Obesity defined
Every part of the world is reeling under the weight of particular problems. Of course there is no uniformity in the problems that particular parts of the world are suffering from. This is because the occurrence of some problems is dependent on geographic location, racial composition population etc. This definitely explains the variations in the steps taken by particular groups of people or even the legislative structures that have been put in place to curb particular problems.
However, if there is one problem that has been cross cutting all those divisions of race, age, geographical location, creed and religion etc, then it has to be obesity. Quite a large number of people may be surprised to have this as a problem. In fact many people even when they have it have been in denial. One of the most affected groups of people is the youth and especially those in colleges. This may be attributed to the free lifestyle that characterizes these institutions. While many people would look at obesity as a disease, it is important to acknowledge that it actually is a lifestyle disorder. That could explain its prevalence in the institutions.
Obesity defined
Obesity, also referred to as being overweight is the excessive or abnormal accumulation of fat in an individual thereby putting his or her health at risk. This condition is measured using BMI or Body Mass Index. BMI expresses an individual’s weight (expressed in kilograms) per his or her height squared. The height is in meters. An individual whose BMI I is equal to or more than 30, he or she would generally be considered obese. In addition, individuals whose BMI is 25 or more would be considered overweight. While obesity may not be considered quite a serious condition, it is actually on e of the key risk factors as far as several chronic diseases are concerned. These include cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Who does it affect?
Although this problem was at one time considered to be a problem affecting only the high income individuals, there has been a shift in this tendency with low as well as middle income individuals becoming victims if they could be called so. This is especially in urban setting, which explains why college students are some of the highly affected.
How widespread and for how long has it been in existence?
Initially, obesity was not considered much of a problem. After all, it was not so widespread and therefore even its being a risk factor had not been recognized as such. However, as early as 1961, fears had been raised as to the dangers of leading particular lifestyles especially on sweets, alcoholic beverages and no exercises schedules.
Currently, studies show that about 50%of all the Americans are beyond the ideal weight. In most cases, this excess weight does not come in form of muscle mass but rather body fat.
What is its cause in the college?
There are numerous reasons why obese cases in college have been on the rise in the recent times. These include the following.
Consumption of vast amounts of calories- recent times have seen an increase in the amounts of foods that individuals eat. Testament to this is the number of fast food canteens sprouting up everywhere all of which make quite a good kill. With our lives getting busier every day, making healthy meals has become a bit of a herculean task and therefore fast foods become the only alternative. They definitely happen to be quite tasty and therefore every time we have some few coins we end up going for them. Eventually, the calories intake exceeds the amounts needed by the body in the long term. The excess energy would be stored in our body cells in form of sugar and fat which outwardly comes as being overweight or obese.
Not having enough sleep- this is quite common for many college students. With all the assignments and the busy lives for those who work part time, sleep becomes more of a luxury rather than a necessity. Research has shown a link between obesity and sleep deprivation. This is due to the increased appetite that results from hormonal changes. When an individual does not have enough sleep, he or she would produce a hormone called Ghrelin which stimulates appetite. In addition, less Leptin would be produced. Leptin is a hormone known to suppress appetite.
Leading inactive lifestyles- while we all appreciate the technological advancement made in various fields, we must admit that it has changed our lifestyles in ways that are less than desirable. With remote controls, dish washers, washing machines, computers and televisions, most people even in colleges have become inactive. Simple activities like walking to the shops, classes and even home from school have become alien. Many of us would rather take a lift to a class in second floor rather than take the stairs. We definitely prefer to drive to school and the shopping malls even when they are a half a mile away rather than walk down there. The less activity the fewer the amounts of calories burnt. In addition, physical activity has a bearing in the functioning of the hormones which in themselves have a bearing on how food is dealt with in the body.
Previous efforts made to contain the problem
On acknowledging that overweight and obesity were interfering with the lives of many students, quite a large number of efforts were made to contain the problem. The most significant ones included
Counseling and raising awareness on the lifestyle changes that we need to incorporate in order to contain the problem
Equipping our health care centers with medications for helping the affected individuals to lose weight.
