Summary: This article is about the discovery of the limit of the human lifespan expectancy. There was a recent study that stated the certain parts of the world have different conditions that can determine the life expectancy of an individual. Japan has the highest ratings of life expectancy in the world. Due to their good diets, family structure, and daily routines, the average person is expected to like to at least 86. That's pretty long compared to World's life expectancy of 60 years old. Despite the good news of longer life on Earth, scientists have discovered that humans have reached their limit in age. The rates of life expectancy are no longer predicted to rise higher than it is now. It is highly unlikely that people will live to 125 or beyond. The reason why life expectancy rates have risen since long ago is because living conditions are far better than they were 100 years ago. There were many diseases, war, and lack of proper care for the sick. Today, we are able to get proper prescriptions for the illnesses that we may have. Truthfully, there is no way to determine how long a person will live. Diet, exercise, and proper care of the body are the only things that humans can control. We should all live our lives to the fullest no matter what age we are.
Analysis: This article was written by Bianca Britton from CNN. She didn't have much of a point of view, but she knew enough about the subject to present substantial information and statistics in the article. This article was produced in the current times, which proves its relevance. This information is relevant to inform the people of America about how long humans can be expected to live and the proper ways to take care of yourself. Prior to reading the article, I knew that places like Japan would have a higher life expectancy rating because they have very good diets compared to Americans. In America, obesity rates are high and that could also be a factor in why the life expectancy rates in America aren't as high as we would want them to be. The target audience is anyone in America or anyone interested in biology. It has a positive impact in the audience because the audience was informed on how maintain a healthy lifestyle and make good choices with health. The purpose of this article is to inform people on how to live a long and healthy life. The main idea is that Americans should change their diet to possibly increase their life expectancy. The significance of this article is that the message applies to people across the world. Everyone reading has a connection to this subject in some way and it could be helpful advice. In relation to history, harsh conditions that people underwent such as improper care, lack of sanitary products, and the spreading of diseases, made the life expectancy of people long ago very minimal compared to today. Its is because of new technology and amazing doctors that we are able to live longer lives.

It's such a marvel that we have these technologies and researchers that do so much and to think of what could happen in the future!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting when we think about the effect that research and the development of our technology has had on our world, especially life expectancy
