Persuasive Essay On Public Health

Over 7,500 animals are killed in zoos because they are deemed surplus, as stated by Liz Tyson an animals rights activist. This giraffe in particular sparked a huge controversy. HIs name was Marius, he was homed at the Copenhagen Zoo and was 2 years old when the staff killed him with a bolt gun. Marius was then dissected and fed to lions in front of ongoing zoo goers. What got people fuming is that he was a healthy, young giraffe. Therefore I believe the killing of Marius should not be justified.

The last time I saw Charlie outside prison walls we were on the run. Charlie was on the run, not I, I just went along for the ride because he was my husband. Charlie was on parole, but he loved to drink his booze. In our state it's a violation to drink while on parole.

Many people in our society have been cast away and looked down upon because they are different from us. Others convey these messages including Harper Lee , in To Kill a Mockingbird , and "What , of this Goldfish , Would You Wish ? ",by Etgar Keret. We can accept others in many ways including ending discrimination , disregards people past action or choice , and being able to see stuff from others people's point of view. Humans need to always accept those who are different for the greater good of our society .

Constant controversy, immaturity at its finest, an American flag, a little blue birdy logo, a verified checkmark, more than 44 million followers, little elementary school arguments with Kim-Jong-un; the list goes on. If you are still unaware of what I am referring to, it is the twitter account of the current President of the United States (POTUS), Donald J. Trump. This man is one of the largest and most active gatekeepers in the realm of social media. Generally, one would assume information posted in a tweet from the POTUS would undoubtedly be accurate. How could that ever not be a reputable source? Why even bother to do some of your own research? Unfortunately, this is not the reality we live in; not everything presented to us through news, government or media is true and thus, everything you hear today requires a conduction of your own research prior to accepting anything as true. To be completely honest, if you did not know I was referring to the POTUS, you are probably in a much better position than his 44 million followers, as you have successfully managed to avoid one of the many gatekeepers/media outlets whose employed methods entail the plaguing that come with the concept post-truth politics. Though, you must keep in mind that is just one of the many outlets, as this concept is currently taking place all over the world. You, along with the rest of the population are essentially forcibly subjected to fake news every single day of your waking life whether you choose to believe it or not. On September 10, 2016, The Economist published an article titled “The Post Truth World: Yes, I’d lie to you.” The article claims the reality of the current political world; a reality The Economist suggests the general population is ignorant of. The article is severely opinionated and due to the multitude of reasons provided in support of their argument, many of which substantiated with an abundance of factual evidence, the authors were very convincing in their contention that post-truth politics are to be with us for many years to come unless changes are made immediately.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had to pay more than $100 for medicine at the pharmacy? More than $200? More than $500? Have you had to pay any of that for several months? Several years? I personally pay $500 a month, after insurance, for three vials of insulin every few weeks. I, or someone in my family, has been doing this since I was eight years old, so for about 12 years now. Don’t even get me started on how much I pay to go to an endocrinologist every months, to see an eye doctor once a year, to occasionally see a podiatrist or the several other types of medicine I get each month. If my father should pass away tomorrow I would no longer have health insurance. I rely on him and his job to provide me the insurance I need in order to continue living a healthy life. Without his assistance I would not be able to afford health insurance nor the medicine that I so

Staying healthy and avoiding getting sick is very important to me. So, some ways I can stay healthy is by washing my hands, by keeping my surroundings clean, and by simply getting vaccines are all good ways to avoid getting sick.

In the Book Thief, Markus Zusak wrote, “It kills me sometimes, how people die.” Zusak is upholding the age-old adage that dying, no matter how one dies, is undeniably despairing. The standard way of thinking about death has is that there is a great emphasis on how, we as people, die. For those who will die from terminal illness is often after enduring long and protracted suffering. When pain relief can no longer be provided, patients should have the right to request a death with dignity (DWD). This is a practice that allows the terminally ill to obtain and use a self-administered lethal drug. However, only in five states, one state being Oregon, is the practice legal. It is prohibited in the other 45 due to ethical and moral concerns. The illegality takes away a person’s fundamental right to choose how they die. I propose legalizing the Death with Dignity Act in all states because it is safe and ethical choice that should be an option for all patients facing a terminal illness.

