There are many different factors, but the primary ones seem to be that men are much more likely to participate in high-risk activities (i.e. Hazardous jobs, drive too fast as teenagers, etc. ), and they are also much less likely to seek medical attention if something is wrong until it's unbearable. Stats also show that men are less likely to be health-conscious, but I think this is changing a bit.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
