Blog Assignment (1.29.13)
I
believe “Health/Medicine” will be the most prevalent subject topic in relation
to my research. Although “Sociology” could be used as well since health can
affect communities and cultures, I have decided to stay with the
healthcare/medical aspect of it. I want to show people the benefits to
healthier diet through research. Throughout history there have been numerous
civilizations who have contributed in their health due to better eating habits.
Looking at countries such as Jamaica, India, and Japan can link historical
aspects of eating amongst societies and the role of health in regards to the
food.
Some of
the more respected groups to claim would be “PETA” (People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals) and the “VRG” (Vegetarian Resource Group). These groups
deal with topics such as animal abuse which deals directly with our health
choices as well as the “VRG” which allows for users to access health resources
as well as nutrition topics and
resources affecting the vegetarian/vegan community. Although these both are
great resources there are also health websites such as Web MD, which publish
articles about the benefits of diets and resources into understanding the
health side-effects related to foods.
