Obesity rates are clearly on the rise in the USA. One of the populations most affected by that is adolescents. For this discussion, I would like for you to describe why you think we are seeing such a dramatic increase. Be sure to include nutrition in your discussion. Also, what role do you feel parents play in adolescent nutrition? Can you “make” a 14 year old eat their broccoli? Be sure to respond to at least ONE of your fellow classmates original posts.  Please rely to this post in few sentences :  I believe we’re seeing such a drastic rise in teenage obesity due to the technologies and ads that we’re being exposed to. Technology has made some of us lazy and very inactive. Teenagers prefer anything they could easily get, and fast food is one of the things along with simple, microwavable food. Usually fast foods and microwaveable foods are unhealthful but easy choices so people choose to do that. People are not aware of what’s going on in their bodies and the dietary concerns needed for their own health, and people only eat what tastes good without understanding that maybe it’s not as good for their own health. I think parents have a very important role to play in adolescent nutrition. To some degree, they can monitor what their child eats and they can eat healthy choices at home and choose healthier food while shopping. If they don’t bring fast food home, there’s no chance their child will eat it at home. They’re not supposed to cut it out entirely, but at least limit it. You can’t really compel a 14-year old to consume broccoli because if he or she doesn’t like it then that’s understandable, but it will be good for them to realize that it’s beneficial for them to eat healthier choices in the long term.

How does Macbeth depict the theme of deception and trickery?

This assignment is based on the movie The Wrong Man(1956) by Alfred Hitchcock. What genre as outlined by the book Prince does this chosen film fall into? How does it meet the genre requirements? Are there ways in which your film does NOT meet its genre? Prove your points by citing your film and Prince.  Do not use terms like “I believe, “personally,” “I think,” “I feel.” Do NOT use first person. Treat this reflection as if it was a short essay. Do not evaluate this film. Avoid a casual, chatty, gossipy tone. Finally, the abstract should mention in the first sentence what arguments you will make about the film.

You will present a case study of scientific misconduct (not covered in class). The assignment is to summarize the case, define the ethical issues, evaluate the actions taken, and describe how an adherent to a chosen normative theory would act. Bibliography Requirements: • You must use at least four different sources. Wikipedia may not be one of them. • Your sources must be of at least two different kinds: – Popular accounts of the issue: This includes newspapers, magazines, and websites (be sure they are credible). – Scholarly research: This includes articles in academic journals or in scholarly books. • You may also want to consider using government documents.

Any policy discussion happens within a political context, and the details of that political context, including its structure, powers, stakeholders, and more, help determine which types of policy solutions might be viable. Which stakeholders and domains are involved in and affected by this issue? What are their positions and why, what are the central conflicts and the areas of common ground? What policy context is the issue being discussed in (local, state, national, international, judicial, bureaucratic, legislative) and how will that context affect what is and is not possible?

Read the poem “Bedtime Story” by George Macbeth (1963). Once you’re done reading, answer the questions about the poem at the bottom of this page, supporting your responses with examples from the poem itself (a sentence or two for each question will be fine). You will need to use your inferential skills to understand this poem: again, this means drawing a conclusion about what you don’t know based upon an examination of what you do know. The “answers” are all here in the poem itself, but they are not always explicit, meaning you will have to look at what details, descriptions, ideas are presented here and then infer what’s happening/being explored based upon that. (By the way: I will be able to tell if you plagiarize from the Internet on this assignment. Trust me!)   Bedtime Story  by George Macbeth (1963) Long, long ago, when the world was a wild place Planted with bushes and peopled by apes, our Mission Brigade was at work in the jungle. Hard by the Congo Once, when a foraging detail was active Scouting for green-fly, it came on a grey man, the Last living man, in the branch of a baobab Stalking a monkey Earlier men had disposed of, for pleasure Creatures whose names we scarcely remember Zebra, Rhinoceros, elephants, wart-hog, Lion, rats, deer, But After the wars had extinguished the cities Only the wild ones were left half-naked Near the Equator: and here was the last one, Starved for a monkey. By then the Mission Brigade had encountered Hundreds of such men: and their procedure. History tells us, was only to feed them: Find them and feed them: Those were the orders. And this was the last one Nobody knew that he was, But he was, Mud Caked on his flat grey flanks. He was crouched, half- Armed with a shaved spear Glinting between broad leaves, When their jaws cut Swathes through the bark and he saw fine teeth shine, Round eyes roll round and forked arms waver Huge as the rough trunks Over his head, he was frightened. Our workers Marched through the Congo before he was born, but This was the first time perhaps that he’s seen one. Starting in hot still silence, he crouched there: then jumped. With a long swing Down from his branch, he had angled his spear too Quickly, before they could hold him, and hurled it Hard at the soldier leading the detail. How could he know the Queen’s Orders were only to help him? The soldier winced when the tipped spear pricked him. Unsheathing his sting was a reflex. Later the Queen was informed. There were no more Men. An impetuous soldier had killed off, Purely by chance, the penultimate primate. When she was certain Squadrons of workers were fanned through the Congo Detailed to bring back the man’s picked bones to be Sealed in the archives in amber. I’m quite sure Nobody found them After the most industrious search, though. Where had the bones gone? Over the earth, dear. Ground by the teeth of the termites, blown by the Wind, like the dodo (1963)   QUESTIONS When does this poem take place? How do you know? What is happening in this poem? Provide a brief (1-2 sentence) summary. What do the members of the “Mission Brigade” look like? How do you know? What is the significance of the poem’s title? The last line? Based on your critical analysis of the poem, what do you consider to be its central theme?
