In many countries, the elderly proportion of the population is increasing steadily. Does this trend have positive or negative effects on society?
选项
答案
In recent decades, people are living much longer than ever before; therefore, the number of the elderly is increasing steadily in many countries. Generally, I think it is more a blessing than a curse for modern society. Some people may argue that old people are not physically strong enough, so a larger proportion of old people might lead to a less energetic development of society. However, modern sciences and technologies have enabled the old to meet the challenges of modem life. For example, in the past, people who were aged over sixty were likely to be rather fragile in physical condition. But today, most senior citizens are in good health, and many of them still engage in many activities in life due to medical innovations and scientific exercises, thus, nowadays age does not necessarily result in a lack of energy and high spirits. Some others may argue that young people might be deprived of their opportunities to develop their abilities as more old people could mean that they have more chances to occupy essential social positions. But they are oversimplifying the situation. For instance, enterprises, as profit-oriented bodies, will always decide the recruiting and promoting of employees according to their strengths and abilities, if the young are not offered the chances, it usually proves that they are not as capable as elder generations. As a matter of fact, there are quite a few jobs that are especially suitable for old people—jobs that call for more experience than physical power. And more importantly, the information era has attached great importance to experience and intelligence compared to the past. Hence, old people are qualified to contribute much more to the society at present time. In summary, I am quite optimistic about the future of the so called "ageing society", which presents us with at least equal chances as challenges, if not more.
