Alrighty. Number three. This time I think I'm going to write about the effect of television on growing. So I could do effects due to violence on television. Or focus on obesity due to television. Thoughts?
Now I'm thinking about doing three causes of obesity in America.
diet?
inactivity?
television?
culture?
technology?
Thanks for all the comments guys! After researching I think I'm writing on environmental causes of obesity. my three points will be individual activity/exercise, diet, and family/friends/society.
I think your essay should focus on the obesity and television because our country is struggling with a large population of obese Americans. Just thought I'd help kim!
ReplyDeleteTry to make you topic as specific as possible. It is easier to form a thesis and find credible sources.
ReplyDeleteSocio-economic class will be an ineresting cause
ReplyDeleteI think it would be interesting to do the effects of violent tv on young kinds. i'm sure you can find a lot of good information on that easily.
ReplyDeletei think that it would definitely be a good idea to analyze the obesity factor and how kids dont go out and play anymore!
ReplyDeleteI like what dr k has up there, why is it that the poor tend to be overrepresented among the overweight? and there are some native Alaskan tribes that might provide some useful examples.
ReplyDeleteciao
I think its a great topic, if you dont get opinionated like half of the comments up here about, seeing as obesity has more to do with than going out to play and social class, such as genetics, and what people are predisposed to from the way they are raised as well as how people can develop food disorders, if you stick to the objective and solid facts this could be a great paper
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, i always find opinionated papers more interesting- as long as they're based in fact, of course.
ReplyDeletecheers
well to answer the question of why low income people tend to be more obese..
ReplyDeletethey usually live in inner cities where it's harder to walk around and aren't many places to exercise
they work more jobs due to lower income, and their jobs are usually a commute, so no time to exercise
you don't find many supermarkets or good food stores in inner cities--fast food and small food stores do not offer fresh, healthy food
there is a lot more info out there on just that topic. thanks for the comments everyone
