Ageing 

          Human, which is one of the highly complicated ones among living creatures in the world, is presumed 

to live nearly 75 years in Turkey, acoording to the researches. In my opinion, it is not a bad score when it is 

compared to other well-developed countries such as Japan, England, United States, Canada where lif-span 

is rising to 80s because of their high level of life standards. If it is needed to examine a human's life, it can be 

divided into 4 parts as infancy, youth, adulthood and old age.

          First of all, infancy can be regarded as a primitive time since our baby just a receiver rather than a 

giver except for his breath to the nature. Simply, a baby is in at any case accepts whatever is served to him. 

Therefore, he is not going to maintain his life without proper care which involves such matters as feeding, 

hosting, nursing. Afterwards, he begins to meet the new life by producing a few words, understanding his 

parents, responsing againist the events and so on. Also, when he takes his first step, he is fairly celebrated by 

their parents like Neil Armstrong, as if he is stepping on the moon. Thereafter, his biological growing 

continues. Smoothly, his mother and father start to mark the place where his lenght reaches, every year. 

Gradually, infancy gives its place to childhood. When he gets aproximately 7, he goes to school, begins to 

write and read. And there is a one more step to the monstrosity, puberty.

          Puberty is the time that child can not be defined or understood properly because of his ridicilous and 

sudden acts. Also, it is the time when adolescents realise their genders as if it is an extraordinary, original 

thing. Moreover, arising of the ego identity emerges at that ages. The child cares very much about how he is 

understood and regarded by the other people, society. Then, sense of identity, stating the points of his 

caharacter, generally starts to be constituted. As for the youthfulness, I am on the opinion that, it is like a 

diamond. When human comes to his youth, he begins to shine. Also, if he finds love in that age he can be 

seen as lucky. It is this period that, time shows its gratifying colour. That is, its a time without wrinkles, 

ilnesses, pain, crowfoots. Also, it is a season without wisdom, so there has been no young person without 

simple, silly mistakes. Still, youth keeps it attraction and is deserved to be lived.

          Thirdly, but not lastly, world changes. Now our young boy has been a man who has responsibilities 

such as work, military service, child and other services to his family. Surely, all of these responsibilities bring 

tension, depression, illness with them. Quite slowly, people start to feel his age with his weakening neural, 

immune, respiratory systems and all other ageing systems that we can count. Saddly but truely, day by day 

he loses his power.

          All of this weakening is called, ageing. Our man when he reaches to his 60s can smile when he thinks 

about his past memories, whole life, but just a child can spoil his temporary happiness with some words such 

as old man, grandpa, greybeard. In my opinion, it is a funny part of the fact that old people resemble to 

babies with their attitudes, responses, everyday that passes. Sometimes, when they try to remember their old 

days, time shows us that it defeated them. After they lose the battle which they have done with time, they 

reject to accept it at first but at the end they all realise that they have to surrender and give in.

          As a conclusion, in general aspects, this essay simply narrates how a human life is and it can be lived in 

roughly 4 periods. Regarding this, after seeing how my 2 sections have passed so quickly, I can briefly say  

that there left just 2.5 parts of mine that I am going to be involved in, unfortunately.
