Post-listening
1. How did Rosetans live in the 1950s Why did they have a low rate
of heart attacks at that time
People there looked after each other. They visited each other and
frequently organised community celebrations. In Roseto, almost all
households consisted of three generations. Old people were
respected. The social network they enjoyed protected them from the
pressure of the modern world. Because Roseto was a very closely-
knit community.
Post-listening
2. How did the community change in the 1960s What was the result
In the 1960s, young people would not keep up the traditional
lifestyle. They moved to typical single-family houses on the
outskirts of the town. They rejected traditional social bonds.
The first heart attack of a Rosetan under 45 happened in 1971.
Today the rate of heart attacks in Rosetans is the same as the average.
Post-listening
3. What do you think the findings of the research imply Or what can
we learn from the findings
The findings imply that closely-knit community help reduce old
people’s heart attack rate.
We can learn from the findings that we could build a closely-knit
family for the sake of old people.