These two are definitely well meant efforts. However, even the well structured strategies can flop and these were no different. While it is arguable whether they were effective, the gradually rising cases of obesity prove that more efforts need to be made with better strategies being devised.
Counseling on life changes that individuals need to take would only be effective if active measures are taken to enforce these changes. In this case, the counseling and raising awareness efforts ended up like any other class work material.
As for provision of medication, you will acknowledge that the approach is quite simplistic. This would have been enough to endear it o the people. However, it was understood that some of the medications are habit forming. In addition they have undesirable side effects not to mention the high probability of regaining the weight one lost.
Suggested solutions
While there may not be any solution per se that may effectively address the problem, it is worth noting that adoption a holistic approach would be quite imperative. In my opinion, three solutions would be effective in dealing with the problem. These are explained below
Offering food combinations containing vegetables at reduced prices in order to enhance affordability- vegetables have been found to be very effective in enhancing sliming. Some like cabbages contain valuable chemicals known as tartaric acid that inhibits conversion of carbohydrates and sugars into fat. The essence of lowering the cost of foods that contain veggies is to give an incentive to the students to eat more of these and preferably substitute the fat ridden fast foods. Given the need to save an extra coin, the students will be enticed to take more veggies.
Minimize the fast food stores in the campus to discourage students from buying junk food- in most cases, the students do not get into the fast food stores because they really need to eat there. It is due to the convenience of these stores which always entices the students into buying there. By reducing their numbers in the university, it will definitely be less convenient for the students to go to the fast food stores. In any case, even if they do o there, chances are that they will have to queue for long which may discourage many from frequenting these places.
The university should regulate PE classes making it mandatory for individuals to attend them as a condition to graduating from college- one of the main causes of obesity is the sedentary lifestyles that most of us are leading whether due to pretty arguable reasons or not. That notwithstanding, physical activities have been found to be quite effective not only in helping burn calories in our bodies but also in the production of hormones that control how food is dealt with once ingested. Incorporating the PE lessons as part of the “curriculum” means that you are increasing the opportunities for them to expend the excess fat or sugars that would have accumulated in the body.
Basis of the solutions
As stated earlier, no single treatment would be sufficient to address obesity as an issue. The problem would only be addressed by comprehensive strategy that looks into the various aspects of the problem. This is especially as to the causes of the problem. This is what the three combined solutions attempts to do. It is important to acknowledge that the three solutions should be looked at as one and not in isolation. Decreasing the number of fast food stores reduces the incentive or temptation of the students to go seeking them. In case they actually do, they may end up queuing for long (which is an exercise on itself).
Even if the number of fast food store is reduced, the students will still need to eat. This is where the lowered prices of food combinations offering veggies comes in. It would fill the vacuum left by the reduced fast foods. This strategy discourages students from taking fast foods while encouraging them to take foods that combine veggies. It is a diet substitutions strategy.
There are definitely instances when the students will succeed in eating more calories than they eat. While this may not be prevented, it will be taken care of by the physical activities made mandatory where the students will burn excess fat.
As you may acknowledge, the three strategies provide a holistic solution addressing all the aspects with each solution covering the loopholes of the other solution.
Expected opposition
These solutions draw opposition in the fact that the students would still get the fast foods if they so wanted from outside sources. True as this may be, the idea here is to minimize the incentive or the temptation to go to them since they will be fewer.
As for lowering the prices of food combinations that have veggies, there are arguments that absolutely no one will be forced to take the food. However, with the reduced chances of going for fast foods and the lowered prices of foods with veggies, students being rational consumers will eventually go the Veggies’ way thereby yielding success for the program.
Making mandatory the engagement in PE may seem to be a herculean task. However, it I still enforceable when the students know that they will not graduate if they do not participate in the PE.
Conclusion
Obesity, while quite a big problem is a lifestyle disorder. Studies have shown that the most effective ways of addressing it are through lifestyle changes. In most cases, we as a people may not take that first step and therefore we need positive reinforcement (incentive) as well as have active measures taken to combat the problem.

