Images of the elderly

[Daniel AV]

Hi!

I found on the internet the story of a man called Faujah Sing. He is from India, and he's 106 years old. He is famous because he became the oldest person in the world to run a marathon at age of 101. The most astonishing fact is that he started to practise running when he was 89 years old, after losing his wife and son.

I found on the internet too the story of a woman called Desiline Victor. She is from the USA. She is famous because she has 102 years old, and because she waited to vote several hours in her wheelchair on Election Day 2012 in Florida. Later, a bill was named after her ("Desiline's Free and Fair Democracy Act"), which will ease the voting process for everyone.

Hello!!
My answers:
In my country the erderler people have a big respeted in the society, because they are the voice of experience, however the working market doesn`t give oportunities, is common that the people think after of 40 years the person is old, and is difficult for get a job. When the erderler people live in a poor city is frequently their sons left them. The law sanction even with the prison this behaviour. I am a doctor and I attended some erderly people, they feel sad for his diseases and the familier`s attidudes.
Thanks for your attention!!
