Many people strive to live happy and healthy lives. The only thing that people are not aware of is that everyday decisions have a major impact on how their lives actually turn out. For example, some people may get enough exercise, or enough sleep, but they don’t get enough nutrients, which can have a negative impact on their overall health. In reality, many people make healthy choices, but they also make poor choices that negatively affect how they live now and in the future. Here are some steps that explain how to live a healthy lifestyle.…
Louie Zamperini, when asked what he would do if he had to go through his experiences again, replied that he would “kill himself”(page number). In fact, most of the people involved in any war end up hurt either physically or mentally. Louie Zamperini was captured in WWII by the Japanese and survived 2 years in captivity. In Louie’s story, the two emerging mental side effects caused by war are jealousy and anger. After the war, Louie felt much anger toward his captors. This overtook him, leaving him more injured than he was in the camps. In the camps, he had his defiance and his resiliency. When he got back, he could not resist the urge to drink, and he did not recover very quickly. In the book Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand conveys the fact that war is an extreme event that can have very negative effects on those involved.…
Bill Mckibben, author and environmentalist, explains why being a vegetarian is beneficial for the environment in the article "The Only Way to Have a Cow." He argues that the manufacturing of corn and beef releases harmful gasses into the atmosphere. Eating less meat would decrease the amount of those gasses and improve the environment. I believe there is some truth to what McKibben is saying but his tone is slightly like that of someone who is or thinks they are superior.…
The consumption of meat is a better or dietary option then vegetarianism. Not only does it have added health benefits that vegetarians don’t receive. It is also a easier harvest to produce. Author Barbara Kingsolver writes about the importance of livestock harvests and how the resources for animal harvests are much smaller than the resources for vegetable harvests. In her essay you can’t run away on harvest day she also talks about the geographical locations that can’t grow vegetables and the native people who can only survive on the harvest of livestock. David Biello talks about the resources that go into agriculture and the negative affects like deforestation or wasted produce in his essay will organic food fail to feed the world.’…

Eating meat decreases our ability to have a healthier and longer life, as Perter Singer reasons “Meat is not necessary for good health and longevity” (212). We contribute to a contamination free environment and live healthy life eating meat in reasonable amount. Eating mostly vegetable is more sustainable then eating meat. This is better for nature, as we would not support large meat farms which release methane into the atmosphere. Meat production requires more water, grains and maintenance cost, where as plants like legumes improves the soil quality by adding nitrogen naturally to soil.…

Hispanics who own a lowrider have always been frowned upon within the United States. Lowriders have been around since the 1920’s and still live strong today. Lowriding is a lifestyle that privileged Hispanics are able to be apart of. It is a way for Hispanics to express their culture through vehicles with custom paint jobs, lowered suspension, hydraulics, murals, and rims (lowriders). Lowriders have been around since the 1920’s, but did not include hydraulics or custom rims until the 1950’s. There is a large population of Hispanic gang members within the United States, but Lowriders are not affiliated with gangs and should not be seen as gang members for living their lowrider…
All throughout our lives we have had to balance school with whatever important thing was going on at that time. In elementary school it was easy. We had to balance school and play time. In middle school it was a little more difficult because we had to balance school, our friends and the occasional relationship. High school was when it became a little tricky because it was when most of us got our first job. We then had to balance our job, friends, relationships, and school. We somehow managed to balance all of these things throughout our lives until college came along. College is a transition period for many students, most of which must learn to balance work, friends, serious relationships, and financial debt.…

Animal agriculture has an impact impact on the environment. It is estimated it accounts for 75% of greenhouse gas emissions in the developing world(walsh). About two thirds of agricultural land is used to feed livestock(Brooks). This is pretty bad I mean we could be using this land to feed the world; but instead we are using it for what? Bacon.…
Even though one of the main reasons for having pollution in our atmosphere is carbon dioxide emissions, studies have shown that there are many other culprits. One of these many culprits is the production of meats as well as maintaining the livestock itself. Scientists found out recently that “raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined” (Top 10 Reasons Why It's Green to Go Veggie). Livestock also contributes to global climate change due to the fact that they cause the destruction of the land and the pollution of water…
Since the change of the agricultural production, there has been both positive and negative effects, with regards to the environment and the economy. New technologies, government policies, increased chemical use and the mechanisation of the farming world have all favoured maximizing crop production. There have, however been some significant costs. Topsoil depletion, groundwater contamination, decline of family farms, increased costs of production and reduction of species diversity.…