Ethical Principles in the NASW Code of Ethics
Student’s name
Institutional Affiliation
Introduction
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) code of ethics refers to a set of standards which inform the professional code of conduct to be followed by all social workers. It provides a set of principles, standards, and values to guide the everyday conduct and decision-making of social workers. The ethical principles in the NASW code of ethics are based on the values of integrity, competence, social justice, the significance of human relationships, and service. Since 1996, the NASW Delegate Assembly approved the first and most substantive revision on 4th August 2017. The 2021 update entails language which addresses how important self-care is. Additionally, amendments to the standard of cultural competence give more direction to people in the social work profession. The purpose of this essay is to discuss two ethical principles in the NASW code of ethics including social justice and the dignity and worth of the individual.
Social Workers Should Challenge Social Injustice.
First, it is the responsibility of social workers to pursue social change in a given society. Social workers are mostly tasked with protecting oppressed individuals, vulnerable groups, and other groups of people. Social injustice has to do with taking action in situations that infringe on the rights of a given group of people. Social change impacted by social workers focuses mostly on issues of discrimination, unemployment, poverty, among other forms of injustice(Byers & Shapiro, 2019). The activities carried out by social workers help to promote knowledge and sensitivity about cultural diversity, ethnic diversity, and oppression. Additionally, social workers work to ensure there is access to the services, information, and resources that are required by people. Furthermore, they ensure there is meaningful participation and equality of opportunity when it comes to matters of making decisions for all people. Social work is cognizant of the fact that society is faced with many social injustices hence the need for professional social workers to know about these injustices to enable them to work towards change.
Social Workers Should Show Respect for the Worth and Dignity of an Individual
Another principle in the NASW code of ethics is that social workers must recognize the worth and dignity of other people. Social workers are required to treat every person they come across in a respectful and caring fashion (Willis & Molina, (2019). Additionally, social workers are required to be mindful of the individual differences and ethnic and cultural diversity of other individuals. Notably, they should strive to promote clients who are socially responsible and determined. Social workers also enhance the capacity of clients to resolve their problems hence bringing social change. Moreover, social workers should recognize that their play a dual role not only to their clients but also towards the broader society. It is the duty of social workers to resolve any disputes occurring between the interest of their clients and the broader society. Social workers should resolve disputes in a manner socially responsible and consistent with ethical principles, ethical standards, and values of the profession. Supporting this principle is imperative because respect is a value that is crucial in navigating all aspects of the practices of social science.
Conclusion.
The NASW Code of Ethics provides a set of principles, standards, and values to guide the everyday conduct and decision-making of social workers. Social justice and observing the worth and dignity of other individuals are some of the codes of ethics laid out by NASW. Social workers are responsible with protecting oppressed individuals, vulnerable groups, and other groups of people. Social workers are required to treat every person they come across in a respectful and caring fashion and to be mindful of the individual differences and ethnic and cultural diversity of other individuals.

Hello everyone and welcome to my presentation about the Ethical Dilemmas in the Provision of Mental Health Services for People with Disabilities in Australia
Research Question: How do the ethical dilemmas encountered by social service practitioners affect the ability of people living with disabilities in rural areas to meet their mental health needs?
Research Aims
An ethical dilemma, also known as an ethical paradox or a moral dilemma, is an issue that arises in the process of decision-making when there are two feasible solutions, both of which are not totally appropriate from an objective standpoint. Many people with intellectual disabilities living in rural areas face challenges when seeking care and assistance from local social workers and other health practitioners. According to Roberts, Battaglia, and Epstein (1999), rural caregivers encounter serious ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. In rural areas, resources are isolated and clinicians give care with minimal support, services, and safeguard for the patients. Rampant ethical issues in the provision of mental health services includes use of therapies and approaches that are not fully tested to fit the population in rural areas. Additionally, personal decision making on the part of mental health providers is often used as opposed to use of best practices founded on research. For such ethical issues, health care providers face a dilemma in choosing to pursue the said actions or waiting for the acceptable practices that would take years.
The aim of the study is to first identify the key ethical dilemmas in the provision of mental health services for people with disabilities in rural Australia. Secondly, the study aims to identify the extent of ethical dilemmas and their effect on patients. In addition, it will determine how ethical dilemmas affect access to mental health services for people with disabilities in rural Australia.
