Description

This will be a partial draft, and should be 1500 words, or about 4 pages (double spaced). You should have a full introduction and a few body paragraphs. You do not need to have a conclusion at this point, although you are welcome to include bullet points or notes if you think they will be helpful for your peer reviewers or for me when we give you feedback.

My topic is Nutrition and Physical Activity in Relation to Obesity Prevention, and the prompt is uploaded. And also please use the annotated bibliography that I uploaded in the bottom.

Here's a reflection that you could use which is wrote by reading a part of the book. Doctor of the death chamber is an educative and informative chapter as it highlights the core duties of the various cadres of health practitioners. At a time when patients are more aware of their rights and lawyers finding a niche in medical malpractices suits, this reading is laudable. I do not share the view that medicine should be used in facilitating execution by lethal injection, regardless of the cadre-nurse, doctors, and anesthesiologist. The general purpose of health practitioners is to preserve life as such theirs has to do with prolonging the life of the prisoners and any other person that might need medical services. This chapter has enlightened me on how important every life is including that of those who have been condemned even by the law to death. It has changed my view on the role of doctors in facilitating execution, including monitoring the vitals of the prisoner, confirming the death of the prisoner and even issuing technical advice regarding the same. Previously I did not appreciate that confirming the death of the prisoner was a major part of the execution process but following this reading, I now know better.

The last quote from Dr. B in which he says the depressing thing is that when the prisoners are not gotten to when they are young before they join the life of crime, he tends to say that in order to bypass execution as a form of delivering justice in the current legal system, he prefers that children be taught to be law-abiding beginning from their home settings. That way they will grow up able to differentiate the good from bad and in turn reduce the incidences of crime that lead to capital punishment and totally eliminating the debate on execution by lethal injection and the role of medical practitioners on facilitating the same.

Research Project Part One: Contexts Two major assignments comprise the research project: Part One: Contexts (CP) and Part Two: Advocacy (AP). This first assignment, the CP, asks you to ​(1) research and deploy various types of sources to describe, contextualize, and analyze a significant contemporary political/social/cultural problem; (2)​ ​summarize and evaluate conversations and debates happening between credible scholars, thinkers, and organizations about your topic. Together, the actions above comprise expository writing—the guiding method of this project—which means simply that with this first composition you are attempting to describe your project's central problem and explain its relevance by contextualizing it. Why “contexts”? An informed, authoritative writer understands their topic in context. ​Context can be historical.​ Analyzing the past means grappling not simply with events, but with the issues and concerns of the time. It’s not enough to read a contemporary account of the past; we must also look at the work produced in the past—its political speeches, court decisions, and media. Therefore, one goal of this assignment is to learn about the historical contexts of your problem: the laws, legal precedents, and institutional practices that underlie its current form, and economic, social, political, and/or environmental trends that have shaped its development. Context can also be rhetorical.​ We want to present the stakes that a given community has in the topic of our research, but we also want to interrogate the way those stakes get articulated by journalists, researchers, and politicians. Even within “scholarly writing,” you should become aware of how various communities (called disciplines) frame the same topic quite differently from one another. Identifying these relevant communities of thinkers and writers, analyzing their perspectives, and bringing their views together will help you gain a comprehensive understanding of your problem, and the authority that understanding entails. As you research for your CP, you will concurrently develop a Working​ ​Annotated Bibliography​ for your entire project that involves summarizing and analyzing individual sources (your instructor will provide you with separate instructions for this portion of the assignment). By the time you complete the CP, you should be able to: ● Develop effective research note-taking habits through source annotations. ● Practice information literacy in the research process by locating and critically evaluating relevant and credible evidence from a variety of sources and genres. ● Understand research as a part of the larger composition process of prewriting, drafting, and revision. ● Collaborate with fellow researchers to give and receive constructive feedback on the work in progress. ● Plan, draft and revise an essay with organization and style appropriate for addressing a general academic audience. ● Arrange and integrate evidence—primary-source, secondary-source, and multimodal—intentionally, with particular attention to its argumentative purpose and rhetorical effect. ● Integrate and cite evidence in a transparent and ethical manner, using a standard citation system. Learn how and why to avoid plagiarism and patch-writing. Assignment Requirements Process work​ is required to be eligible to submit a final draft for a grade. This may include but is not limited to topic development exercises, a proposal or prospectus, and multiple essay drafts. Late or incomplete process work may result in a grade penalty on the final draft. The contextualizing in the CP must be supported by a broad and varied selection of ​research​, including primary and secondary sources, scholarship, journalism, policy papers, reports, case law, and other sources as appropriate for your topic. While both you and your instructor will work to determine an appropriate scope and variety of research for your essay, at a minimum it should draw evidence from ​6-8 sources, including TWO scholars in conversation. ​Keep in mind that the total number of sources for the entire project’s bibliography is 15-20 sources. Your final submission for Part One should be a ​1500-2000 word​ ​multimodal​ composition​. It should be formatted in ​MLA style​, with parenthetical citations, a Works Cited page, and a descriptive academic title.

