my opinion

I think that I am happy to be born in Japan. The article says that increase in mortality of middle aged white American is because their live are so harsh. Financial crisis leads to a big recession, they experienced unemployment and have home loan. Their anxiety troubles them. So the number of suicide in middle aged white American increase more and more. Moreover, generally speaking, it is said that American is fat. Their diet includes so much cholesterol and sugar such as hamburger, steak, cola. I image so. That is not healthy. Those foods shorten their longevity. Also it is said that these age must look after their parents and children. Their parents retire and grow old cannot do homework by themselves little by little. Their children grow up and enter the high school and college. That is so cost. But their children still cannot work. So middle aged parents pay these cost. Such a responsibilities damage their mentality.  

 But I have a question. For sure financial crisis threatens middle aged white American’s life. And fatty foods influence their mortality. But other racial American must experience and eat them. There are many ethnic groups in America. Black and white yellow people live in America. They all have housing loan and eat hamburgers. Why only a number of white American die? Why that trend is marked? Furthermore, suicide rate of them is ranked 2^nd. I studied these reasons. However, I can’t find out clear reasons.

However, at first, I think that American government should change rules that are about drugs. In Japan, marihuana is included in illegal drugs. But in America, it doesn’t be prohibited. Nowdays, traffic accidents increase by illegal drug users. According to investigate, among things that are detected from accident drivers alcohol is 1^st and marihuana is 2^nd.  Marihuana have an effect on mental and physical healthy. Marihuana dulls our determinant. Good points are nothing.  Increase in mortality of middle aged white American should be stopped right now. Stress in society is not be given out by drug. We may not avoid home loan and crisis and responsibilities. But we must cope with them. Talking with friends and playing sports help you relax. We have to look for hobby, things that make you happy. That may decrease mortality of middle aged white American.
