Part A:
When we hear the term “Sick” or “Illness”, we often think of the negative or harsh aspects of one who defines this. This can also be viewed as a formation of deviant behavior because one who is sick cannot not help his or her condition. In 1951, Talcott Parsons introduced his own concepts of “The Sick Role” in his book The Social System. He viewed the state a sickness as a disturbance in the normal, both biologically and sociologically in the condition of human being. Furthermore, Parsons believed that the cause illnesses is due to the exposure of infection or injury. A person is defined as ill, his or her complaints, symptoms, or results of any physical examination or test indicate abnormality (Cockerham, 2016). Though this approach …show more content…
Rather doing what it right, individuals have fell into the dark hole of doing what is comfortable. Research states that if you so with the flow as many Americans do, you will end up obese (Sobal, Bisogni & Jastran, 2014). Main factors that lead to obesity are: sleep apnea, high blood pressure, frequent dizziness, and diabetes (Sobal, Bisogni & Jastran, 2014). This generation is full of temptation and temporary desires when it comes to food. Instead of craving a cucumber with light Italian dressing, one may want a double fudge chocolate brownie instead because of its appearance. Television broadcasts play a big factor when it comes to obesity. Advertisements show sugary cereals, sodas that are high in calories, and meals that are loaded with lipids instead of more protein. Although they aren’t as healthy, local and region foods taste better (Sobal, Bisogni & Jastran, 2014).

College and Family Sequencing Affect Obesity,” I became aware that college students are less likely to become obese as college seems to promote healthy behaviors (Billups, 2015). Consequently, instead of gaining fifteen pounds while enrolled in college, I lost those fifteen pounds within the first year. Although I didn’t have the healthiest diet, I kept myself active and busy every day. I also discovered that overeating can be a leading cause with dangerous effects. I would often by that person to eat when I’m not even hungry, or perhaps eating when I’m already full. I suggest that others that had similar issues to do what I did to hold a better balance: discipline. There needs to be discipline among ourselves. We must train ourselves to maintain a proper meal plan that not only monitors what we eat, but how much protein we consume every day. Meal prepping is a great way to stay on top of your eating habits. After training your body, meals that are simple yet delicious such as salmon, asparagus, and a baked potato became extremely
