IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN BAD HEALTH AND POVERTY? 1

Is there a connection between bad health and poverty?

We as human are trained to be more self-conscious of what we are wearing than focusing in what we are ingesting. We are manipulated to look outside, and if it looks good it must be good. To paint you a visual in which is common daily is watching a commercial and seeing French fries and burger we are prone to have a salivating sensation towards it. In rare cases are we exposed to a healthy type of food commercial but more we likely are going to flip the channel. Why is it that there’s more liquor store and fast food chains in lower income areas rather than high end areas? Coincidence? I think not but in due time I will dig deeper into this. What interest me the most about this subject is I want to find the correlation between how the media and government institution who promote healthy living, yet we have a nation that suffer a high rate of obesity and health issues. It is important to me to make a connection between bad health and poverty and its important to me to attract an open mass of people regarding this subject. The audience can be from politician to everyday citizens. My dire purpose is to educate them and use my words to educate them. My argumentized essay we help them move into action and break the chain between bad health and poverty. I want to unshackle those in poverty and bad health and lead them to the hospital of good. The uniqueness of my subject is it’ll cover a large area, but it’ll help me narrow it down to the main question or maybe exploit that the system in place is tailored to keep the poverty and bad health together.

“Jordan is better; No Lebron is better my guy.” They both argued till their face was blue, so much they were beating a dead horse. “Jordan played with the flu,” he ricocheted off his friend who had said “Lebron plays through cramps.” Pffft, replied Michael. “Bro, Jordan always got buckets and ‘ships,” as James laughed it off “Well Lebron makes more dough.” To me this a sign of an informal argument, using a more relaxed and natural language. A formal argument opponent recognizes in and respect each other’s position, rather than attack or criticize the other. In a formal argument you must have logical steps that assert, support and defend claims. In order to persuade a new position or a different perception. The challenges I may face while writing my paper, can be over information, lack of truth from the information I receive. I think it’s important for me to stay on track and not derail since the subject I’ve chosen can take me many places. My is plan is to get has much information possible an forming a link to bring everything together. Why does a poor person have to have a link to bad health? Is it their culture, the environment they are raised in or is it an ethnicity thing?
