My Project
155 words by the Politician
Being that my career choice is to be a pharmacist; my project will be about how to have a healthy lifestyle. Not only would I like to address the physical aspects of a person’s lifestyle, but I would also like to put an importance on the mental aspects of a healthy lifestyle. In addition, one of the biggest problems that our society has is that many of us do not treat their bodies as if it were our own. Many people have the notion that they must live for or try to live through another person. Whether it be, trying to be a certain size so that you may belong to a certain group, or doing certain things that may be harmful to your body and mind, that you may still do, just so you will be included into today’s society. I wonder, when will we start to live for ourselves?

Try to be more clear about what you will be doing. You say you will address these issues, but tell me how. Give me concrete examples of things you will do this semester that will address the problem of unhealthy lifestyles.

I think living a healthy livfestyle is very important. But, I do not necessarily understand how you will measure the progress. If you come up with a way of measuring this, try to use males and females and distinguish of the two which one lived a healthier lifestyle. Good luck.

I do agree that we have a very unhealthy lifestyle. I think one of the problems is fast food restaurants. You could get facts on the food that is served at fast food places and show people how bad it is for us. The reason we eat so poorly is that we just do not have time to cook so we resort to fast food.

I agree that proper exercise and nutrition are very critical to maintaing a healthy lifestyle. One way I think you can improve your project is to create a pamphlet that show poor food choices from like McDonalds or something and healthy alternatives. This would provide a quick reference to people on healthy choices while on the go.

I like the idea, but there are some problems with it. For one you don’t say how you plan on doing this. All you say is that you are going to do it. If you state that then I would be able to get a total idea about what is gong to happen with it. That is a good idea, because many people think that living healthy is just doing it physically. That is a good aspect of you project. Overall I like the idea but it just need to have some more details on how.

Nice, nice nice. I see what your aim is, but I am not sure about how you plan to accomplish this. Will you volunteer somewhere, make pamphlets, start a “Take Control” group or what?

That’s definitely true about our unhealthy lifestyles. In order to get this project down you will have to be more specific. For example, what group of people are you going to focus on? Because if looking at the type of food intake, that differs from regions in the US and what types of food people eat according to their lifestyle. This could be because of ethnic reasons, social reasons, religious reasons or financial reasons. Another example maybe for college students or people on the go, they may not have time to prepare a meal, so that directly influences what they chose to eat.

So you want to address the healthy lifestyle as well as the psychological positions people are in hat cause them to have such unhealthy lifestyles. I agree with that this is a big problem in America. I like you approach and have an idea for you. The counseling center is doing this whole health campus thing so if you hook up with them I think your project will be more affective. Good luck.

Good point!!! How about you target younger children and make them more confident so that when the become the age of adults and older they will not live their lives as their friends. Basically I think that you should inform people on the mental problems of people today especially in young children. You should get statistics on how many celebrities have had plastic surgery and explain it is important to do you and keep healthy. That everyone was meant to be healthy not skinny.

Healthy lifestyles are important. You could get a group together that exercises and talks to people about how to lead a healthy life. Flyers and posters are a good way to spread the word, but you could talk to groups on campus about passing out flyers and going to schools and talking to young students about a healthy lifestyle.

I think your prohect is a great idea which has been implemented for years, but not necessarily followed. You should get community and organiztional involvement which help make drastic changes.

I’m not sure if I completly understand what you want to do. You have a good topic but there is no conclusion. What will you do to show that you have been working on a project. Will you put togehter and article called “Healthy Living” and find a way to get it printed up and put in the dorm rooms so people can become educated? Will you put together a program on campus to raise awareness about different lifestyles and living for students? Or do you plan to take your project off campus and do a documentary of how people eat, live, exercise, abuse ect. certain things? I think you have all the right ideas of how people make bad decisions concerning their bodies, but just pick a way to present you evidence.

Sory this is so late! Instead of spreading the word, you should host seminars on healthy life choices, or offer to teach a class to high school students, or you can even decorate a bulletin board around school suggesting ways to live a healthy lifestyle. GoOd LuCk!

Try to get caught up. We’re on week eight now. For your midterm grade I was torn between two grades, and went with the higher of the two for now.

Keenon I here to remind you that I need an update on your project!!! Please get on it!!! THANKS!!!

I think your project could do alot of good espcially on a college campus where people seem to over indulge in food and do not get regular exercise. If you raise awarness of a healthy lifestyle and put some programs into action on campus that could really affect aolt of people.
