The iconography of Christ in the High and Late Renaissance period was based on the role the artist perceived him to be. Renaissance artist used their art as a religious tool to convey the meaning of Christianity to people who could not read, see, or could not understand the Bible. Many artists perceived Christ in their works as he is described in the Bible. In the Bible Christ is described to be our savior, our teacher, a miracle worker, our loving father who forgives us, the perfect one, and the son of God who was crucified for our sins. However, some artist during this era perceived Christ in their own way. There are many artist during the High and Late Renaissance that depicted Christ in their work however, Leonardo’s Madonna of the Rocks, Tintoretto’s Last Supper, Veronese’s Christ in the House of Levi, Michelangelo’s Pieta, and Last Judgement most exemplify their different perceptions of Christ.

Fighting Fire with Fire In Elizabethan England, men were considered the dominant gender in society. Women were expected to be submissive, obedient, and caring. Men often took somewhat controlling measures to create the “perfect” wife. In Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”, Katherina is frequently compared to a shrew because of her rebellious behavior and need for independence. When Petruchio travels to Padua looking for a wife and hears about Katherina’s wealth, he develops a brutal method for “taming” her wild personality and marries her.

The non-profit organization is giving a voice to the individuals affected by child obesity and helping them towards better health through education, advocacy, and support (“Obesity Action Coalition”). This organization is raising awareness and improving access to prevent obesity. The OAC offers many programs to fight obesity. OAC Star Program supports the mission of the OAC by seeking individuals who volunteer their time to make a strong impact in state advocacy initiatives (“Obesity Action Coalition”). OAC offers support groups to fight against obesity. They specifically explain the resources to fight obesity in each state (“Obesity Action Coalition”).

While most people may be aware of the problem of childhood obesity, they may not know its magnitude and the consequences it inflicts on the individuals affected and society as a whole. A policy like this will fund programs for promoting health, wellness, physical activity, and education programs. For example, Grantmakers in Health (GIH) is "an educational nonprofit dedicated to helping foundations and corporate giving programs improve the health of all people by strengthening the grantmaking community's knowledge, skills, and effectiveness" ("Raising Awareness on the Childhood Obesity Epidemic"). This nonprofit has been committed to reducing the rates of childhood obesity for over a decade through raising community awareness and providing education tools. The work and success seen here can be legislatively implemented on an even larger scale to make positive changes in the state of California to battle childhood

I will be researching childhood obesity in the United to states because I want to better understand the cause's and how it can be prevented.  I have chosen to research childhood obesity to help my readers understand the influence they may have in children's lives and in their future. By asking questions such as, when does the onset of child hood obesity occur, I hope to find out what social institutions play the biggest role. With social institutions comes the question of relevance of socioeconomic status, and the impact that has. I lastly will be asking the question of the long term effects of childhood obesity. My goal is to understand why so many

Childhood obesity is a growing problem in America and it is important to develop a plan to combat the issue. My plan is to stop childhood obesity in its roots by encouraging schools to promote healthy eating and exercise. I would institute programs in schools (via contacting government officials, making presentations to schools, etc.) to educate kids about the proper nutrients they need to maintain a healthy diet. Many high schools require a health class, but I think we should also require students in fifth or sixth grade to take a health class that introduces them to basic health information. By creating classes that inform students of the benefits of eating healthy early on, such eating habits will improve. Schools should also have stricter requirements on school lunches. There should be government regulations

Childhood obesity has doubled in children and quadrupled for adolescents in the last thirty years. Obesity and overweight rates in children are higher among families living below the poverty line. The diabetes rate is higher in children living in poverty. Families that are living in poverty cannot afford the fresh produce and healthier foods due to the rising cost.

How much do you love your kids? One of five kids is obese in the United States between the ages of 5 and 11. Childhood obesity has become a serious problem in the United States since the 1970s when it started to spread significantly to become an epidemic that needs urgent solutions. Fatness is a sign of health damages because it increases the risk of having diseases in childhood and adulthood as well, such as respiratory system diseases, diabetes, hypertension and heart diseases which in turn might lead to death.

I chose this topic of childhood obesity because it is a something that I see every day. If a child is obese it is the parents fault. An obese child faces health risks and some have self-esteem problems.

Over the past decade there has been an epidemic on the rise. This epidemic is child obesity. We spend millions of dollars each year trying to help or prevent the onset of obesity. Some of the reasons are due to our youth consuming more processed foods and not being physically active. However, we as a society cannot just blame the laziness and not eating the correct types of foods as the cause for obesity. This problem is more complex than people think and we can fix it, but we do need government cooperation. There are many causes of obesity some of which are poverty, food insecurity, parenting, and physical activity.

Heart Disease. Breast Cancer. Lung Cancer. These issues are well known and attention about these issues is made aware to our society. For example, PSAs, special awareness months, and well known charities have dedicated themselves to these issues. Childhood obesity is a huge issue among our children that has not had as much luck in being at the forefront of the public’s mind as the aforementioned health issues. Childhood obesity is a growing health issue in the United States. Studies have shown that it affects more than 30 percent of the children within this country. It is now known as the most common chronic disease of childhood. The number of cases has tripled

Obesity is the condition of being grossly fat or overweight. It also can be an abnormal accumulation of body fat. Being obese as a child seems to increase the chance of being obese in adulthood. Childhood obesity beginning as early as 2 years of age can affect health in adulthood, as these children are at increased risk of becoming obese adults. Also, the children would be more likely to develop chronic disease. Some adulthood statistics are about 68.8 adults are considered obese. About 8 percent of women are considered to be obese. These statistics are the years 2009-2010. I received this information from https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health.../health-statistics/.../overweight-obesity-statistics.aspx. The statistics below show the percent of children that are considered to obese between the age 2-19.

Childhood obesity is a significant issue that is plaguing the youth of the current era. As time goes on, countless children are faced with the tribulations of an unhealthy lifestyle, leading to innumerable health hazards. Children are not given the utilities needed to stay fit, resulting in them becoming increasingly obese. Parents and schools must do more to encourage young children to follow a healthy diet and exercise routine.

adolescents are still young children who may still need disciplining from time to time as they figure out how to be the person they want to be , and how to fit in with the ideals as they develop as they grow. I will be talking about friendship, independence, and morals and rules. These change over time as they come of age. Reading this article makes me to be more responsible in life because my mom used to say you are not an adult unless you have responsibility. Hope you enjoy this 5 paragraph essay.

Leann Birch, Ph.D. ,once stated at the annual meeting of the American College of Nutrition, “If we wait until kids start school, we miss our best chance to prevent obesity”. Children are living in a world where they are tempted to everything they see and find themselves in a situation where they are not taught what is right and wrong when it comes to eating and are influenced by their surroundings. In the different articles its stated that the main focus was to find a way to minimize the number of children going through childhood obesity and also how parents can prevent childhood obesity in their children's life at a young age. There are many ways children are exposed to unhealthy nutrition and which has increased child obesity but there