Han 2 This source discusses the prevalence of obesity in children throughout the United States. The author provides details of the short term and long-term risks of obesity to physical health. The most relevant information is the development of an action plan that helps in the prevention of obesity. The relevance of this research is based on its association with the Institute of Medicine Committee and Prevention of Obesity in Children and Youth. This source is unique in the sense that it provides a solution to the problem of childhood obesity most of the measures provided are a preventive measure and they also provide health balance. The author focuses on physical activities, diets and other habits that could result in obesity. Preventive measure and recommendations are then clearly outlined. Mela, David J. Food, Eating, and Obesity. London: CRC Press, 2005. Print. This book by Mela David provides a description of the global trends in obesity. The author also covers the factors that contribute to obesity, the macronutrients that influence the loss of weight, and the functional targets of weight control. All these subjects explain the interrelation between nutrition, physical activity, and obesity. The accuracy of this source is pegged on the research deduced from various credible institutions. This source is different because it covers the element of physical activity in detail. Physical activity can be used as a way of managing obesity. The author provides details of the implications and the recommendations after implementing changes in leisure, work, travel, and home physical activities. Physical activity, weight maintenance, and physical fitness are all described in relation to obesity and the implication. Nutrition and metabolic health are also covered in this source. The health risk of increased body fat in children as well as the prevention and treatment of obesity. Han 3 Jana P. Physical Activity, Fitness, Nutrition and Obesity During Growth. Bentham Science Publisher, 2015. Internet resource. This source describes the connection between obesity, fitness, physical activity, and nutrition during childhood. The childhood period allows the researchers to understand the changes in growth, the functional capacity of children, the body composition and the different environments in which adolescents grow up. The aim of the author is to provide research findings and recommendations on how to approach and regulate the risks of obesity during the early years of a child’s growth stages. The relevance of this source lies in the details on the adequate physical fitness in an effort to reduce the BMI among children. The author details the positive impacts of physical fitness on the health of a child. Other parameters that are to be considered in such context is the frequency, duration, and intensity of the physical exercises. This source is unique in the sense that the review discusses the solution to obesity based on physical exercise. Through physical activities, children are able to avoid unpleasant strategies like a strict diet. Crespo CJ, Smit E, Troiano RP, Bartlett SJ, Macera CA, Andersen RE.

This article discusses obesity as an epidemic that not only affects children but also adults. The author examines the prevalence and impact of obesity in the last ten years. The relevance of the article lies in the part where the author relates obesity to physical participation. Poor physical participation is seen to account for the many cases of obesity. Obesity also causes other disorders in the system such as high cholesterol, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The accuracy and authority of this research are based on previous studies by other scholars providing information on the obesity epidemic. The contribution of this source is different in the view that it provides summarized information on the relationship between obesity and poor physical exercise. This article also accounts for the statistical representation of the effects of obesity and the economic burden as a result of obesity. The article also leaves room for future obesity outlook and the possibility of future studies.

Nutrition and Physical Activity in Relation to Obesity Prevention
Obesity is generally a condition in which an individual has accumulated an abnormal
amount of fat, leading to excess weight. According to a recent analysis, statistics indicate that
obesity is one of the serious health issues affecting contemporary society. For instance, current
studies point to the fact that the population of people who are obese is higher compared to those
who are underweight globally. Almost13 percent of the total adult population in the world are
affected by this problem. This percentage translates to almost two billion individuals aged above
eighteen years. Over the recent past, obesity was commonly known to affect the adult
population. However, the current trend is significantly changing, and the younger generation is
increasingly getting affected. For example, almost forty million children below five years of age
were suffering from obesity in 2016. Nearly three hundred millions of children and adolescents
between five and 19 years also suffered from the condition at the time. These statistics reveal
that in the recent past, the prevalence of the disease among the younger population has
significantly increased.
With the condition seemingly affecting both children and adults, health studies reveal that
obesity has significant adverse impacts both to the individuals, their families, and the community
at large either directly or indirectly. Obesity has serious negative effects on the health of an
individual. Individuals suffering from obesity are likely to develop other health conditions such
as high blood pressure diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. When these conditions are combined

with their current obese state is expected to lower the quality of their health. If not properly
managed, these conditions may worsen and lead to death. Current statistics reveal that at least
two million people lose their live year globally due to obesity and related disease. Other than
physical health problems, several studies also point out the fact that obesity can lead to severe
mental conditions. For example, obesity is likely to lead to the stigma, which in turn can trigger
increased depression, anxiety, and also lower self-esteem. Obesity-related stigma is more severe
in children compared to Adults. Studies indicate that obsess children are more likely to get
bullied. When these young people a get abused by their peers due to their weight, it triggers the
feeling of shame that quickly lead to depression, low self-esteem, a...
