Lecture 8 "Life Expectancy/Our world is way better now than before" (09/19/2011)

 Throughout this lecture Rizzo continue argumentation the fact that living standards not only economically but also in terms of health and intellectual aspects have improved throughout history. We saw a lot of charts and graphs that show the following:

• Life Expectancy in the United States was always higher than the world.
• Cancer incidence increase due to the fact that we are detecting mechanism are getting better and better. Doctors are detecting cancers in places people will never do 30 years ago.
• The interesting thing is that now there is more people with cancer but less are dying.
• Quality of nutrition is way better now. (We are now taller)
• Not only health improvements were seen but also intellectual. Our IQ level averages increased. 
• The number of hours we work every week has decreased.
• The amount of vacations increase significantly. 
• Women make up 

       History, graphs and statistics have shown how better the world is right now. After this lecture we have learned that not only economically but in every aspect like the fact that our lives last even more It might seem silly but even in the aspect that our bicycles are better now than they were before. Rizzo told us this example which seem funny at first but truth. 

I made this lecture a lot more brief and concise as you told me to Alex in order for me to learn how to write the main points of the lecture and remembering everything a lot more easier without having to actually reading a whole page.
