Lone Survivor
The Lone Survivors opening scene is real life footage of the United States Navy Basic Underwater Demolition/Seal training also known as BUDS. Berg began the film with these shots to inform or remind the audience of the hardship the men who become Seals face before they even step foot on a battlefield. This was very important because many people do not get to witness the training that Soldiers, Sailors, or Airmen endure to become Special Forces Operators. The brief scenes of the real life training drives home the importance of not just physical toughness but also the mental fortitude that these men must endure. Following the opening scene of the BUDS training the film shifts to the group of Navy Seals in Afghanistan enjoying their time off and reconnecting with family back in the United States. This was the calm before the storm but also depicts life as a deployed military personnel and the separation between family and love ones. Once the Seal team receives the mission there is a sense of excitement amongst the team and eagerness that contributes to the aspect that it takes special men to carry out jobs or missions of this natural, especially with them knowing that at any moment this could be their last breath. As the film moves into the battle scene in which the recon element of the Seal Team is out number against an army of Taliban fighters the film is creative in staying true to the events that transpired based on the actually survivor’s recount Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell. It demonstrates that the relentless reality of war giving the film a true experience of modern warfare. Despite its many storytelling flaws the film demonstrates the intimacy of Soldiers bonding amidst the chaotic brutality of battle. Finally in the last act of the film Berg provides insight into the Afghan culture that kept Marcus Luttrell from coming home in a flag-draped coffin. Berg elaborates on the customs involved in the extended end-credits to validate actions of the Pashtun characters that could be as bewildering to audience as they were to Luttrell.

Equal Consideration versus Animal Liberation
Assignment 3
Question 1
Equal Consideration versus Animal Liberation INCLUDEPICTURE “http://www.animalethics.org.uk/gr-spacer.gif” * MERGEFORMATINET Numerous individuals frequently utilize the terms every living animal’s common sense entitlement and animal liberation conversely. This may be good in some cases, however in a strict sense animal liberation is comprised of two separate methodologies to freeing animals: square with attention of investments and every living animal’s common sense entitlement. Artist propels animal liberation through equivalent thought of hobbies. Despite the fact that he frequently discusses every living animal’s common sense entitlement he does so just as shorthand, what he truly means is freeing animals by providing for them level with thought (Francione, 2010). INCLUDEPICTURE “http://www.animalethics.org.uk/spacer.gif” * MERGEFORMATINET Equal Consideration versus Animal Rights INCLUDEPICTURE “http://www.animalethics.org.uk/gr-spacer.gif” * MERGEFORMATINET Considering the ethical investments of all animals similarly is not the same as offering rights to animals. On the off chance that you keep up that animals and people have the same good rights that deny mischief to them, then you can’t, say, probe them. Then again, on the off chance that you keep up that animal and human hobbies are ethically equivalent in regards to experimentation then you can test similarly on people as on animals. In the event that you are not arranged to probe one then you can’t investigate the other.
Question 2
Economic Comparable Interests INCLUDEPICTURE “http://www.animalethics.org.uk/gr-spacer.gif” * MERGEFORMATINET you must apply equivalent attention to hobbies that are tantamount (economic) engages. All animal species and people impart certain real investments in that they require sustenance, flexibility of development and social communication with associates, for instance. Then again, animals and people don’t impart all hobbies. These last diversions are not practically identical hobbies so don’t think of them as. This may appear self-evident, however some individuals like to confound the issue by attempting to analyze economic investments (‘we ought not to offer rights to pigs in light of the fact that pigs needn’t bother with free discourse’).
Assignment 4
Question 6
Human Fulfillment Model
Work is an essential movement through which individuals create their maximum capacity as people. That being said, not every occupation helps the improvement of the human potential. Set a center ground between the ordinary model and human satisfaction school. Antiquated Greek: work ought to be kept away from so more important considerations would be made higher joys of craftsmanship, legislators and society put above work
Liberal Model of Work
Possesses a center ground between the traditional model and the human satisfaction model. Laborers ought to be allowed to pick the finishes of their work. Liberals hold the same thought as ordinary model that individual specialists ought to be allowed to pick the finishes of their work.
Question 7
I propose that we should think about the liberal model of function as a center ground between the gluttonous elucidation of the tradition model and human satisfaction model. Indulgent understanding concentrates on the bliss and goes for getting whatever one needs. What’s more it claims that people are allowed to pick their own inclination and the objective of financial movement is to fulfill inclination. That is the regular point between liberal model and libertine elucidation. Furthermore the satisfaction school accepts work can offer some potential for worker, which is the same to liberal model. Be that as it may, altruistic satisfaction school concentrates on what makes work; liberals concentrate on how function influences a laborer’s capacity and his life. Liberals denies that there is some standard to focus everybody ought to do. For Kantian’s viewpoint of the constitutions of genuine work, significant work ought to be the work is free for individuals to pick and it provides for them chances to learn something, ought to be the work offers a sufficient pay to fulfill specialists’ yearnings, ought to be the work can help specialist to create her abilities, and ought to be the work cannot trouble she wishes to acquire satisfaction. Furthermore the work relationship ought to obey self-rule and people. Kantian thinks self-rule and freedom are essential, and flex time gives representatives more prominent scope over their work plans. Furthermore, wage layering would part of the way address a creating social issue. Ultimately, the work can help the advancement of workers’ reasonable capacity.
