ETHICAL ISSUE FOR UNIT III


With the cultural trend that we have in present day America the health of the people has been fall drastically. The lazy and easiest ways to get something done is what the people like and it is starting to show in their appearance. The only healthy people are the one that either care about their health or about their appearance. The poor health in our schools and career working class is horrible compare to other parts of the world. Why it is the land of opportunity has no desire to stay in shape. I feel that there are many reasons but the two that stick out to me are simple. The is not enough time to take care of your health when your chasing after the almighty dollar. People just have not come to like the feel of a good burn in their muscles and with out seeing results they give up.
The burden of making a living in today’s economy has got people working to the bone, they long work days behind a desk can wear on the body, but no one is fixing it. People like the easy way to go about things and getting some good exercise in just doesn’t fit into their schedule. The diet part of the picture is the same way. It is a lot easier to grab a quick bite to eat at the fast food joint then to plan a couple of meals for the day. It takes some time to go to the store and shop for food, and it is less of hassles to have someone else prepare it for you to. The chances of getting to the gym or going for a work after a long day in the office are slim to none. Most people are just too tired or unmotivated to go get some exercise. Not only that but there are other interest that people have that pay more to their happiness then pumping iron or running. Gee x box or a two mile walk. Let go with the fantasy world were I can be a hero and hard body.
The second fact is when people do go out and get some exercise; it just doesn’t happen over night. It takes time and effort to drop those pounds and when you’re not seeing results that you like you get discouraged. The fact that to build muscle you have to break it down, which is painful and uncomfortable is a big deterrent. I only know a few that get a kick out of the constant pain of building up sore muscles. There are a lot of people that try to walk or go to the gym but it always seems to turn into a social experience. It is more fun to talk to someone about how you’re getting in shape than to actually do it. All in all the mind set is not to work for something like good health but to hope it gets handed to you.
The health of the country is down and the easy life style is up. People like to have the lazy way of doing thing at their finger tips. If you can go out and make money then you focus on that instead of your health. I feel that there is going to be a change in the future of health, but it will take work and that might not be something people want to put the effort into. It is a shame that more people don’t get exercise but then again when it comes down to the survival of the fittest they won’t make it. It’s probably better that way.
