Obesity and Eating disorders (This is about final exam)

You see their photos everywhere: skinny models showing off the latest fashion, thin celebrities dinning in expensive restaurants and unhealthy looking young stars having their pictures published in magazines. It is not surprising that American women seem to be obsessed with their weight. Over the past few years, the media have been filled with the tragic stories of famous women whose abnormal eating behavior led to serious health problems and even death. At the opposite extreme, excessive overweight or obesity, while rarely deadly in itself, increases the risks of life-threatening medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.



Both this problems represent normal dieting gone wrong. Women suffering from eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia starve themselves to get thin or induce vomiting after they eat a lot. On the other hand overweight women-defined medically as those who are more than 20% over their ideal weight- are often obsessed with eating large amounts of food.



While eating disorders may begin with obsession with food and weight, they are most often about much more than food. People with eating disorders often use food and the control of food in an attempt to deal with emotions that may seem over-whelming. For some, dieting may begin as a way to cope with painful emotions but ultimately, these behaviors will damage a person’s physical and emotional health.

Obesity occurs over time when you eat more calories than you use. Factors that affect obesity might include your genetic makeup, overeating, eating high-fat foods and not being physically active. Obesity is a complex issue in which a person’s weight gain seriously endangers their health. Obesity and weight related issues are a global problem that is becoming the number one reason why people seek help.

The media, family, and friends may be sending women mixed messages about food and weight that encourage disordered eating. Today's society promotes thinness and does not promote fatness, but high-calorie foods are widely available. At the same time, levels of physical activity are low as television and computers have become popular, travel by car has replaced walking, and many communities do not have space for walking.

Compare and Contrast Essay Ms.Kristi
The Senate and the House of Representatives
The government of the United States is made up of three branches:
the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial
branch. The legislative branch, called Congress, is responsible for
making laws. Congress is made up of two houses: the Senate and
the House of Representatives. In this essay, I will describe the
differences and similarities between these two houses of Congress.

There are many differences between the Senate and the House of
Representatives. The Vice President of the United States is the
head of the Senate. He must vote in the Senate if there is a tie.
On the other hand, the House of Representatives’ leader is called
the Speaker of the House. The representatives elect him or her.

Another difference is that the Senate is made up of 100 senators,
two from each state. The House of Representatives, however, is
made up of 435 representatives. The number of representatives
from each state is determined by that state’s population. The
greater the population in a state, the more representatives that
state will have in the House. A third difference is that senators are
elected to six-year terms, while representatives are elected to
serve two-year terms. Every two years, the nation holds an election
for members of Congress. At that time, all members of the House of
Representatives and one-third of the Senate are up for re-election.

There are also similarities between the Senate and the House of
Representatives. For example, both houses of Congress are made
up of men and women. Both senators and representatives are
members of Congress who must work together toward the same
goal: to create, discuss, debate and vote on bills, some of which
eventually become laws. In the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington
D.C., senators and representatives often meet with each other
and in smaller groups to discuss laws. Before the President can
sign a bill into law, it must first be approved by a majority of
members in both the House and Senate.

Although Congress is made up of two types of lawmakers,
they must work together for the benefit of all Americans.

Point and Support make up the Basics of Argument. A good argument is a part of the disscusion in which each of us supports his point of view about a subject. Also it is a part of our every day dealings with other people, trying to convince the audience with our oppinions and interpretations, giving logical evidence which provide solid support. After this, we clearly understand and agree with the point.

Definition Paragraph "Self-esteem" page119 Ms. Kristi

Self-Esteem is a term which is treated especialy in psychology to acquaint a person’s universal quality like personification of ourselves. The respect for ourselves is very important. Having self-respect,everyone is able to confront the challenges of entire lifetime. Self-esteem is built up when we have confidence and satisfaction in ourselves. This means a good self-esteem indicate a good feeling about ourselves, if we do not feel good about ourselves, then this means we possess a low self-esteem. So that, having a low self-esteem we feel badly about ourselves. Obviously, we have no self-respect, and think things like we look horrible, and no one likes us. We always want to have a good self-esteem; a good self-esteem will help us getting further in entire our life. But,there is a fact when we possess a self-esteem that is too high it also affects very badly to us because, we look at ourselves more values than others have. So in this case we've overvalued ourselves against the others.
As conclusion,the term "Self-esteem" must build up conform to the cultivation of the person's universal quality.
