In our contemporary time, some people argue that aging is totally bad because of increased sedentary life style and vulnerability to health issues. While this may be true, In my opinion, i believe that aged individual lifestyle is better than in ancient time because it not only do they receive advanced healthcare but also increases connectivity.
Some people regard getting old in the past as harmful thing since there is high immobile lifestyle. Elders do not associate with communities activities due to discrimination aganist them causing increased boredom in the older adult. For example, a town in Anambra state, Nigeria according to history had it that in the past older citizens are banned from village meeting and title. Moreso, there are health implication due to elderly are not properly taken care of medically by their familes and government it causes disease like hypertension, osteoporosis. Therefore, aging in the ancient time is entirely wrong. However, I disagree with this view.
On the other hand , other have it that elderly citizens lifestyle are more standard in this digital age and i agree because first off, there are easy access to medical attention. The advancement in technology have lead to prompt health care service, better diagnosis and treatment of age-related illness. To illustrate, according to research carried by Onu in 2021 which reveals that there is increased life expentancy of older population in the present era than when compared in the past . Futhermore, science have provided oppurnities for engagement to loved ones, learning allowing older adults to lead more fufilling lives.
In conclusion, it is sometimes believed that advancing in years is miserable in the past owning to their inactive lifestyle and negative health impact. In my view, i believe that growing old now is much better considering the increased health facilities and good relationship.
