In 2012 chef Paula Deen was caught in a scandal of admitting to her inappropriate use of the N-word. It all started in March of 2012 when one of the workers Lisa Jackson at the restaurant Deen owns sued her for her racial and sexual comments. On May of 2013 that is where in court Jackson’s attorney asked Deen if she had inappropriately used the “N-word”. Right then and there Paula admitted to it and quote said, “Yes of Course”. In addition, she also admitted to having a theme at her restaurant for a wedding to have the waiters portrayed as slaves. To deem herself as not a bad guy for using the word inappropriately she said how it was just a joke and not to be directed as offensive. Yet, joke is on her because in June of 2013 she was dropped…
I believe Stephen Feldman’s argument is very accurate. I think his arguments are eye opening, especially his arguments about religious holidays. Around Thanksgiving time there are a lot of Christmas decorations. For individuals in outgroups it would be difficult living in a world of cultural imperialism where everyone assumes you practice the same religion as them. I also agree with the author’s main argument, the separation of church and state does not equally protect all American’s religious freedoms. I realized this when the author mentioned the case of Thornton v. Caldor Inc. the main argument in the case was to allow employees to not work on their religious Sabbath, which ever day that might be. The Supreme Court approved the Christian…
(VO) In a unique "20/20" experiment, two families have volunteered to change their diets and their exercise regimes to try and lose weight forever. They're working with Olympians Paul and Morgan Hamm and their trainer, Miles Avery, who's designed personal exercise regimes for both families. They'll be doing intensive, hour-long workouts, three times every week. Like 50 percent of Americans, our families haven't been doing enough exercise to gain any lasting benefits. That's all about to change.…
Countless diets are available to help individuals maintain a healthy weight. Weight loss programs can become very expensive even if it merely involves counseling. This paper is composed of a three day diet plan which was offered online free of charge. The SuperTracker interactive tool on the USDA website is available at no cost to anyone interested. Moreover, it acts as a coach, tracker, reporter and manager of a weight loss plan designed specifically for a participant’s needs and desires.…
Tim Wise had a different childhood than most, he was raised by the phrase "Race matters." As a pre-schooler he was sent to a mostly black school and learned to respect black authority figures. This resulted in him being more racially aware while growing up. His main argument was that racial inequality still exists today. As he went through college, he became very involved in a group that advocated for better rights for people in Africa. Several weeks later, he was asked what he had done to address racism in his own city, New Orleans. He then realized he hadn't done anything in his own town. He began working for the next twenty years to advocate for racial equality still exists. The argument is made that white people are blind to their advantages and privileges. According to Wise, white privileges is built into our system and has helped us without us knowing. White people in the US have had many more privileges compared to people of color, it's just built into the foundation of our…

These days it’s hard to turn on the television or surf the internet, and not be bombarded with a celebrity sponsored commercials, or the many pop up advertisement advertising how one can lose 20 – 30 pounds in a matter of weeks. The manufactures of these products would love for us to believe it’s as simple as taking a pill, or participating in one of the many new fad diets. But if it were as simple as swallowing pill or just dieting then why has the obesity rate in the United States almost quadrupled in the past quarter century (Meich, et al)? It’s because the main problems like poor family support and influence, and the living of sedentary lifestyle can’t be corrected by ingesting a pill.…
Throughout the course of the last nine weeks, my eyes have been opened to an entirely new world full of nutritional and exercising information. It is rough being a thirty-three year old husband and father, with an eye on trying to remain on this planet for as long as humanly possible. As parents, we all have goals we want to achieve. The usual suspects include seeing your children graduate high school and then college, walking your daughter down the aisle of her wedding, and being able to retire and continue to live a healthy and happy life. What I have come to realize through this nutritional and exercising information is that in order to accomplish this goal, there are certain aspects of my life that I need to change. I am not a particularly healthy eater. I do not exercise regularly. I mostly do what I can with the time I have available. I suspect this problem plagues many men across this country and around the world. In my state, the obesity rate is close to 30% and it continues to trend upward (Centers for Disease Control, 2011). Without a drastic change in lifestyle, I am simply adding to the statistics. The knowledge I have gained in this course has led me to believe that this is simply unacceptable. Something has to change, and I have a plan to make that happen.…