Question 8
I consider that the employer has the right to offer meaningful work to the employee so that they can be able to gain from the work as well as to offer their efforts to the work. It is noted the liberal model that work must be meaningful for better production and result. On the other hand, the society also has the obligation to offer meaningful work to its people.

Obesity in the modern society
Issue
Currently, this topic has greatly revolved in the world of media to very dense levels and in response the society has debated on it from varying angles. In the research taken by the World Health Action (WHA), it emerged that a smart number of people have adequate knowledge on this issue; acquired from own experiences and the general understanding on the same. There have been controversies on the cause of this health matter with the victims taking the center of the wind. Many tend to attribute it diet whereas others takes it as a form of dysfunction associated with the body.
The question is, “should society switch off from feeding on some foods or they should feed healthily and wisely?”
The main focus of this study is to identify and echo some of the personal lifestyles adopted by the obese people, the humiliation they receive from the society and the manner in which they handle this condition.
Understanding obese, obesity and overweight
It is unfortunate that 21% of the inhabitants of the UK are obese and this figure is really setting a lot of jitters to the current growth rate of the population here. The government in collaboration with other non-governmental organizations is putting any appropriate measures in creating awareness about this condition.
Obese: this is the medical condition whereby the body accumulates a lot of fats to an adverse state that triggers health problems (Harmon 8).
Obesity: this is the outcome after one develops full obese condition. The condition is so vivid and the victim has a very high chance of developing other health complications.
Overweight: this is a common condition in that body has more fat which could be as a result of reliable food supply and sedentary lifestyle (Stern, S 4).
Research methods
The study aimed in gaining insights of health and social barrier encountered by the subjects. It also entailed in the need of eating healthily and the roles to play in the undertaking of the daily physical activities. Qualitative methods were opted in order to allow the research team to acquire adequate information from the participants. The methods were mutual inclusive since they assimilated participants from all age groups in airing their views. Primary method allowed the facilitators to consolidate views within the scope of the time allocated.
One on one interview: this method focused on acquiring firsthand information and provided the research team with the opportunity of gauging the responses given. Same structural mode was applied to the participants and thing made it possible in weighing the relevant of the information given.
Questionnaires: modular questions were structured in a very systematic manner and maintained a flow. This promoted excavating and to probe on the information acquired where need demanded. There was limitation of “yes or no” question so as to create rich research work.
Findings: Obesity arises due to combination of excessive intake of food. The study indicated that large number of those whom are obese take fatty food often and have little to do with veggies, fruits and fibred food stuffs (Hermon 28).
It still emerged that they have to take their meals thrice a day and more than the ratio that can be utilized by the body. After consulting the nutritional expert, he asserted “metabolism rate tends to become slower in cases it is subjected to fatty meals and even after the digestion is through, the product are stored within the body tissues (Harmon 122). If they remain in this condition without being utilized in the healthy manner such as taking part in physical activities; they remain to pile up them leading to this humiliating condition.” Slow metabolic rates can also trigger obesity even after feeding on small quantities of food and the solution is to conform our bodies to some physical activities such as playing.
The chart below show the classifications of body weight in relation to BMI
BMI Classification
< 18.5 underweight
18.5–24.9 normal weight
25.0–29.9 overweight
30.0–34.9 class I obesity
35.0–39.9 class II obesity
≥ 40.0 class III obesity
In addition, anti-obesity drugs are taken are scientific studies shows that they are effective in reducing appetite and at the same time lowering the rate of the absorption of the fat by the body. Research in Harvard medical school has revealed great achievements in using gastric balloon in controlling the rate of metabolism. In fact this method is preferred to general surgery in reducing the stomach volume and ability of absorbing nutrients.
Other contributive causes of obesity are: insufficient sleep, decreased smoking (smoking helps in reducing appetite), and adopting sedentary lifestyle, medical drugs that increases chances of putting on weight and endocrine disruptors that disrupts the metabolism of lipids (Stern, S 214).
Conclusion: Great concern needs to be taken in order to raise a healthy society and this responsibility has a lot to do with our own behaviors and the lifestyle that we desire to live. Adequate awareness should be campaigned for as the tool to promote unity in controlling this hectic matter.
