Proposal Argument


            In today’s America, society has many issues involving obesity, which is essentially leading to a general downfall in every aspect. For example, when people become obese, they generally start to become lazier whether they are at work or at home.  Moreover, this leads to a negative effect for America because if they are getting lazier and slower at work, we will be less efficient as a country. Speaking out against obesity and trying to improve it, however, may cause issues because people may feel offended or they just won’t be willing to fix it because they are happy with the way they are. There are reasons that these changes should take place in society. One reason is that America is known as the “fattest” country because America has a higher percentage of obese people in the population in the entire world. Secondly, America is trying to become more economically and industrially independent, requiring more workers that are quick and agile and not slow and obese. Finally, following obesity, are extreme health risks that are quick killers for people who do not care to watch their weight. Some people blame genetics for obesity, but it has to start somewhere. For these reasons, I believe that obesity is a huge issue in society and should be helped and noticed as a big deal.

  1. I think this is not only an awesome paragraph but, a great topic that needs to be addressed in our country. Especially when it comes to childhood obesity because it is so prevalent in our daily lives. Our generation can be the ones to fix the problem. Obesity is a disease that effects at least one person in every family. Finding a solution or even just promoting awareness will help our nation tremendously. I look forward to hearing more about your topic because I think it is a very interesting issue. In my opinion I think you did an awesome job!

  2. Great choice for your argument .Nothing can help motivate people to fight against obesity more than the fact that the negative impacts of obesity will target the person his/her self first of all. Obesity not only makes people lazy, but also increases the rate of heart attacks, blood pressure and diabetes. Which also cause our huge amount of hospitalization and treatment every year. It also brings down the life expectancy for our nation. All these reasons make obesity a controversial subject which needs immediate response.