Selected Theory: Rational Choice Theory
Social work practice is the backbone of mental health. The audience for the current study, individuals with disabilities, is a group that requires more attention than the conventional health care receivers. As such, the complexity of social work becomes relevant and requires nuanced decision making based on the unique and complex needs of clients. Here, the rational choice theory is useful in an attempt to understand whether and how social workers can balance the factors including their expertise, rationality, and retail ethical practices in their decision making. Understanding the rational choice theory would inform the practices within social work to influence the decision-making processes in order to make the best, most effective, and ethical choices.
Rational choice theory is an important tool for aiding social workers in understanding the motives of the people they serve via the profession of social work. Using rational choice theory, social workers may learn why their clients engage in specific behaviors and end themselves in difficult circumstances. A social worker’s knowledge of rational choice theory may be useful in the process of developing treatments and therapies. Social workers may influence their interactions with and recommendations for their clients by understanding their clients’ decision-making processes, which are driven by what is in their clients’ best interests. Social workers in rural Australia may apply the rational choice theory to investigate more effective approaches to tackle client difficulties.
Positioning of the Research from a Review of Relevant Social Work and Literature
According to Bipeta (2019), the moral and ethical sanctity of confidentiality binds the patient-physician relationship, particularly in mental health. The caregiver is tasked with ensuring that the patient-physician relationship is established and retained on these grounds. However, some patients with mental health issues want the physicians to disclose information to third parties regardless of such information being restricted through signed consent forms(ref). Mostly, the third party in this is the caregiver. As a result, the presence of written consent may derail social work practice and care for patients.
Ellem et al. (2008) points out that there is a need to uphold ethical considerations when conducting life story on people with intellectual disability. The author categorically lists beneficence, respect for people, justice and integrity are aspects of consideration and should guide a research when conducting life story research on intellectual disability. Considering these aspects is vital as it can assist the researcher respond to difficulties during the research process. Ellen et al. (2008) goes further to point out that researchers need a good understanding of principles and concepts of social justice and should be motivated and committed to put the established principles into practice. Moreover, Ellen et al. (2008) calls for the need of the researchers to look into power dynamics when interacting with their participants.
Toquero (2021) conducted research with the aim of examining how Covid-19 interfered with the delivery of care to mental health patients living with disabilities in the Philippines. The main outcome of the research was that mental health patients living with disabilities experience increased systemic, social and scientific barriers in their quest to access healthcare. The situation was worse during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this reason, Toquero (2021) argues that people with disabilities should be offered healthcare support and accessible health services to help improve their living conditions in the post-Covid-19 world.
According to Darby & Weinstock (2018), psychiatry exists as a specialty of medicine that involves immense moral questions. The conditions treated threaten the vital elements that define human beings as autonomous, developing, accountable and contented individuals. In addition, these conditions are defined by extreme disability, suffering, and stigma (Morisse et al., 2013). It remains important to ensure that such patients receive quality and ethical care to ensure they establish and retain tremendous adaption and strength to overcome challenges.
Informed consent empowers the patient to assume control in making health-care-related decisions. Darby & Weinstock (2018) claim that healthcare-related decisions must reflect the true desires of the patients build on a unique set of personal values. Physicians are required by the law to ensure they operate under ethical practices as guided by informed consent. The law is selective and requires them to offer information in certain cases while withholding information in others. Thus, it remains important that physicians are aware of the legal perspectives of ethical practices, particularly confidentiality. However, it becomes a challenge for practitioners when certain events have compelling, competing ethical reasons that limit obtaining fully informed consent. Practitioners may avoid obtaining fully informed consent in cases they define as high-risk and could cause harm to the patient or third parties. Such decisions are complex and lack straightforwardness.
The introduction of tele-health for patients in rural or remote areas presents benefits and challenges. According to Moghbeli et al. (2017), advancements in technology have seen increased utilization of information technology and telemedicine in rehabilitating and treating diseases. Consequently, the importance of ethical issues has increased. It remains important for healthcare practitioners to keep patient information confidential and secure. Authorized access to patient information provides another challenge since not all employees in the clinical settings have the authority to access full patient health records.
