正文：

When it comes to the issue about the life quality of the elderly, some people

argue that the life quality of the old has been improved a lot, but others

believe that individuals still dread growing older.

On one hand, the elderly’s lives are better guaranteed by governments in the

current era. In the past when there existed wars and other disasters like

famine, old citizens cannot enjoy their lives comfortably and their safety may

even be threatened. However, with peace and development becoming the mainstream

currently, governments of most countries focus on economic development. Then,

the social welfare system could function better to maintain the life quality of

the elderly and their security could be ensured as well .

On the other hand, it seems that seniors also have new problems

contemporarily. In the past when individuals lived close to their extended

family, the emotional ties among them were much stronger and the old might not

feel lonely. However, people nowadays intend to dwell individually in order to

better protect their privacy and freedom. Such a phenomenon leads to that many

old people have to live separately from their children, because of which they

are prone to feel being isolated at present.

From my own perspective, these two opinions do not necessarily contradict

each other and both of them reflect the truth about the elderly’s lives. It is

true that modern technology enables senior citizens to better enjoy their lives.

For example, laundry machines and intelligent vacuum cleaner robots successfully

liberate the elderly from labor-intensive work, which allows them to spare more

time on leisure activities. However, it cannot be denied that mental health may

be a potential issue for many old people since they lack interaction with their

children or other relatives. Thus, in order to really improve the elderly’s

lives, the elderly could attempt to visit their children and friends more

frequently to avoid mental diseases, such as depression.
