Final Topic for Presentation

My group came up with some interesting problems and concerns for our final paper. Some of the topics include: obesity, nursing/teacher shortages, violence in children, and teen pregnancy rates. We discussed possible solutions and reasons why these topics were major problems. All of these problems are major problems in America at this point.

Obesity was a problem that we thought would have several solutions, but some of the solutions might not be feasible. The solutions consist of limiting TV time, having surgery, dieting, eating a balanced diet, and nutrition classes. Some of these solutions are reasonable and some have to deal with parents having some control in their children’s lives.

The second topic that we had was the nursing/teacher shortage. This is a problem that needs to be solved. Some of the solutions that we came up with include more grants and scholarships to encourage people to choose these professions. There also needs to be more hands on experience before people get their degrees. More resources would be nice as well. Nurses and teachers should also get more pay for their line of work.

The third topic that we discussed was violence in kids. This is a major problem however, it is up to the parents to monitor their children and the type of activities that they are involved in.

The final topic that we discussed was teen pregnancy. This is a topic that is a major problem and needs to be solved. We decided that this problem would be easier to research and that we could all come up with several different solutions. Some of the more obvious solutions are: make it easier to get contraceptives and parents becoming more involved with their children. Another solution would be to start Sex Ed earlier. An additional solution would be to make it more difficult to get on welfare.

I hope that this paper and presentation goes well. I also hope that we all work together as a group.