The issue of confidentiality is critical to mental health for people with disabilities. According to Evans et al. (2012) people with disabilities are more vulnerable to mental disorders such as anxiety, sadness and grief, sleep disturbances, irritability, apprehensions, and withdrawal compared to non-disabled peers with mental health issues. People with disability have challenges accessing mental healthcare. Such issues vary in degree from one individual to the other as determined by various demographic factors such as age. Individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities need assistance in comprehending the existing and consequent disruptions that affect their routine lives. Thus, it becomes important that health care practitioners observe confidentiality to minimize impacts such as anxiety, irritability, and withdrawal from social life and mental health care.
Methodology: Systematic Literature Review
A systematic literature review is a kind of review that gathers and synthesizes the results of several research papers in order to address a specific research question. The key activities required in doing a systematic review are the identification of relevant research, careful assessment of research reports, synthesis of findings, and understanding of study conclusions. The approach is a reproducible methodology that includes established eligibility rules for included research as well as a systematic search strategy to locate all studies that match the standards. The method was devised to identify all studies that met the qualifying criteria. Systematic reviews may be trusted as a reliable source of information, particularly when they are of high quality, encompass all relevant studies, and thereby reduce bias. The use of a systematic technique to choose the papers for the review decreases the possibility of bias. The review becomes more replicable by making the search strategy and technique more apparent.
The systematic literature review (SLR) will enable the researcher to synthesize the existing scientific evidence to answer the question guiding the study. The question will be approached in a transparent and reproducible approach while including already published evidence on the topic. SLR has become a major methodology commonly used in disciplines such as public policy research and health sciences. For analysis, the thematic approach (Hastings and Cohn, 2013) will help identify the major themes such as fidelity, confidentiality, and client-social worker relationships and their impact on limiting care. It is possible to apply the qualitative research method known as thematic analysis to many different philosophies and fields of study. This adaptability is what makes this study method so useful. It is a method for discovering and revealing the underlying patterns inside a dataset. Applying careful topic analysis may help the study get credible and illuminating results. Because of the theoretical latitude it provides, thematic analysis is an adaptable research strategy that may be used in a broad range of exploratory work relating to social work and the research objectives. Thus, it provides an explanation of the facts that is both detailed and intricate.
Significance, Strength, and Limitations of Research
Significance
Both the theoretical and practical contributions made by the study will add to the corpus of previous research that has been done in the field of providing care for persons with intellectual impairments. There is a lack of awareness of the restrictions that come with the presence of ethical conundrums in the provision of care for individuals with intellectual impairments who live in rural locations. The theoretical contribution investigates how the rational choice theory affects decision-making in individuals who have a disability. When ethical concerns that were previously agreed upon are disregarded by caregivers and clinical settings, it may be difficult for people who have impairments to continue coming to their scheduled sessions and treatments.
Data will be provided by the theme analysis, which may then be used to investigate the research subject and offer a response to the research question. The hypothesis that has been expressed will be assisted in being proven correct by the data that has been gathered. The SLR approach will be able to assist in providing substantial information that will provide insights that will add to the current body of study.
The results of the study will have an effect, both in theory and in reality, on clinical procedures and the way persons with intellectual impairments are cared for. In the first place, the study will assist in the development of an evidence-based strategy to care for persons with intellectual impairments who live in rural regions. This will be accomplished by overcoming limits caused by the breach of fidelity and confidentiality. In addition, the material will increase awareness assisting patients to overcome ethical limits.
Strength
Quantitative and qualitative approaches to research design are used in this study to varying degrees. The research provides an insightful view of the topic under study. As a consequence of this, the amount of detail obtained from the theme analysis becomes incredibly important, in particular when the data is acquired in a qualitative manner. Through the use of thematic analysis, it will be possible to investigate the issue in more depth and assess the extent to which ethical conundrums impede the provision of care to disabled individuals in rural locations.
