Exam

Task: Write a short Problem/Solution essay (around 250 words) about any issue you consider worth analysing.

"Mens sana in corpore sano". These Plato's famous words can be considered ones of the most truthful words, especially nowdays. In the current society,  it is possible to see that many people exercises too much while others have an absolutely sedentary life. Both ways of life have the blame of the main health diseases of the First world: obessity, feeding problems and drugs.

It is noteworthy to say that the sedentary lifestyle is more and more present. People do not have enough time to do exercise or practice any sport. In addition, the great majority of them combie this with a bad alimentation, full of junk food, chocolate, coffee and fats. If we add people who smoke or/and drink alcohol, the result is the pattern of the unhealthy society of today: the classical "homo sapiens" from the twenty-first century. Nevertheless, doing exercise in excess, as the culturists do, is not a solution.

I would also like to highlight how the Goverment pretends to have stopped this dangerous situation, but, in practice, it has not achieved any change. Thus, my own thoughts are that one possible solution could be the key for all the problems: Education. If we taught the children and the youth in general about the health problems that appear when your alimentation and habits are not the appropiate ones, in the future they would not make the same erros that we actually do.

In a nutshell, it is curious how some little changes can make us live longer and better. If we solved the actual problems of obessity, sedentarism, alcoholism and smoking, our lifes could be healthier and even happier. Moreover, hundreds of deaths could be avoided. Thus, I recommend paying more attention to Education and being aware of the consequences of our acts. An utopia like this is possible.
