The biggest loser is the show I have chosen to comment on. It is a competition whereby participants are rewards each week for losing the most weight. The ones whom loose the least are eliminated each week and the winner becomes the person who loses the most during the competition.

These shows in my opinion have nothing to do with a public health agenda. They are pure entertainment, but producers feel that they have a moral, obligation to the public to indulge in popular issue. Obesity is popular whether from a public health perspective or not. Beauty perception is

Apparently, high quality friendship between two or more people is on the whole characterized by intimacy, pro-social behaviour, and the corresponding low levels of negative features that include conflicts ad rivalry (Saracho and Bernard 269).

Deborah Brandt, in her essay ‘Sponsors of Literacy’, widens the terms literacy significantly. She elaborates on factors that control the possibilities of literacy. By literacy she means basic expertise that entails basic knowledge of some sort. She also means this as the primary building block that makes people capable of earning. Through her examples, Brandt makes the concept of literacy a dynamic idea – something that grows in a person and something that is utilizable. She also talks about literacy being controlled by economic factors. On the other hand she narrows down the concept of ‘sponsor’ for her use of

It is this curiosity and self-interest that often encourages one to plough on and develop oneself. True to these words, at the academy, he continues to learn at advanced levels on the construction implements of buildings and their reaction to fire. This approach mirrors my own approach. Like Mac, I personally often have an inquisitive approach to issues that leads

This is a straight critique of the ways suggested by Friedman for the people who wish to survive in this new flattened world. The suggestions by Friedman are biased to a section of the human population against others. For instance the intelligence equation CQ+PQ>IQ, is a biased strategy because it only serves to benefit the self-educators and motivators. The rest of the population is ignored. Those who cannot develop the four skills of learning will find no room in the new flat world. This brings out the issue of the great sorting out. This process as outlined

But still, some of them take drugs. This short essay
