Throughout history, a number of variables have been used to explain the longevity of life within particular cultures. Obviously life expectancy in this modern/postmodern age is impacted by moder medical technologies and the advancement of science.
From a social problems perspective, one's life expectancy is influenced not only in terms of where one lives, but also the availability of health care which can be different for people depending on what social group they belong to. For instance we know that one's economic position has a great effect on their health.
Happy Reading from Dr. Brooker!!!

Magic Cube Pro is a game where you need to carefully monitor the movement of the cups and guess which one the ball is under. With each win, the difficulty of the game will increase, which will complicate the task.

Thanks, Dr. Brooker!!
I was really interested in this comment about life expectancy so I did a little more research about it. I even found a few sites that will "calculate" your life expectancy. On the first one I got 85, but on the second I got 93, the second seems a little more legitimate.

I also found some information about the different life expectancies in different countries. (The U.S. is ranked number 48!)
