Life expectancy

Today in class, on October 24th we continued our unit on population stand settlement and we learned a new section on life expectancy. Life expectancy means the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. The country Monaco has one of the highest life rates for women it is (93.58) and for men it is (85.63). Also this country is one of the richest countries on the Mediterranean Sea which is a benefit because they have the best health care and people are rich and don't really have to worry about other outside and money problems so there stress levels and worries are probably lower which helps. The United States life expectancy is (77.32) for men and for women it is (81.97). This is very low because of all the new things we have available to us for instance drugs have increased which is causing more people to use them and get quickly addicted which decreases there life expectancy because it ruins there body. Also another example would be pollution because when you breathe bad air in it affects your lungs and your breathing which can lead to major sickness.
