The 'truths don't lose heart' makes you love the world more
The world is witnessing so many dizzying changes every second, every minute, every hour. In addition to modern scientific advances, we cannot fail to mention worrying global challenges.
From war, epidemic to poverty or social evils, all make us look 'black' about this world. However, if you read the facts below, you will certainly love the world in which we live a lot more.
War is always considered a disaster of the whole world. However, statistics from experts at the Oslo Peace Research Institute show that the number of people who died of war in the first decade of the 21st century has reached the lowest level in 100 years.
That number stood at 55,000, about half that of the 1990s and 1/3 during the Cold War (1947-1991).
Besides war, poverty is always considered a life-threatening challenge for the whole society. However, in the 20 years from 1990 to 2010, the number of people living below the poverty line in developing countries has decreased by 22% thanks to proper social policies.
Not stopping there, the living conditions are increased and the average life expectancy of people increases . Sociological statistics show that the generation of the 1900s largely did not survive the age of 50. However, at present, the average life expectancy in many countries even reaches 81 years.
In the field of medicine, people are coming very close to helping people who are never old. Specifically, experts at the University of California have found the gene called AMPK that helps fight cell aging.
If making this gene work in the human body, an old age for all humanity is at our fingertips.
Even when people get older, experts prove that the older we get, the happier we are. The reason is that older people often remember good memories and pay more attention to making them love more than when they were younger.
Not only older people but also children - the future of the world also has an increasing life. According to a 2012 report published by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of children who died before their fifth birthday is now halved compared to in 1990 (from 90 / 1,000 children to 46 / 1,000 children).
HIV / AIDS is known as an irreplaceable century disease. However, with medical advances, the world has documented the first case of removing the HIV virus from the body.
In addition, if in 1996, a 20-year-old patient with H only lived for 3-5 years, now, they can live until 69 years of age if properly cared for.
Experts also proved that people are more intelligent and talented. Specifically, the average IQ of the world today has increased by 24 points compared to 1914.
In science, people call this phenomenon Flynn effect , meaning that the next generation becomes more and more talented than the previous generation.
Thanks to propaganda and social mobilization, the gender balance in the world has improved . According to the UN report, the global male-female imbalance rate has dropped by 20% between 1995 and 2011.
