A Psi of Rho-lief: Raising the Curtain on Hazing A couple days before I moved into the residence halls, my friend asked me to join a sorority that has a chapter here at UC Riverside called Gamma Phi Beta. I cringed for a moment and immediately rejected her offer because the only words that came to my mind that are associated with sororities were alcohol, parties, and sex. Before college, I believed that sororities were basically overrated and expensive social clubs that only beautiful, elite girls could join. Greek organizations have such awful reputations for partying, hazing, and disregard for academics. I completely detest the idea of allowing others the power to control me, so why would I join a sorority?
There was only a simple law, and that was to not read books as well as think, making “the mind drink less and less.” This doesn’t seem much of a sacrifice because society was filled with far more excitement than literature could offer. Meanwhile, new technology helped people do everyday chores and made life simpler, leaving more time for fun. Like Beatty said, “Life is immediate, the job counts, and pleasure lies all about after work.” Entertainment ruled their society. The parlor walls seem like a god compared to our TVs. The seashell radios are convenience at its best.
Advertisements stated one could “get healthy without ever setting foot in a gym”. Celebrity endorsements helped promote the shoe, and messages went as far as to say you could lose weight and made claims about improved cardiovascular health with the use of their shoes. Claims like the one Skechers made were found to be misleading to the public after an investigation by the FTC. While Skechers USA claimed they had an independent medical study performed, it was discovered that the doctor that performed the study was a chiropractor married to one of the marketing executives at Skechers. In addition, the study he conducted was an independent clinical study and he could not provide the medical documentation necessary to back up any of the medical claims Skechers used in their marketing and promotions.
So, how do we stop this? In 2012, New York City Board of Health proposed a ban of the selling of large, 16 oz. or more, sugary drinks in restaurants and in other venues. Is this fair to the common population? Shouldn’t everyone have the right to buy and sell what he or she wants?
Acquiescence, violence, and nonviolence are the ways to handle the oppressors. One way that Dr. King opposes in his essay, is acquiescence. The oppressed people are downhearted to accept and endure their lives as inferiors. King does not accept this method due to increase great self-importance to the oppressors, and end the future of the oppressed people’s descendants. The film Iron jawed Angels, the worker ignored Lucy Burns’s speech for organizing a parade to promote woman’s suffrage because she did not want her employer to be upset and fired her.
I do support Campos’ position that BMI tool is not a precise gauge for your health, because this tool uses only your height and weight to determine whether you are obese or not. Every human body is unique in shape and dimensions. BMI tool can consider physically fit individuals “fat” just by working out and attaining muscle mass, as it happened with Campos himself. Undeniably, muscle mass can’t be played into the BMI computation, resulting in an extremely faulty tool. However, I don’t completely agree with his statement “Being Fat is OK.” He overlooks the fact that, unquestionably, there are people who truly are
Carla’s weight was not that big of a concern for me because I thought it was the stress from her brother causing her to be underweight; I took this assumption directly from my own situation of living with an older brother. Looking back I realize that many of these assumptions may not be Carla’s
Throwing them in the care of incompetent and untrained correctional officers; nowhere in the requirements for a correctional officer is addiction education even mentioned. I have nothing against correctional officers I’m sure they are all overall fantastic people outside of work but in the work environment they are overall incompetent and not able to deal with the stress that is encountered when dealing with people with a disease. They should not be found anywhere near the fragile and unstable mind of an addict. Rehab produces lower recidivism rates than prison.
