UNI 101: Observation Report

417 Words2 Pages

I had a great time during the health promotions lesson in UNI 101. While in the class, I was able to learn about fad diets, proper nutrition, and making healthy decisions. Through the health promotions class, I learned many things that I did not know before. The first topic we covered was dieting. There are many popular diets that are advertised on the TV, in magazines, and on line. Often the diets are not as advertised and can be harmful to a persons health. Fad diets are popular diets that tend to cycle in and out of popularity. Pop-culture often influences individuals to take unusual practices that can be unhealthy. One can see advertisements about eating super foods or taking a special pill to lose weight, but truthfully there is no grantee

    The Patriot Act and similar amendments passed in countries all over the world increased the demand for services, which redirect your traffic through a proxy server & encrypt it to prevent other internet users and even your ISP from spying on you. All for instance your ISP is able to see is that you established an encrypted connection to a server, nothing more. Using a proxy server is not completely secure, though. To communicate with your desired server providing the website you want to visit, the proxy has to decrypt your traffic and thus the internet provider of the proxy server is able to see the unencrypted data stream. This can be avoided by chaining proxies together or by simply using a service like Tor which redirects your traffic through 3 proxies, so called "nodes".

  • The Happiness Myth Summary

    752 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the Eating chapter of The Happiness Myth, Hecht goes into depth of some of these trends and how society affects the way we see our food. People often believe what they are taught and continue to practice them without questioning, and not knowing otherwise. Though, Hecht claims, “What is important to happiness here is both the liberation from the particular obsessions of the culture, and the realization that we like invoking obsessions, we have fun with them, and they make us feel better for a while, until they make us feel worse.” (Hecht 194). Thus, the reason these types fads still exist today is because people like to have things to fester over, and allow us to temporarily feel better about ourselves.

    I feel that in the classroom, Space 100 did not contribute to my MQT (Mission Qualification Training) preparation. Although, there were sections which covered the history of space flight, orbital mechanics, and a very brief description of the launch team positions, much of this information proved to be riddled with inaccuracies in punctuation, grammar, and facts. It became painfully evident that the course was rushed into production and instituted several months prematurely. The simulation lab was one of the best parts of Space 100 in terms of MQT preparation.

  • Henry Ornish Diets

    699 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Eating for Health, Not Weight” by Dean Ornish talks about understanding how diets work. Ornish, an American physician, has written many books and articles, such as this one, on how a healthier lifestyle can help “slow, stop, or reverse the progression of early stage prostate cancer, as well as reverse the progression of Type 2 diabetes.” Founding the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, he uses the example of how his thirty-five year-long research program proved that people who ate mainly plant-based meals and engaged in moderate exercise had improved their health. His argument follows mainly on how some diets focus on weight loss instead of long-term condition. However, Ornish fails to realize that many of his strategies, although they may help prevent heart disease, causes other illnesses such as eating disorders.

This was the time when the when the people’s ideology was “the bigger the better” which resulted in 22 % of the population to be “obese.” However, by the mid 1980’s this ideology changed due to propagandas and influential articles, which emphasized on the portrayal of attractive women and the importance to look good. Taking advantage of this situation a company called “Shape” cunningly made people to feel extremely insecure about their weight in order to secure their business objective of “profit” by producing a persuasive advertisement based on frivolous assumptions titled

    Isn’t it great when you think you’re finally out of high school, but the week before you start classes at Texas State University you’re required to sit in cold classrooms and participate in icebreakers with other students you’ve never met before? I didn’t think so. During the summer I was excited to start college and have almost complete freedom to do what I wanted, but during that week at Texas State University I felt as if I was a freshman in high school again. One specific change that needs to be made to a Texas State University program is the removal of Bobcat Preview because it wastes the staff and students time and it wastes university money. Many people, including the Texas State staff and parents, believe that Bobcat Preview is a great time for students to view the campus and meet new people, but it is actually unnecessary.

    Making kids eat healthy food today is a really hard task, but if schools can start serving healthier foods, then kids will actually eat healthy. In today’s schools, most of the foods served contain unhealthy fats and sugars just to fit the student 's preferences. Due to the lack of healthy foods consumed by children, child obesity is the number one growing problem among youth. With the new unhealthy snacks today, it is becoming harder for parents to make their kids eat healthy foods. Schools should promote healthy food choices because childhood obesity is a growing problem, school lunches are lacking proper nutrients, and schools have the responsibility to educate students about healthy eating.

  • The Negative Effects Of Dieting

    2068 Words  | 9 Pages

    Our society has helped create a definition of dieting that is not only harmful to the body but also does not work. The proper definition of a diet would be the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. The public’s definition of a diet is to restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight. Those who engage in this sort of dieting begin with the wrong mentality. They believe by undertaking a diet they will lose weight and keep it off, when in reality most people fail with diets.
