The topic I have chosen for my research paper is Childhood Obesity and the lifelong effect it can have on a person, as well as the impact it has on society. I know that being obese as a child can affect a child’s social life, self-esteem, and health. Childhood obesity might also determine the way they live their life as an adult. Habits and choices made as a child can carry over into adulthood. Childhood obesity can have an effect on family, friends, school systems and the medical field. Childhood obesity is a problem throughout the United States. This problem seems to be increasing over time. Obesity is thought to cause more medical problems which can cause health care costs to increase.
I will need to find out how obesity does affect a child’s self-esteem, family and friends. I will also need to research the impact of obesity on school systems and the health care fields. I would also like to know if the rate of childhood obesity is really increasing, and if so, by how much. Are they certain parts of our country with higher rates of obesity? Are there any programs to help prevent or treat childhood obesity? Are there any direct causes for childhood obesity? Is it genetic? Does society have an impact on childhood obesity?
Good topic with alot of controvery obviously as we saw during class! ha well i think you will be able to find alot on this topic. I like that you chose a topic that is very relevant to whats happening in america today. Obiesety is a problem and it is getting to be a greater problem. are you going to go as far as finding out what the overwieght people think causes there obeisety? i think that would be interesting. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteThe talk in class jumpstarted your paper I would imagine heheh, Im sure you will be able to use the examples of families trying to sue fast food distributers because of them trying to blame it on their advertising and anything but their own choice to buy their food. a little controversial but It's a good subject though. Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteI think that this would be a good topic for your paper! The research part on this should be pretty simple because there already is a lot out there about this. This is a huge problem occurring in the US and i'm glad you're looking more into it! :))
