Relationships What does your dog and boyfriend have in common? Both pets and romance contribute a lot to the happiness of 40% of respondents. Interestingly, in the ‘somewhat contribute’ responses, romance ranked higher than pets, 44% and 33% respectively. So while dogs may be man’s best friend, our furry friends have less of an impact on the level of our happiness.

In the United States, 66% of people have been on a diet and only 20% of them are successful. We are constantly consumed by the ideal image and body type that our society enforces upon us. This “ideal image” is shown to us through TV, magazines, and advertisements that cause men and women to diet in order to attain it. This is not practical because the bodies of the people we look up to in these images are their entire work, and it is unrealistic for the average person to assume that they too can…

In June 2013, the American Medical Association organization voted for the first time to designate obesity as a disease. How should the people of America respond? When meeting obese people, should one cast them a glance of concern and ask how they are doing? Should flowers and “Get Well Soon” cards be sent to obese family members and friends who are diseased?

Over the years these “cultural norms” have changed drastically, almost completely switching opposite roles of one another.…

Every family shares some sort of similar characteristic, like athleticism, strength, beauty, singing talent, or business smarts, but my shared family trait is intelligence. The fictitious character Solomon Short states, “Half of being smart, is knowing what you are dumb about.” This quote sums up nearly everyone’s intelligence in a few simple words. Every person should be aware of what their strengths and weaknesses are. For example, you may know you are extraordinarily talented in another…
