Politically, people would gather to discuss profound truths and the universe while drinking wine in a symposium in Greece and Rome. Scholars and upper class citizens in Greece came together to share and discuss ideas that shaped the political thought of their civilization. According to Tom Standage, “wine became a symbol of social differentiation, a mark of the wealth and status of the drinker” (75). In Rome, it became a tradition to serve fine wines to guests as a way of showing their high status and sophistication. Socially, having wine meant you had power and were very important.
I believe this resource of information is reliable because the information presented was published by WebMD. Kovacs is writer and researcher for WebMD, Glamour and many more. She has her own blog in which she shares her own story and talks about health, psychology, and nutrition. In her article she quotes Ruth Kava, PhD, RD. Dr. Kava in a Director of nutrition and senior fellow in nutrition at the American Council on Science and Health in New York City.
The author first introduces wine through a discussion of both early Greek and Roman society. Wine was associated with the social classes as exotic and scarce, which made it expensive. Most people drank beer, while wine conveyed power and royalty, which meant only the upper class, could afford it. Wine later embodied Greek culture and became more available. As wine grew more popular so did the different number of uses.
Standage describes wine as having a direct correlation with human advancement by quoting a greek scholar; “In the words of Thucydides… ‘the peoples of the Mediterranean began to emerge from barbarism when they learnt to cultivate the olive and vine.’” (Standage 53). Advancements in greek society such as democracy and new sciences were directly impacted by wine and its’ effects on the human mind. In small quantities, wine can allow one to relax making thought easy but, with too much it can cause drunkenness and ill-minded thought. Coffee came into direct play after its’ development as a great soberer against alcoholic drinks.
Furthermore, drinking a lot of alcohol guide to alcohol poisoning which lead to
This could potentially be a cure for heart disease, but many people do not see it that way. Many individuals believe that by
Obamacare is really called The Affordable Care Act and it was created to increase health insurance quality and to make sure that anyone including some poor people can afford it. Also, Obamacare requires them to cover for pre-existing conditions. In other people’s opinions they think that some poor people don’t have enough money to pay for health care because they’re not spending it wisely. Some politicians are trying to replace Obamacare with a new medical plan. I think they still should have Obamacare because poor and sick people can afford it and if we get rid of it then those poor people can’t have health care.
Society has left an invisible impact on how we perceive the college lifestyle as a whole. This ranges from the belief that all students are sleep deprived from staying up too late to finish their homework. Also the sociological acceptance that college is the place to party and drink every single weekend. Theirs a sociological point of view and how society has played a key part in underage drinking being accepted in college towns. Not just limited to the effects of alcohol on a student’s wellbeing; also, the short term and long term conditions that can arise from binge drinking.
(Binge drinking can be harmful to U.S. college students in many ways. For instance, it can be harmful physically, by causing health problems.) The Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention states that some of the short-term health risks caused by binge drinking are injuries, alcohol poisoning, car accidents, and many more. According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism “599,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 receive unintentional injuries while under the influence of alcohol.”
As a result, this can help prevent heart disease and other
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed thirty-one years ago in July of 1984. Since then, it has been contested by many that the minimum age should be lowered to eighteen. Arguments ranging from being able to join the military, or courts trying you as an adult at the age of 18 have long been heard. Others will say the United States is too strict with the minimum age with only six percent of countries having a minimum age of twenty-one. This could mean one of two things: either we are too strict, or we are responsible with the laws created to protect young adults from the effects of alcohol.
In the Dr. Oz video, Dr. Oz is promoting red palm fruit oil. Through demonstrations, Dr. Oz claimed two effects of consuming red palm fruit oil: to clean artery plaque and help burn belly fat. According to Dr. Oz, red palm fruit oil is essential to keep blood vessel in the heart open.
