Health Assignment

In this unit we have been discussing our moral and emotional health and improving our meantal health. I personally believe that the way us Americans go about our health is all fucked up. We all talk about how we want to stay fit and all but we somehow figure out a way to eat McDonalds about 4-7days a week. Like can that even be possible? Our moral health about the right and wrong is so fucked up. In class we were taught about how $200 can basically help save a childs life. Andy told us to bring ten bucks to class and we would be able to save that life. Some donated, some didnt. I didnt. I know, I know....I'm one fucked up dude, but I am just an image of how morally wrong we are. I find it more important for some reason that I need to use that money for lunch.

I believe the reason for me not deciding to donate was because I believed that my ten bucks werent going to make much of a difference and that theres plenty of other people out in the world tjat can make up for the ten that I did not put in. Then I started thinking, which is actually hard for me to do, so this is actually history you are witnessing. So I thought to myself ok, what if every American, or for that matter, any human decided they would actually donate the ten bucks and not rely on the next person to make up for them. We would save so many other lives, its ridiculous.
