Ethics Paper - Childhood Obesity and Nutrition - 4662 Words

Abstract Schools may have an ethical obligation to help in the prevention of the increasing propensity toward childhood obesity. School programs can be implemented to improve the nutritional quality of students’ diets. Students spend approximately one third of their day in school and consume one to two meals there per day, therefore justifying the importance of the responsibility to advise dietary behaviors and influence healthy decisions. In consideration of these logical methods, the ethical dilemma arises as good actions conflict with those that may be seen as a conflict of interest by interfering with the choices of children and their parents, faculty, and the community.

According to the CDC, one in three American children born in 2000 will develop type 2 diabetes (Seibel, 2008). Young people are also at risk of developing serious psychosocial burdens due to societal stigmatization associated with obesity. Between 2001 and 2005, the hospital costs for obese children increased from $125.9 million to $237.6 million, according to a study that tracked trends in childhood obesity on hospital care and costs. Researchers also identified a near-doubling in hospitalizations of youth aged 2 to 19 with a diagnosis of obesity between 1999 and 2005 – from 21,743 to 42,429 (Trasande, 2009). When people eat more calories than they burn off, their bodies store the extra calories as fat. A couple of extra pounds of fat is not a big deal for many people, however, if people keep up the pattern of ea ting more than they are burning off over time, more and more fat builds up in their bodies. Eventually, the body is holding so much extra fat that the excess fat may cause serious health problems. Factors that increase a child’s risk of becoming overweight include diet, inactivity, genetics, psychological factors, family factors, and socioeconomic factors. Regular consumption of high-calorie foods, such as fast foods, bakedShow MoreRelatedArgumentative Research Paper On Childhood Obesity1555 Words   |  7 Pages Argumentative Research Paper: Childhood Obesity Issac Jones ECPI University ENG 120 Advanced Composition M.

The Shawshank Redemption - 1051 Words

Review A story of hope is just about the last thing youd expect to find in a prison movie. But in The Shawshank Redemption, thats exactly what you get. Shawshank is the story of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a man convicted of murdering his wife and her lover and shipped to a maximum-security prison in Shawshank, Maine, for two consecutive life sentences. Over the next years (two hours, movie time), he finds his way to inner peace and self-reliance in the midst of the terror and inequity of the prison system. Its also one of those movies that is a work of both art and magic. It paints the picture of a man who will not relinquish the only thing that cannot be taken from him by external forces: hope.
