Childhood obesity: a societal problem to solve - PubMed - 1 views

  •  
    A child's weight is their own weight meaning only they can be the ones to properly exercise to have the correct weight. The only way to prevent childhood obesity is based off of the responsibility of the child. The prevention is known to be a struggle especially because exposure to unhealthy foods are everywhere.
  •  
    The article indicates that the issue with our society and how it relates to childhood obesity is in how we treat the issue, as a separate entity from all other health issues wherein the child and family receive support and resources on how to help prevent and treat their ailment. In America a child faced with Obesity is treated with distain despite the fact that the food and lifestyle pushed at them in every facet of their life is unhealthy and ultimately results in obesity and the article clearly aims to show the reader that the way in which we shift blame should reflect back at societies stigmatization rather than blame the child. How did you conclude that the child is solely responsible for their own obesity from reading the article?

      There seem to be well meaning Drug Rehab facilities but it looks like the one advertised here is all the way in Florida. That is not very accessible to most people. This does suggest that there might be an economic barrier to Drug Rehab quality.
  •  
    The author of the article gives information about recent Drug abuse statistics and infographics on the trends in Arizona. The author also advertises the company Lakeview Health. While the article seems to be getting its statistics from credible sources like the CDC, its comments on how it can help people in Arizona with Drug abuse should be taken with a grain of salt because of its relation with a company bound to look for customers. (The Rehab Center is all the way in Florida).

The Traveling Wave Reactor: Design and Development - 1 views

  •  
    The author takes a third person perspective on the topic, and seems to provide many technical details about the idea of a TWR reactor. The Traveling Wave reactor seems to be an answer to finding clean power (does not release greenhouse gases) and it runs on depleted Uranium. It is a nuclear reactor being developed by TerraPower which is a startup energy company helped by the Bill and Melinda Foundation. While the author does seem to write from a unbiased perspective, they seem to support the development of this reactor.

Tesla Model 3 unplugged by "concerned resident" over fears of battery "blow up" - 1 views

  •  
    This article is written by an independent journalist who is clearly biased towards supporting the company Tesla. The author writes a scathing critique of someone who unplugged another person's Tesla out of fear of a battery fire or explosion. While the author does have data to back his claims and his critique seems to be well placed, readers should be wary of his flippant attitude concerning the overcharging of electric vehicles.
  •  
    I agree with your observation of the clear bias towards partisanship of Tesla's in the article, given that the website host name is "Teslarati". It seems as though this article is more than anything akin to a click-bait feed as its goal is to incite readers to feel frustration and outrage at whomever put the sign on the tesla pictured, although a few decent points are made throughout the article about the positive aspects of Tesla vehicles its difficult to take it seriously as a source of information with the tone of the article being slightly juvenile and the authors Biography being a testament to his endearment for Elon Musk.

Lifetime carbon emissions of electric vehicles vs gasoline cars - 2 views

  •  
    The author details the lifetime carbon footprint of common combustion vehicles and compares them to the carbon footprint of popular electric cars, Teslas. In the analysis, the author reveals how many miles one has to drive in an electric car in order for the electric car to have a smaller carbon footprint than the gas one. His work seems thorough, but he does not list the sources where he got his starting numbers, and he had to have used averages because its hard to quantify the carbon footprint of a single car when they are usually mass produced in groups.
  •  
    It seems like the source is more of a data list rather than a traditional article, most likely used for technicians in the industry and offers plain data to compare rather than an explanation of what the data would mean for a consumer. If comparing the carbon footprint of the two vehicles I found it interesting that the article left out the carbon emissions generated by lithium mining that the Tesla batteries are using. Did you feel as though the source was thorough with their sourcing and research or that it was lacking in providing evidence for the data presented?

COVID-19 Impact on Arizona Students Education and Economically - 4 views

  •  
    Amidst the global pandemic, Arizona states students are failing statewide tests in both English and Math this spring with alarming numbers. Education officials had previously advised "extreme caution" in regards to making conclusions based on the number of cases. Disruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic due to the dramatic impact on student learning suggest "inferences may be invalid", according to the department. This years tests also painted a demographic split as White and Asian students passed these exams at twice as POC students. COVID-19 pandemic has had a disparate impact on communities of color, both economically and in loss of life.
  •  
    That's crazy to hear Covid has had such a negative impact on students performance in school, it's really disheartening. It is a rough transition going from learning in school, then trying to teach yourself through online school in quarantine, it's definitely not for everyone.

Access to Health Services | Healthy People 2020 - 5 views

  •  
    Access to Health Services is a key issue in the Health Care domain as many people face disparities due to limited access. Many issues are covered in brief or general detail with focus on each main idea. These ideas include lack of Health Coverage, poor transportation services, deficient Health Care Resources, and how they impact vulnerable populations.
  •  
    Healthcare barriers are a concern in today's world, with pharma gaining ever more power within the government. Healthcare prices are skyrocketing, creating an economic barrier. I learned from this article that physicians could refuse to help patients using Medicaid just because of the lower rate. The goal of Medicaid is to ensure that low-income people can receive healthcare. Physicians should not refuse healthcare to the Medicaid population based on the rate of cost.
  •  
    This article provides in depth insight on the barriers people face accessing adequate healthcare in America. It talks about how important healthcare is and how it is a human right to have equal access to it. The website provides credible evidence and sources to support all the contributing factors.

We need to rethink how to manage water in Arizona - 1 views

  •  
    This article provides information about how Arizonans can get the security they need for water availability. The text includes details on how ground water is managed as well as utilizing the Colorado river project to help with current water concerns.
  •  
    I've been noticing how many people are sharing their concerns with water scarcity in Arizona, which is scary to think about. Any state that has hot, dry or humid weather is at high risk of this because of how much water is needed to survive in extreme temperatures. I appreciate the efforts described in the article about projects that are contributing to water scarcity in the nation and how to conserve as much as we can. Water is truly an under appreciated thing essential for the planet's survival.
  •  
    This is about how the water security in Arizona is bad, and is in need of management of how we use water. The water in Arizona is told to be very much an important source for Arizona and is needed for our health.
