A. are you looking for explanations that might come from structural functionalists? If you are, i like to think of it as a bit of a guessing game, as you can sort of spin a lot of the potential explanations assuming you dont have to do any large scale research to back it up. If i was to hazard an explanation from that perspective i would say increases in the definition and application of medical labels such as childhood obesity help to supplement and augment a growing biomedical field which will be one of the essential sectors of the economy going forward.

A. Weight gain or loss is the balance between food energy input and exercise energy output. The government health department offers this insight - "Time trends show a decline in physical activity, but no significant increase in the number of calories consumed." So maybe eating too much is not the main cause, and a lack of physical output is. TV and video games have been blamed, but the studies have looked into this and TV is not to blame. "video game play, but not television use, is indeed displacing the time children spend in more physically demanding pursuits." (see source) Video games then?

How serious of a problem is childhood obesity?
Q. I'm writing a paper for my research writing class and I wondering what you all think. I've been researching this paper for a while and I thought it would be nice to have some outside opinions. So do you think childhood obesity is a serious problem in America today? Moreover, do you know the serious consequences of being obese and if not do you think the media is not being honest enough? Thanks for your opinions.
Asked by Lisa - Sun Nov 9 12:39:42 2008 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Let me put it this way. An obese child is more likely to be an obese adult, than a normal one, and an obese adult is more likely to 1|) die prematurely 2) be in poor health for some time prior to death. This makes childhood obesity a serious challenge for society and for the health care system. America is facing a time bomb that dwarfs terrorism, murder and the war in Iraq/Afghanistan. Things are so serious that for the first time in decades the current generation of children actually have a lower life expectancy than their parents. Last time that this happened was WWII.

A. There are lots of good ideas out there. Plenty of people chime in on the issue with regularity. One thing I've noticed during my lifetime, and I'm 45, is that when I was a kid, most mothers didn't work. Therefore, at the end of the day, they were thinking about, and preparing, a real dinner. Now, it seems, no family can do without two paychecks, it's still mom's "job" to figure out dinner no matter how exhausted she may be, and there's a fast food joint on almost every corner. I'm not placing blame for the obesity on mothers going to work...far from it. I'm thinking, though, that if there were healthier solutions for overworked parents, they would choose them. Brilliant idea! Someone needs to start a fast-food joint that tastes… [cont.]

How misleading is it to say that something is 1/3 less fat or fat free! but contains a huge amount of sugar and or high fructose corn syrup. *hint* Sugar not instantly utilized, gets stored for later use as, you guessed it, fat. Here's the one that REALLY burns my cookies... My daughter had a "scheduling conflict" in high school this year. She has to take P.E. -- online!

Q. I'm just curious what you think on this question. In my personal opinion, yes, I believe that video/computer games play a very important role in childhood obesity.

A. Society often drives Obese children into a state of depression with teasing, bullying, and social outcasting. Which often is the resulting factor of child obesity. Isolation, lack of exercises, and living in poor and dangerous neighborhoods that forces a child to spend little time outside of their house hold, and lack of attention at home are just some of the problems parents encounter with children that is a cause for obesity. Overeating is an issue, but not as common as most people probably assume.

What role does ethical relativism play in childhood obesity?
Q. I have to write an essay on ethical relativism. This idea is new to me and I am not sure how to apply it, can someone explain this to me in terms that I can understand?
Asked by brainhurtz - Thu Feb 25 19:29:45 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Ethical relativism is the philosophical theory that states that morality depends on the norms of a specific culture, and that there is not a universal moral code. For instance, in some cultures, marrying several wives (polygamy) is considered unethical and wrong, while it is completely acceptable and even considered proper in other cultures. In terms of childhood obesity, there are cultures that allow childhood obesity and other cultures that do not. Both cultures think they are right, and ethical relativism would suggest that they are both right, since there is no universal moral code to decide who is right and who is wrong.
