Fat and cholesterol
f) Saturated fats pose a great risk for heart attack and stroke diseases. Saturated fats tend to clump and form fatty acid deposits in the body that is a health risk. Cardiovascular diseases are experienced due to fatty foods, among other causes. The cardiovascular diseases occur when cholesterol and other fatty substances form small tumor like swellings on blood artery walls. This clogs blood pathway, thus affecting flow of blood, oxygen and other nutrients, leading to heart attack.
g) Trans fats are contained in spreads and margarines.
The examples of saturated fats include chicken skin and fat on meat. Chicken and beef for example have 30% and 50% of saturated fats contents respectively. It is thus important to have very low intake of fats, specifically the saturated fats that lead to blood clog.
h) Examples of unsaturated fats include flower seeds and help to lower cholesterol and reduce heart disease. These food items have lower fat content and are considered better for those with heart related diseases and complexions.

Digital Sovereignty
Digital sovereignty is a concept that has been in existence since the 1990s when the internet was introduced. This means that countries or leaders of a country have not controlled what information their citizens feed on or access on the internet. However, there have been many debates about this and some countries have managed to filter what type of information their citizens can access through and internet. It is a challenging platform for the government to control since it is made up of so many players with different interests and therefore there is always a challenge in controlling cyberspace. This paper discusses cyberspace and its relation to governments and how governments are trying to be the sovereign controller of what their citizens have access to (Pinto, 2018).
Digital sovereignty goes hand in hand with digital governance because it is those who control cyberspace who can claim sovereignty over it. It is normal for many citizens currently to look up to their governments to provide protection against their privacy or to combat online misinformation. On the side of politics, digital sovereignty is understood as the power enjoyed by the governing body to rule without interference from any external sources or bodies. Jean Bodin came up with the theory of sovereignty in the 16th century and according to him, a ruler can make final decisions. However with time sovereignty became understood under democracy, territoriality, and the rule of law. Even though in the past the governments were sovereign, their importance came to be diminished by the introduction of the internet (Bria, 2015).
The two most important parts of cyber sovereignty which challenged the normal operational way of leadership were; multi-stakeholder internet governance and cyber exceptionalism. Cyber exceptionalism suggests that cyberspace is completely different from the analog way of living and ruling, therefore it should be treated differently from all other technological matters. This was a very popular concept during the rise of the commercial internet in the 1990s. However, it is still common whereby the thinking of cyber exceptionalists is that the growing importance of computer-aided network communication diminishes state sovereignty (Pohle, & Thiel, 2020).
The other participants in this by the name cyber libertarians argue that digitally mediated forms of politics will be good for society since they will induce decentralized governance and organization of societies. They believe that through cyberspace and the internet of things the many demands of the current society will be reduced. Therefore for this to be possible means that cyberspace has to be on its own and not controlled by the government. The resonation of cyber exceptionalists and cyber libertarians can be seen today in the cryptocurrency markets.
In most instances, there is a firm belief that digital communications are hostile and a risky factor to state sovereignty. Even though there is a desire for the internet to be free currently the governance of the internet and cyberspace has become an important part of humanity since there are challenges and threats which can only be dealt with if properly governed (Floridi, 2020).
In conclusion therefore digital sovereignty has many effects and concerns which need to be dealt with. The first is the political environment; others include economy, individual self-determination, and user autonomy among others.

The sociology of life
Discrimination in sociology is treating people with prejudice owing to their membership to a particular category or group. Opportunities are availed to one group while the other is denied. The areas that are commonly affected by this kind of discrimination are age, gender, sex, race and ethnicity. Sociology has made an attempt to define these aspects as well as explain their social construction. Frable (139) observes that priorities and methods in explaining the categories of people differ in content. However, research agrees in the fluidity, multidimensionality and the personal social construction of gender, sex, race and ethnicity. Sociology theories agree that, the socio-historical background and the current situation of an individual are the major determinants of their categories.
The critique by the feminists of the Marxists theories depicts the situation of social inequalities and discrimination as it is in the society. The Marxists theory depicts inequalities in the society in the way they bring out capitalism. The poor and the elderly have-nots are the victims of the system. Feminists on the other hand are concerned with gender discrimination. They argue that the Marxists were blind to sex. Marx is also criticized for ignoring, thus discriminating against race. His theory is focused only on one race worldwide. The movements that championed for equality led to sharing of information among scholars and the political class to bring about affirmative action in order to address social inequalities. The failure of the feminists’ theory to address racial and class differences among women, and age discrimination for the elderly, attracted criticism, that led to the display of inequality in the western society. The diversity of the peoples of the United States and the diverse cultures may be a factor that naturally attracts discrimination.
