Factors That Affect the Health of the Community

The health problem that I have identified in my community is allergies. Allergies are said to occur mainly when the immune system of an individual reacts differently to substances such as pets, foods, pollen, insect and some medicine. Such elements are however referred to as allergens. A few people experience the allergies, and the allergens might not also be harmful to people in the same environment. People also develop allergic diseases for example atopy which is inherited. People, therefore, become allergic when they come in contact with the allergens after that occurrence of allergic reactions. This paper, thus, delves to discuss the physical, social, cultural and behavioral factors that contributed to allergy.
The physical factors in my community that contribute to allergy include consumption of certain foodstuffs. Some people are allergic to certain foods such as eggs, beef or fish. Such people develop allergic reactions whenever they consume such foods. Another physical factor in my community is the availability of pests and insects breeding sites such as swampy areas which facilitates the accommodation of insects that when sting human beings and bring about allergic reactions. The presence of some substances which get in contact with the skins has also caused a lot of allergic reactions among people. Such components include pollens from plantations.
The social and cultural factors in my community that contribute to this problem include poverty and low living standards. Many people suffer nutrition health thus ending up eating foods that might cause them allergy because of lack of ability to afford other better options of nutrition. They also dont get treatment for their allergic situations because of poverty. Another social cause is the types of meals which are culturally prepared to be consumed on certain occasions that are mandatory. Lastly, lack of nutritional health programs from the federal social services in the community.
The individual behaviors that have also contributed to the development of allergies are lack of proper eating habits. Some people might develop the allergies because they dont watch their diet keenly and eat anything without considerations. Some foodstuffs might be harmful when consumed which is commonly accidental because people dont know proper food consumption. Lack of appetite can also cause allergy in some people whereby they will have reactions because they havent taken any meal. It is therefore not advisable not to eat for long periods because of the lack of appetite that might be caused by a personal thing. Meal timing also contributes to allergies as some people might stay long without consuming any food substance. It is therefore important to consider taking meals at the right time of the day.
In conclusion, allergies are caused by a lot of factors that might generate from many corners in society. For example, the physical elements can easily facilitate the development of allergies in human beings more so when society does not consider eliminating the causes. For instance, keeping away pests could be helpful to people who are allergic to pests and insects. Social and cultural factors are also common causes of allergies among people more so the young children who might not be well conversant with most of the cultural aspects of the community. It, therefore, calls for social assistance and awareness of the causes of allergic reactions and also community lessons that will help the community stay healthy form allergies.

Writing Your Critique
Your paper should be three full pages in length (approximately 280 words per
page), double-spaced, written in 12 pt font, and must conform to MLA
guidelines. Do not use extra spaces between paragraphs
Consider your paper a reaction paper that chronicles the history of your
attendance from an experiential standpoint. You can include information on
your thoughts and feelings about the event as you prepared to attend,
attended, and returned from the event. Your experiences as you transitioned
from home to the event are of interest to your readers, providing a sense of
“being there.”
You should describe the setting for the event. Your work should detail the
type of venue you attended and include information related to the purpose
of the event. You should think about the journalistic questions of “who,
what, when, where, and why,” for this part of your work. Be specific about
when and where the event occurred.
You should describe the performers and include information about
instrumentation, setting, costuming, and stage behavior. Here are some
things to think about:
Were the musicians “engaged” or did they appear to be going through the
motions of performing. Did they communicate subtly with each other while
performing. Did they simply provide music or did they actively communicate
with their audience. Did they seem polished and skilled?

Describe the makeup and behavior of the audience. Did they attend to
the music or treat it indifferently? With regard to the event, was the
music the primary or secondary focus?
Did you enjoy the event? What was it that made it enjoyable or not
enjoyable? What do you recall most vividly about the experience? You may
find it helpful to reflect upon the event for a few days, prior to completing
your paper.

your point

Compare the effects of two movies Select an older movie that has either been remade, rebooted, or has had a sequel.

Compare the effects work of the two films and do some research in how the effects were created. An easy comparison would be to select an effect that is part of the signature style of the film. Select effects that would be a part of the remake as well. Find some shots that are common to the two films or TV shows. Do you like them? Do you think they look realistic? Can you figure out how to create those effects for yourself? 1500 words
