citizens in the top one percent 
of the upper class are able to 
afford proper health care. 
Depression and anxiety have 
become more common, and 
people have not been able to 
get professional help from 
specialists, and take the proper 
medicine. New studies show 
that two out of every three 
teens from the ages twelve to 
nineteen suffer from 
depression or extreme anxiety. 
Obese people are more likely 
to suffer from depression 
because they are not as 
confident with themselves and 
their body, and are facing 
constant pressures to loose 
weight, and look like the “ideal” 
person. Eating disorders have 
also become a common 
occurrence in the majority of 
teens, but this issue is often 
overlooked because other 
major disease have taken top 
priority of parents, medical 
staff, and counselors. The 
death rates have increased 
and the average life span 
decreased from living to be 
around eighty- five to ninety 
years old while the majority of 
people dying today are around 
the ages of sixty to 
seventy-five years old. The 
overall work ethic of the 
people has decreased. Trash is 
often found not in trash cans 
but right next to them, causing 
it to blanket the whole city, 
making it an eye sore, leaving 
an unattractive odor, and 
causing unsanitary living 
conditions. People are less 
willing to do jobs that require a 
lot of work because their 
sudden change of weight 
makes it harder for them to go 
outside and be active, or they 
are suffering from a severe 
disease that makes them 
unable them to do any 
physical labor. There has been 
a shortage of firefighters, 
police officers, construction 
workers, road pavers, 
plumbers, and other necessary 
jobs needed for a society to 
run smoothly and become 
successful. People have 
become so used to living in 
their own filth and they are 
distracted by the increasing 
death rates, and serious 
medical issues that they 
haven't been able to fix what's 
wrong with their broken city, 
and change the way they are 
living. Scientists say that 
people living here will “live less 
healthy and even shorter lives 
than their parents if the rising 
obesity is left unchecked.” 
Distopiye Ukufa is on a 
downward spiral with obesity 
being the key to all of its 
issues.
