minds busy. But, are these changes good or bad for society?
There are those who say no, this is not good for the society because if this person wants to keep working, he or she may take a position which was meant for a young person. A young person who never worked. In other words, we have to create more positions in the labor market to support all these people.
On the other hand, there are those who think differently, saying that the society has a lot of things to learn with these older and wiser people. As it is widely known, they are a cheap source of labour, so why not have them working in schools, libraries, and so on? Definitely, it is something to discuss.
To sum up, I believe in the benefits of this changes to society. The main point is to find the right place and purpose for everyone. All human beings have something good to delivery to society, no matter how old they are regardless of their age. We, as a society have to find a way to live in balance among us.
