Some people say that in the modern world, getting old is entirely bad.

Others, however, say that

life for the elderly nowadays is much better than it was in the past.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Some people argue that it is entirely bad when you get older in the modern society.
Meanwhile, others believe that the elderly nowadays have a better life compared to
the past. in my opinion, I agree with the latter statement.
On the one hand, it is true that being an older people is bring several troubles
(intrinsically unfavorable) . The main reason for this is that both physical and
mental health inevitably become weaker which makes the elderly is susceptible to
diseases. Consequently, almost of older people experience self-deprecating since
they feel like the family’s financial responsibility. Another point to make is that
living in a fast-paced life has exacerbated generation gap. While young people
changed their mindset frequently to adapt quickly to modern societal norms, older
people may adapt slower, which is why some elderly can not connect with their
family and feel lonely. (, making it an uphill battle for the elderly to keep the pace
with the swiftly evolving behavior .)
On the other hand, older people in modern society still experience many benefits.
First, enhanced healthcare and advanced medical interventions have extended life
expectancy and elevated the overall quality of life for seniors. For example,
nowadays, people can easily buy medical devices to monitor their health every day
instead of going to the hospital. Moreover, the advent of the Internet has
revolutionized connectivity, enabling them to stay informed, maintain social ties,
and engage in a wider range of activities. As a result, the elderly may enjoy their
life better than those in the past. Furthermore, the shifting societal attitudes reflect
a more inclusive and respectful outlook toward seniors, acknowledging the
invaluable wealth of their wisdom and experience.
In conclusion, although it can not be denied that getting older is a significant
challenge in some cases, I still believe that in a modern society, older people lead a
better life compared to the past since they live in the society with advanced
technology, internet, and the respect of young people.