“Weight Watcher’s” has been around since the early 1960’s. Founded by Jean Nidetch who wrote a book entitled, “The Memoir of a Successful Loser” In 1973, a handbook was prepared for women about how to implement an exchange based diet. The plan works for some women but success rate for weight loss was only 25%. Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Medifast, Lap Band Surgery and Liposuction, has made millions off of obese men and women. The community supports these companies and procedures because it improves awareness on healthy living and positive food choices. However, obesity stems deeper than just poor food choices. It is a psychological characteristic that is taught, learned or genetically pasted on.…
When I now claim to believe in the rationality of God, I mean that the question is settled to my satisfaction. I do not have any doubts—after pondering the arguments, the balance of evidence and argument has a definite tilt. Although I do not claim that the Mark Howard view of the rationality of God would make a compelling case for why someone else ought to believe, I now am better able to articulate an argument that provides something for them to think about. I have moved beyond the realm of automatic, unchallenged acceptance of an inherited belief and am now better able to communicate the faith that Peter admonishes us to be able to give an account of. Admittedly, this is not the end of my inquiry.…
Obesity has become one of the leading causes of death in America. It can lead to heart disease, stroke, specific types of cancers and Type II diabetes. Statistics show that in 2011 35.7% of Americans are obese. That is more than one third of adults in this country. Worldwide it has been reported that over 500 million people are considered to be obese. With the increase in this global epidemic there have been many creations of ways to lose the weight. People started looking for the “quick” fix instead of practicing the basic rules of diet and exercise. Most of the quick fixes to lose the extra weight and body fat fall short of expectations, and it can lead people to look elsewhere for a way to be thinner. It’s been seen within the last decade that people will go through extreme processes and treatments to be healthier.…
People are always trying to lose weight: “Americans spend upwards of 60 billion dollars annually to lose weight”. Most weight loss tactics usually involve some type of quick way to shed those extra pounds such as diet foods, starvation, diet pills, supplements, eliminating certain foods, detoxes, etc. This list of ways to lose weight can go on and on, and they come with many different beliefs and misconceptions. People who lose weight in this manner have a tendency to gain the weight back, and often gain even more weight than when they started. Most of these ideas and plans to lose weight are only glorified advertisements to make losing weight look simple and easy, leading to many misconceptions to losing weight.…
The main issue with people who are looking to lose weight is that everyone wants that quick fix. They don’t want to do the hard work of completely altering their lifestyle in order to get fit and obtain a healthy weight but rather want something to do that for them without having to exercise or change the way they eat. The problem with that is that there is no quick fix that is permanent. Sure there are plenty of “diets” or meal plans out there such as South Beach, Weight Watchers, Advocare, Herbalife, and the list goes on and on, but they don’t always keep the weight off and often focus on losing weight but not how to then maintain the weight lost. They’re low in calories often and typically eliminate one specific thing rather than using smaller portions which is what is most effective. What’s difficult about restrictive diets is that it can hurt more than help. It can slow down your metabolism and many people are often misinformed on this and become confused when even though they’re eating less they’re still gaining or not losing any weight. Another issue with a quick fix is that of a more dramatic choice such as bariatric surgery. Although I do believe it can be life-saving as it brings down high blood pressure and can significantly help with diabetes, it is surgery and has its risks. There is a risk of 1 in 300 for death not to mention the many side effects that someone could go through during recovery. Also, there are people who get this procedure done and don’t make the lifestyle changes needed such as exercising and a healthier diet which causes them to gain the weight back. Exercise is a tool that should be used by people of all ages, weight, and goals to stay healthy. At least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity should happen a week and at least twice a week some form of muscle strengthening exercise should be done. An interesting point mentioned was that of weight gained at work. Some occupations often lead…
