Jennifer Torres  Professor: Dr. Michelle Rosen    Is Fast Food the New Tobacco?   Obesity has become a major problem in society. Statistics have shown a number of increase through out the years. There are many causes of obesity but getting the government to get involved in what a person consumes into their bodies should only be held accountable to one itself.  I think that like tobacco, fast food can be addicted.

People have different opinions when it comes to pop culture and its benefits to society.

In the Ted talk video from Phil Miller he explains to his audience that pop culture is basically a group of people who come together with a common purpose or idea. He explained that social media happens to be one of the main tools people use nowadays to draw attention to a specific group of people. I think this is true because people all over the world use social media as a platform to bring awareness to certain to...
