Technology is controlling and changing our everyday lives. I strongly believe Gary Shteyngart in his article “Only Connect”; not only is the I-phone changing everybody lives, but any other smart phone that exists in today’s society. Shteyngart says “With each passing year, scientists estimate that I lose between 6 and 8 percent of my humanity, so that by the close of this decade you will be able to quantify my personality.” He is correct because every year technology changes and advance. Each year people personality decrease in how they act in their everyday life. Smart phones have everything you can possibly imagine. Society is becoming too comfortable and lazy because they have all the answer they need rite at the palm of their hands. Smart phones have become very addicting to the point that people are not realizing the damage it’s doing to them self.…
Society today is reliant on technology and you can conclude that in future years the technology will just get better and better. You would think people would be happier and life would be described as a Utopia. In Ray Bradbury's Farhenheit 451, soicety is the farthest from it. This book takes place in 2053, and it would actually be described as a dystopia. Murder, suicide, and uncompassionate people are deffinitly not signs of a Utopia. It's the complete oppisite.…
* Now people drive their cars, that is not good for health and the environment…
Foods today are not the same as they were 100 years ago and life today is more sedentary than ever! With the addition of many technologies in the last century, including cars, fast foods, computers,…
One truth, is that in military service, it is always important to be on time and at the right place, and never late. Different organizations have different definitions of ‘on time’. Prior to coming to Bravo three-thirteen, my last unit was happy with everyone being five minutes early to any formation. It took me a while to adjust to Bravo three-thirteen, because at Fort Sill they defined being exactly ten minutes early as late. Since the unit deployed to Camp Bucca, Iraq, the unit as a whole has been at times a lot more easy going, most of the time. I remember once, I was running behind due to not being able to find my car keys or identification card or something, and wound up arriving about one minute before the formation was called. My section chief at the time was angry at me and my platoon sergeant was embarrassed because he had been thinking I was going to miss formation and the First Sergeant knew not everybody was in ranks at the time. I have almost always strived to make my immediate superiors look good, whenever it has been possible and felt badly for letting them down that time.…
One reason some people have problems with obesity is they live very convenient lives. “Does the family have clearly stated rules and are punishments logical consequences for rules that are broken (Kelly D. Brownell & John P. Foreyt)?” Many people don’t have to exercise and do not eat healthily at all. Most people take the easy way by taking elevators instead of climbing the stairs, or if they are hungry they go to a fast food restaurant instead of preparing a low fat meal at home. For example, in my family if nobody wants to cook, we usually go out and pick up something to eat, usually high calorie fast food. People today can also become so busy they don’t even attempt to exercise or eat health foods. The reason I know this is because I am busy almost every day. With school work, my job, and family duties I find little time for exercise or food preparation. Eating healthily and staying fit is a lifestyle that everyone needs to switch over to so they can have more energy and also live longer.…
Today’s society is actually going through an obesity epidemic. Instead of being outside all of the time and working or playing, the younger generation stays inside and plays video games. Another thing is that we are a generation of moving fast and being on the run 24/7. This leads people to make bad food decisions and eat a lot of fast food instead of cooking healthy food for their selves. Being constantly busy and on the go also means less time for exercise. These are all factors that go towards causing this obesity epidemic.…
All around the world, humans are negatively affecting themselves without realising. Whether if it's too much consumerism or too much waste in the globe. Humans don't realise that when they waste or consume too much,they aren't just affecting themselves, but also the earth and people around them and everything else that's living!…
There are many factors that perpetuate obesity. Over the years, there has been a reduction in the amount of physical activity that an individual undertakes in a day. This is mainly due to much technological advancement that has lessened the need for physical movement. For instance, one does not need to shuttle across a room to switch television stations; there is a remote to do that. One no longer has to take the stairs to a certain floor of a building, elevators do all the climbing. There is no doubt that technology has made life easier, but at what cost to our bodies? A simple task as climbing a flight of steps reduces cardiovascular complications significantly. When done routinely, it could be the difference between coronary thrombosis and the lack…
Technology also harms health. Some people spend all of their free time starting at a screen for endless hours, like a boy named Sean. He “plays for four hours after school and twice that on weekends.” This causes him, and other people who do the same, to get little to no physical activity. Inactivity can lead to many health issues, including obesity and heart disease.…
People are getting lazier than ever before. They need convenience in everything. They would like to eat some instant foods such as cup noddle or frozen beef pie instead of cooking by themselves. Another point is that fast food is becoming more and more popular as that is cheaper and tasty. It is suitable for people who have no time to cook food at home. There are undoubted that pizza and fries are yummy but you would eat a lot of MSG and seasoning that is not good for human health. I personally think we should change our eating habit, for example, we should try eating less meat and more vegetable and fruits. Also, we need to drink at least 8 cups of water every day instead of drinking soft drink or coffee that can cause diabetes( or heart attack diseases.…
WE all need to be conscious regarding our health, daily exercise, and nutritional habits. Although a small number of people incorporate some sort of diet and exercise into their daily schedule, the majority still do not see this as a priority. Even though there are many new and fast acting diet and exercise regimens advertised to help over weight individuals, not many work. “The ultimate cure for obesity is exercise”. The reality is that people need to accept that the only way to stay healthy is by eating properly, and leading an active lifestyle.…
The manipulation that technology has on the world has become more locked than it once was. Humans are more tied down than ever in view of the fact that humans are attached to technology and this attachment to technology limits their social interaction. Yes, information is at one's fingertips, but they must know how to navigate the stream of digital media, which is growing more complex as time goes on. Social Media and wireless communication are abused too often for insignificant purposes and has been corrupting the young minds influenced by this new age.…
Many people can handle it, however what about the youth of the future generations? Just imagine the next generations retreating to their high techy portable-devices when they have nothing to do or talk about having all these past time apps can sure lessen the time for a kid to use creativity and make up their own thoughts. Also, with all these social networking apps commonly used with iPhone, people get very caught up in their social image. They tend to post statuses and pictures of what people will appreciate like a hot pic or a cool status that everyone can comment on. The media is putting pressure on these kids and having these social webs everywhere they go with their phones, can be a serious threat for finding their own identity. Finally, doing many tasks that would usually take you energy and managing time skills are also decreasing. With a touch of a button, you can take care of the bill you didn’t pay, and buy those groceries that can be delivered instead of walking up an down the isle. As technology develops, less effort is needed throughout everyday. At this rate, this lack of energy could cause people to do everything from their couch, leading to less physical activity and even…
However many organizations believe that the present generation and their offspring’s will age unhealthy compare to our parent’s generations (Nestle & Jacobson, 2000). The present generation will live sicker because they practice unhealthy behaviors. These behaviors include the social behavioral, environmental and economic conditions that are the root cause of poor health, wellbeing and illness. Although there are progresses made in health issues like smoking, safe sex, and more people are drinking heavily, less citizens exercise enough to maintain good health, and obesity rates have increased in the last years. Obesity is a major concern in American population which leads to many other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol and heart attacks. I am concerned about the growth of obesity because I believe that healthy eating habits are the only solutions to healthy and prolonged…
