Life Expectancy

Today in human geography with Mr. Schick we continued a unit and looked over our tests. In the tests we came up and either received one ring, two rings, or no rings. Most people in the class received no ring which means they got a 89 or below, and we were made clear that our test scores averaged the lowest throughout all of his classes. this therefore frustrated him like it would any, and only we can fix that. When we got back into our regular unit we started to talk about life expectancy, and that the united states ranks number 42 in the standings. We began to talk about why and came up with some solid reasons. Things like the American life style, which means how we eat fast and unhealthy food, and how we are constantly sitting in cars and not walking or biking. Another reason is drugs. The US has the highest percent of users of heroin. A lot of people in the US use heavy drugs such as this and other countries keep supplying because there making a ton of money. We lastly talked about how women seem to always live longer than men. The major reason as we discussed in class was that men typically put more stress on their body then women do. With jobs being the major factor in which stress infects the body.
