Are Societies Ageing Too Fast?
An ageing society is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasing.The global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above._.This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children! What are the causes of this population change?
_.And another is that birthrates have dropped as people, especially women, are educated.Measures to slow population growth like China’s one-child policy, have also contributed to lowered birthrates.The increase in the aged population is not just an interesting trend, however; it also has severe implications for the future of global economies.
People traditionally retire at 65 and live on government pensions._.Another concern is that as medical expenses increase with age, the demands of the growing aged population will eventually cause medical systems to face bankruptcy(破产).
___.They suggest that because people are living longer, they ought to work longer, while governments need to establish a sound social security system.They also suggest that individuals start saving as soon as possible to ensure a financially secure retirement.People should also develop good health habits in their youth to ensure an active and productive old age.__.By finding cures for diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, medical bills and the need for care would be drastically reduced.
Finally, an important step to ensure a bright future for all is to do away with negative stereotypes that see valuable members of society only as pensioners or patients.It’s high time we stopped seeing ageing as a disease and started playing our parts in securing the future of our ageing societies.

The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. .
The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment.
On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

A.Then a third level appeared.
B.Human wants seem endless.
C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
D.There are several levels of wants in one’s life.

E. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.
F. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
G. Different people have different wants on each level.