Limitations
It is largely agreed by research that knowledge that mental illnesses manifest differently depending on a person’s age, color, and gender (Ellem et al., 2008). There is additional data suggesting these characteristics influence how persons are portrayed in studies of mental health (Bipeta, 2019). One of the trickiest parts of doing research with persons who are disabled or have mental health issues, according to Hayes et al. (2011), is gathering information from a population that is particularly vulnerable. Existing research has limitations, including difficulties in contacting undocumented cases of mental illness due to factors like social workers’ lack of trust and fear of repercussions, the potential for stress reactions among data providers, and the bureaucratic procedures involved in getting studies approved.
Project Issues and Problems Faced
I also encountered many problems in researching and searching the literature. As there are many synonyms for mental healthcare, rural and ethical dilemmas, and although there is a wide range of research on the ethical conflicts of providing mental care to disabled people, the literature on social service practitioners providing services to disabled people in rural areas could not be searched and collated effectively at first, but this difficulty was well improved by completing a table of synonyms and trying out different search strategies. Also selecting the right methodology was another problem faced. By conducting a large number of searches and comparing the methods used for different research questions, an effective method suitable for this research question was finally identified. At the same time, some challenges were confronted in the construction of the framework of the dissertation. For example, the language was not concise enough and the logic and content were not specific enough, including how to make the research logical and cohesive as a whole.
Preliminary Findings
Intellectual impairment is widespread in Australia. 400,000 Australians have an intellectual disability in 2009, according to Trollor (2014). 57% of these people also had mental problems. Increased numbers, especially during the H1N1 pandemic, suggest more people require mental health help. Intellectually disabled patients, especially those in remote places, have trouble getting medical treatment. Remoteness and poverty make it hard for residents to access proper health care. According to ABS (2022) “People with disabilities (7%) were more likely than those without impairments to report having trouble paying bills on time in the last three months. This was 12% for individuals with disabilities and 7% for those without.” 31% of people with intellectual disabilities reported facing this difficulty.
Due to frequent social connections between client and caregiver in mental health treatment settings, confidentiality is a moral problem. This is true in rural and smaller areas (Allen et al., 2020). Allen et al. Since privacy is unattainable, this is difficult. Mental health professionals must always protect patient privacy. More than two-fifths of 16-to-85-year-old Australians endure mental health concerns at some point. 43.7% of the population. In Australia, anxiety disorders affect 16.8% of the population (Australia Government, 2022). Anxiety disorders cause unease, discomfort, and tension. Women with disabilities are more anxious than men with the same limitations. 31.5% of 16-24-year-olds experienced long-term anxiety symptoms (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022). According to the study, Australians with impairments are more likely to experience mental health concerns than their age-matched peers (Australia Government, 2022). According to the study, people with disabilities are four times more likely to develop psychological distress. 76% of Australians with psychological impairments will feel psychological discomfort, 60% with intellectual disabilities, and 55% with brain damage, stroke, or head injury. These numbers are based on Australians with disabilities (Australia Government, 2022). The number of people with impairments grows with age, according to the report. 1.8% of men ages 15 to 24 have a sensory impairment, compared to 4.2% of boys ages 0 to 14. (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022). 5.8% of 0-14-year-old boys had intellectual impairment, against 4.9% of 15-24-year-old males. The ABS Girls are less likely than boys their age to suffer brain or sensory impairments. Risk diminishes between 0 and 14 years old.

The government data provided in this article will be appropriate in creating solutions based on patterns and issues highlighted.
Bipeta (2019) Legal and ethical aspects of mental health care necessitate more research 108 young adults Mental health issues in recent times Definition of mental health issues and the ethical concerns from a legal point of view amongst participants Ethical issues must be addressed from a research-based point of view, enabling specially-tailored recommendations to mental health issues.
Chan et al. (2004) Services for adults with intellectual disabilities and mental illnesses need to be updated 35 adults in mental health institutions and records Intellectual disabilities in rural populations is significantly high Recording the definition of ethical issues from surveys issues to adults with mental health issues Intellectual disabilities and mental health issues must be addressed in terms of ethical direction and issues affecting different population.
Further Steps that need to be conducted
Further steps include conducting thorough thematic analysis of secondary research to supplement what the research has already gathered. Consequently, the researcher will identify the main themes and experiences from the information collected. In addition, the information will facilitate the completion of the findings and discussion sections.
Thank you for your time.