Our minds are wired to always protect ourselves all the time so when we get trapped up in something, we are quick to defend ourselves or give excuses for what we did or didn’t do. We all do wrong because we are humans and we will always judge others or things because they are not in our favor. However, the problem lies in judging others who do not support us or our decisions or beliefs. My mother always had this African saying “do no try to remove a stick from another person’s eye when u have one in your own eye.” And growing up, I realized all she meant was we can’t always recognize someone else’s misdeeds but if we did the same thing it will be “okay.” I will bet that for so many of us, we spend our time in a state of self-delusion trying to justify our good and bad actions. When we are wrong or do something that is wrong, we will do anything to not acknowledge that maybe what we did was our fault “deceit encompasses the self, others, the family and even international relations” (Jahme). For example, you are tired at work and your level of efficiency seriously drops. Your boss complains to you about it and you go grumbling about it but not realizing that it was your fault that you did not get enough rest at night because you were watching tv so instead of making sure you get enough rest to help not to be tired at work, you stay sleeping late and trying to chug some coffee before you get to work only to be found sleeping at your desk. Catching ourselves before we get

Everybody sees it everywhere. “Lose 60 pounds in 6 weeks!” “Skinny is what’s in!” “Detox diet plan!” It’s a fair assumption to assume that the world, especially the United States, is obsessed with being healthy. From celebrity workout programs to expensive diet systems that make people lose weight, being fit is always what’s mainly focused on in the media, daily life, and nationwide. But with obsessions, come unhealthy actions and interests. Most people that anyone knows is most likely upset with some aspect of themselves. Whether it is the way they look, how they eat, or their lifestyle, obsession happens because of the nearly-impossible body types and lifestyles found in social media. On top of this, there are also restrictions and challenges that come with eating a healthy diet that seem simply irradical to address, and unhealthier foods are more available than ever. With these slowly arising issues, anyone would think the nation is making it hard for themselves to be healthy. The society the nation lives in is making it progressively more challenging to be healthy due to of the malnutritious lifestyles that are easier to achieve.

Most young adults can tell you that they’re healthy because of their physical appearance but is their health as healthy as they think? Throughout centuries, eating habits have significantly changed in the United States, as well as the citizens health. In the 1970’s food measurements were measured in small portions, unlike today, different serving sizes subvert the idea of having only one serving size. Many may have controversial ideas of why this happened but the matter of fact is that it happened and this occurred because of the American idiom, “Go Big or Go Home”. Today in the 20th century, bigger is better, this idea came upon the benefits of marketing because it’s easy for retailers to make extra money by producing bigger sizes and charging more for the same amount of food. If today’s generation does not change these schemes then this will borne into the future and cause serious problems. As a society it is important to know what can be done to change these conditions such as, acknowledging good and bad foods and how to choose them wisely. In order to prevent serious health problems, males and females of the ages 18 to 26 need to get educated about, what one’s body is consuming and how to prevent obesity and obesity related diseases, to decrease health problems in the future.

Gun shots,sirens blasting in the distance,cops on every corner,gang members taking over the city controlling the lives of the people. Welcome to Chicago, Illinois one of the most gut reaching cities in the United States that makes you think why do people still live in that certain environmental reality is they have no escape like if they were all caged lab rats . At the age of five I was dragged by my feet and the tiny nails clawing to the cement floor in order to escape my mother's furious grip. Meanwhile other kids my age were playing with their families in their front yard i was being yanked into my mother's gray minivan for a sixteen hour drive which was an eternity with six people smothered together like a peanut butter jelly sandwich.Every second was ticking by slowly i began to ache realizing everything and everyone was fading away in the distance as trees and homes began to fade away in the distance.

I want you to imagine that someone very close to you has recently been diagnosed with a serious medical illness. You are left in a panic and want to do everything possible in order to insure their safety, but then you realize that they are not covered. They weren’t able to get the healthcare that they needed to save their life, so you were left there helpless. You were forced to watch them suffer because they were unable to pay for the very simple treatment that they needed because of their healthcare, and that was what decided their fate. Now I want you to imagine what it feels like if because of their unfortunate healthcare, they were not able to recover and died. You would feel devastated that you couldn’t have done more to help your loved one, but then it dawns on you. You could have saved them. If only they were able to get the same treatment as someone who was able to afford better healthcare, then they would still be alive. Their life was sacrificed simply because they were seen as an opportunity to make money, rather than a person who needed help. Healthcare in America should be changed because universal healthcare is proven to be more effective, more lives will be saved, it is constantly receiving warranted attention from the media, and it gets rid of social classes in healthcare, even though many people believe that they will be paying for other people’s healthcare.

The pressures of society's standards can be overwhelming. As a juvenile, I constantly am faced with the pressure to overperform. I must be the best, the smartest, I must get ahead start in life. If I do not follow these guidelines, my life will crumble before I can successfully make it in the world. With the strain of adult life ensuing, and maintaining my youth, life becomes hard to bare. The key to maintaining a healthy life is found in mental health.
