This statement is evident especially when he created one of my favorite films, Crooklyn. This is a film that goes into the “ideal” life of African Americans in the seventies. The most important idea to notice in this film is feminism. Feminism is so broad and shown in narrower topics that relate to it in this dramatic work.…

    Dietary guidelines have been established by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) for children and adolescents. Based on these guidelines, it is suggested that children between the ages of 9 and 13 consume 3 cups of milk, 5 ounces (oz) of lean meat or beans, and 1.5 cups of fruit each day. Because of physiological differences between males and female adolescents, nutrient requirements are divided by gender after the age of 9 (Grodner, Escott-Stump, & Dorner, 2016, p. 212) (Grodner et al., 2016, pg. 212).
