3. Pro and contra arguments

-

Write two paragraphs that present pro and contra arguments in response to this question:
There is a growing trend to see obesity as a public health problem that requires state intervention while some people feel that this is a personal issue that should be resolved accordingly. How do you see this?


Obesity can affect people around the predisposition to other diseases such as diabetes or heart problems. There is a trend that believes that the State should take care of this health problem as it precedes other problems that are of importance for the health of people. In this sense, the state should encourage good self-care practices in both food and exercise, but because of the free market system, companies can sell anything at the cost of making money, such as fast food chains, which do not measure the negative effects that the sale of their products may have.

On the other hand, obesity can also be seen as personal or private as this condition can be associated with psychological elements such as anxiety or depression. In this way, it would take more individual ways to solve the problem, for example, go to the psychologist and not a state intervention since obesity would be more related to individual experiences, before this, no matter how much the state drives measures, these will not work if personal issues are not improved.

4. Concluding paragraph

Question: It has been said by various social commentators over the ages, among them Dostoyevsky, that how civilized a country is can be measured by how it treats its inmates or those in prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this idea? Torture, mistreatment, abuse, and squalid and dangerous conditions are considered to be signs of barbarity by many people. I am one of these people. I believe that when these negative social conditions and actions are manifested in a society, they signal that something is amiss with that society. I will explain my reasons for this. Those who are most prone to be mistreated, tortured, or held in terrible conditions are prisoners. I am not arguing for some kind of limitless leniency. I am not saying that criminals aren’t problematic and that they don’t deserve punishment. Crime and insecurity are social ills; it is a terrible experience to be the victim of a crime—especially a violent one. Nevertheless, I am arguing for a rational and firm wa...

Introduction The goal of this report is to inform the experience working at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, to help with recommendations to others who need it. My work experience During my six weeks  working at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York I was assigned to work on the improvement of the institute in the position of cultural advisor. a)      Location The cultural institute is located in Brooklyn, very close to the river. The establishment is very nice and has good access to get there by car, but public transport is also a good option as there is a stop right outside the cultural institute. b)       Working hours During my stay, I had a schedule from Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, it was very nice to work on those schedules as I had plenty of time to go out with friends or get to know the city.

Legalize drugs or not?  Drug use has always been an important issue in our society. Since childhood we are educated telling us how bad drugs are and how terrible it is to know someone drug addict. However, it is very difficult to take a position on whether or not drug use should be criminalized since, on the one hand, drug use has many counter-productive effects on people’s health and lives, but, on the other hand, people will use drugs that are illegal or illegal, so wouldn’t it be more logical to legalize them, ensuring that people consume certified drugs, accompanied by guidance on their use? It is true and undeniable how terrible drugs can be in people’s lives. Its negative effects can have very terrible consequences such as the overdose that can lead to death. In addition, socially, they have very negative effects as they can destroy people’s lives, ending social relationships and impairing the ability of individuals to interact with others in real life. However, people use dr...
