What problems might this cause in society? It is certanly true that nowadays the attitude to old people becomes less respectively in many countries. This essay will describe reasons and problems of this phenomenon before Russian experiences is given. There are several reasons linked to the elderly people are not respected properly. First, definitely contemporary live connect with high technology. Actually, the elderly often not so good at new technology as their children and sometimes it becomes a reason to less discussion with parents. Consequently, relationships between parents and children are getting worst. Second, I am convinced, that the parents show bad example for their kids when they talk to kids about being independend and trying to archive own aims as so fast as possible by themselves. At the same time parents pay less attention for own children trying to earn more money and managed to a career. Perhaps, when this kids grow up they equally will less caring about parents. However, there are some problems are raised an insufficient respect to older people. It becomes quite evident to me that in this occasion the elderly get not enough attention from their families. Actually, as a result, our government should spend more money for building nursing houses and ,of course, preparing special stuff for them. I know exactly some countries even invite foreign nurses because nowadays people live longer then previous ages that is why government need to a huge amount of nurses to provide elderly all necessary in nursing houses. In conclusion, taking all reasons about unrespecting the elderly it seems to me like a terrible trend. For instance, in south part of my country people often follow local traditions and all families generations live together and it is normally when young generation help and take care about elderly one. I am convinced, all families should do the same for their members of families.

The government of a country should pay for health care and education of its citizens. Many people believe that the government of a country should pay for health care and education of its citizens. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your own opinion. Actually, every government should pay attention their citizens especially in such areas as education and medicine, because it helps people feel satisfied. I am convinced that there are a lot of reasons to support this opinion. First and foremost, government should invest to own citizens, because in the future they will pay taxes and consequently will be provide government’s economical programs. At the same time if it is certainly true that healthy people are working more efficiently and longer. In contrast sick people spend less time at work and more time in the hospitals and go through out the medical examinations. That is why, it is very important is supporting citizens health from early age. There is no doubt that educational people is a basis for employers and country’s economies in the whole. Definitely, people who has a higher education can find more high salary job and absolutely exact will pay more taxes and of course it very profitable for government. Probably , if government provide their habitants different kind of education it can prepare needed specialists in certain areas in economics. In this occasion government can regulate amount of specialists in each sphere. On the other hand, there is a drawback in this situation. If our government will resources to humans health and education it would responsibly to have some guaranties that people do not leave country after education. And it could be return it investment.

Homes for the elderly. In some countries the elderly are put into nursing homes rather than being taken care of by their family. Do you see this as positive or negative development? Actually, in many developed countries retirees left own families and come to homes for the elderly. I really agree with this decision, because nobody want to be an abuse for their family. There is no doubt that old people are provided qualified medical service and care for the elderly and help them, because even simple actions such as taking a shower, puting on or taking off something of clothes, are complicated for them. Old people need regular to go through medical examination, because they have many aging diseases and must take a medicine and keep own health. Really all of them they can receive at the home for the elderly. The second reason for staying retirees at nursing homes is that old people have to be surrounded by the same people therefore they can meet with other elderly and find common interesting themes to discuss. At the nursing homes they can spend time with each other playing board games, cards and other games and they don’t think that they disturb anybody, for example their relatives. In addition homes for elderly often prepare various parties for their inhabitants. I mean dancing, clubs by interests and other events. It helps the elderly not to feel sad and enjoy life. In conclusion living at the nursing homes is more convenient for old people, because there they can get all they need. There is medical service, help and care, entertainments and spend time with pleasure. All of these allow the elderly to feel better and live longer.
