Summary
This article is about
aging. Aging is the process of matureing and experiencing various developments
in biological and sociological terms. However, being born in the same year does
not lead to the same sociological development. This is because various social
patterns such as the environment of growing up and the level of education are
different from each other. Therefore, aging is a complex process that can not
be defined only biologically. Aging is divided into various biological ages,
and there is a sociological contradiction between them. Because of the
influence of society rather than biological instincts, young people want to
look older, and adults want to be younger. Often, ageism also occurs between
young and elderly.

New/Interest I learned
It is very interesting
that the judgment of 'young' about 'old' is judged differently according to the
life expectancy given differently in each country. I did not think of any other
case because I had only thought about it in Korea. In some countries, '50s' may
be 'middle-aged' and in other countries 'elderly'.
The poverty problem of
the elderly is also serious in Korea. The poverty problem of the middle-aged to
elderly people who suffered many troubles such as the civil war and the IMF is
particularly serious. However, I think the problem has never been corrected,
although it has continued to pose a steady problem. In the United States,
however, the introduction of the social security system and much effort have
been able to reduce the poverty rate of the elderly. The graphs show a lot of
changes. This graph shows that the problem of the elderly poverty has a clear
solution. Korea should try to make a positive change like the United States.

Discussion
There are several
limitations on young people who are deemed less mature. No suffrage, no
marriage, no abortion, etc. It will be discrimination for some mature
adolescents, and it will become a hedge against less mature teenagers. For the
latter youth, we are constraining the law. Do you think this is right? And have
you ever felt uncomfortable because you were unable to do something because of
your age when you were a teenager?
