There’s a very large issue these days with being too supportive of everything other people do. Supporting people is great as a principle, but it is getting out of hand. We, as Americans especially, are saying plenty of ludicrous statements about things ranging from our our health (specifically obesity) and disrespect towards others. We’ve gotten to the point where it’s actually offensive to say anything that could be wrong about somebody. As we all probably know, obesity is a very large problem in America.

It should not be okay for any child, teenager, or adult to blatantly disrespect an authority figure, and yet, our classrooms and respect for those serving our country are at their worst it seems. Kids are being contemptuous directly towards a teacher, yet there’s nothing to be done. Why? Because teachers are never favored when something like this is brought up. The parent always has the benefit of the doubt, even when there’s untenable evidence that their child is in every which way accusable. 70 years back, we had the ability to physically harm students. While it isn’t ethically right to whip a child or hit his (or her) fingers with a ruler, they did have the utmost respect towards all of their superiors. We don’t need to physically harm anybody, but we ought to instill respect into children, should we continue to have a civil

In America today one in three adults are considered to be obese. Over the years the rate of obesity keeps climbing up and up. Some people blame fast-food or the environment Americans live in.

What was once a rare disease, has now become an epidemic. Few health topics have initiated as much debate and controversy as obesity has within the past 15 years. The hope of new treatments progresses as obesity becomes the norm of our society and continues to change America every day.

Obesity is the most preventable health issue in America. It is considered the main problem in the United States and also has been around for centuries. Despite the fact that countless individuals are unaware about the increasing statistics associated with obesity, more than seventy percent of men and women within the United States adult population are overweight or obese.

Obesity has become increasingly more prominent in American society. The Unites States has even been termed an overweight nation. Some twenty to thirty percent of American adults are now considered obese (Hwang 1999 and Hirsch et al 1997). With this in mind, Americans constantly look around themselves determining their weight status as well as that of those around them. While some Americans do fit the healthy category, others enter the underweight, overweight, and even obese categories, all of which can be unhealthy.
Overweight and obesity are serious problems in America today. Over 37 percent of adults are considered to be
