The three icons that I have chosen deal with change. The first icon is the television show called “The Biggest Loser.” This is a reality T.V. show that documents different individuals’ weight loss journey. These people are normally given special trainers and nutritionists that help them along the way. Of course there is a prize given as an incentive for the one “loser” who has the most weight loss percentage. The second icon I chose is the concept of “go green.” This term represents creating a safer environment. If a product is promoted by saying “going green,” it is probably going to help the environment. The third icon is a picture of our future president, Barrack Obama.
A lot has changed in the past fifty years. The way people live, work, eat, and have fun is different. I thought it was important to choose icons that reflected change that is happening right before our very own eyes. I think the television show the Biggest Loser helps motivated Americans all over the country. The individuals that are chosen for the show are every day kind of people. They are not trim, toned people that you see when you buy a work out video. They are overweight, lazy, and out of shape…just like most of us are. The “go green” concept is also very important to our society. Over the years, we have done a lot of damage to our environment. Places like Los Angeles have to deal with a thing called smog. Cars and products are being designed to help keep the environment safe. Who knows how many diseases come from toxic air supply. The last emblem is the most current icon in today’s era. Barrack Obama is soon to be our next president. Our stock markets, auto markets, and housing markets have plummeted. I believe that most Americans are hoping that Obama is going to turn our economy back around and get us on our feet again. I hope this is true.
I think that all three icons represent change very well. I feel that the biggest loser show motivates me to keep in shape. If these individuals can lose as much weight as a whole person, I think I can keep off the 5 or 10 pounds that I gain from Christmas. The better in shape you are, the better the chance you will have living longer. “Going green” is something that we are all going to have to get used to. We have made a mess of our environment and we must be more aware of products that we make that hurt the place where we live. I really do think that we need a change in this government. I live in a small town where businesses come and go constantly. It never used to be like that. I’m excited to see a president who seems to be for the working class Americans, because that is what most of us are.
You certainly are right, change is all around us all of the time. We really have seen a lot of it in the last few months,and a lot more will come as well. A new president,will be a big change especially since we have had the same one for 8 years.His polilices will change how our ocuntry is viewed and how our country operates as well.
ReplyDeleteI really like the biggest loser, it gives people who had a slim chance to get healthy a new perspective in life. It teaches them and people who are watching the show how to eat different, why it is important to eat healthy, and if you don't what it could ultimately lead to. I also agree with how everything is changing, but changing for the better. It's awesome!
