Male Body Image

I believe that the Male body image vs the female body image are two polar opposite situations. The reality is that a male body is easier to maintain an acceptable shape or physique then a female one. This is mainly because the male body had more muscle and males are born with more athletic ability. There's no doubt that there is millions of out of shape males in this world but it doesn't seem as important to them as it does to females. It is a lot easier to turn fat into muscle then to just burn it off. This makes losing weight easier for males then females. Sure males want to be in good shape but I don't see males saying "I want Brad Pitt's Body" on a daily basis. As for females I often hear who they idealize and want to look just like. I think liposuction is a ridiculous procedure that only lazy and out of shape people do. If your really to large to loose weight then you have some serous issues. Just looking back at history it seems less and less people were overweight as time goes backwards and is it fast food to blame? I don't think so, I think the reason people in general are getting out of weight is due to a increase in technology and a increase of laziness. People seem like there is more important things than working out, like watching t.v or browsing the web and that is the major problem in the world we live in today. Therefor, regardless if your male of female there is a obease problem developing in this country and only yourself can take steps to prevent this to happening to yourself.

Body image is a very interesting subject. The stats tell a valuable story of life and it is sad to think about. Body image can be a very personal issue and embarrassing for most young females. As much as 88% of young girls feel negative about their body shape and up to half have a eating disorder. It is sad that the world we live in may judge people by their weight or physical appearance but it is inevitable for many reasons. I do not think it is difficult to get into shape. You can eat as much as you want as long as you exercise. I think a lack of exercise is the main reason for obesity now a days. People seem to be getting more lazy as time goes on. I am sick of people playing video games instead of playing basketball. I don't blame fast food for obesity strictly because of people generally being lazy. There is so much time over the week when I'm just sitting around, there is plenty of opportunity's to get outside and do something proactive. All in all this was a very disturbing but true article about body images in young adults and how we are brainwashed about our body's.

EOA 529-532 I have a Dream

Its vary sad to think that 100 years after slavery and the civil war that "African Americans" were still not free. Yes they were allowed to do most of the things they enjoyed but were caught in the middle of segregation. Dr. King was saying that he thought all of the equal rights laws should have been passed at the same time and it was unfortunate everything turned out how it did. It is amazing thinking how far our great Nation has came from slavery to segregation now to having an African American president it is hard to fathom. Dr. Kings I have a dream speech will never be forgotten as all the famous words sound so familiar everything I listen to it. Dr. King makes many references to the Deceleration of Independence in his speech showing the true meaning of being an American. Another important argument Dr. King had was that "all men are created equal" when it obviously didn't seem to be the case. All in all the civil rights movement was one of the most important historic event in our great nation of the United Stated of America.

Revising

Revising shouldn't be over looked when it comes to writing papers. Now a days people may think spell check can take care of there mistakes but it is often best when other peers review as well. Spell check might not always give you the best sentence structure and other mistakes are not uncommon. Revising is the final step in writing a paper and is just as important as the first. Don't make assumptions that may be a norm to you and baffling to others. Make sure every paragraph is coherent and you have a strong thesis and conclusion. Your spacing and font size are important so your paper looks the best. Most people recommend 12 point font and double spaced. This will also vary on the specific subject and teachers preference. Always keep your audience honest, what I mean by this is don't make your paper to predictable. When revising I think it is important to read over the paper twice to make any necessary revisions as possible. I have never been a person to read aloud but if you feel it works feel free. I think revising is a very important process in writing a paper and think the paper should be easy to read with a certain rhythm rather then a clumsy construction which keeps the audience guessing.

Evaluating a Web Site

I found this passage out of the textbook to be very informal and useful to evaluations. Evaluating Web pages is just like evaluating other important information, you must check for authenticity and have an opinion as well. This website like most school run web sites have an administrator (the Teacher or professor) which as the authority to control options and students who are seen by the administrator. There are many secure web sites used within the government to protect themselves from intruders and I'm sure it is the top of the line security system. I enjoy the polls on websites to see if others agree with you or not. Creating a web page can be difficult and take a lot of time but in the end its worth it if your happy with it. The most important thing about a web site is to keep it secure and update it very often so your news in new.

This bit of reading was very interesting to say the least. I do believe that animals play fair and are honest most of the time with each other. It is probable that animals communicate with each other, thus they have rules when they play games just like humans. Animals play all shorts of games all the time. Some might consider survival a game for most of them. Animals can be punished by allies and other animals by not getting to play with others. There is a mother for animals so its not like there own there own all the time. The bottom line is that I do believe animals have thoughts and moral rules just like humans and they act as civil as possible in having rules and consequences. The one subject about "fairness" for animals that is hard for me to understand is marriage. It seems that animals do not form relationships with the opposite sex very often. Most of the time the female is the dominant sex and the father is not a big part in the animals life. It is hard to think animals believe in marriage because they often mate with more then 1 animals and bread with others a lot of the time. However, I am one that does put humans on the top of the pedestal compared to other species because of the reality they we are the best combination of biggest, strongest, fastest, and most importantly smartest. Yes humans can be horrible people but it is still evident that we are better then animals.

This article makes many good points on how America has changed in the last five years. It is interesting how we are fighting in Iraq when Al Qaeda seems to be the more dangerous threat. It must be tough on people living in America from the middle east because of all the stereotypes that surround them. Relating this article to a previous one about terrorist attacks in the world. The article stated that the Middle East had the Least amount of terrorist attacks and a South American country had the most. I think that most of the Middle East terrorist attacks were aimed towards the USA as to a small percent from South America aimed towards USA. This article certainly seems to be a one sides argument for pro war. The author strongly believes in war to protect our country. There is no doubt that people are out to get us everyday and we have to rely on our troops to protect us no matter what. Sometimes I don't always agree with our Nations decisions but I respect them and hope for the best.
