In our upcoming lesson, we will explore the evolution of public health and its impact on the well-being of individuals. Considering the significant progress we’ve made in healthcare and nutrition, as well as the ongoing challenges such as sedentary lifestyles and stress, I’d like you to reflect on the following question: do you believe that people are generally healthier now than they were in the past? Why or why not?
Paul
I believe that people are generally healthier today than they were in the past, and the advancements in medical care play a significant role in longer life expectancy. With the development of new drugs and treatments, we’re able to combat illnesses that were once fatal, such as various forms of cancer and heart diseases.
Claire
While it’s true that we’ve made incredible strides in healthcare and nutrition, the lifestyle-related health issues we face today were less common in the past. It’s not just about medical advancements; it’s about how we live our lives day to day. The quality of life is being compromised by our poor eating and exercise habits.

This week we talked about how important taking time off from work or school is for people’s well-being. Some people believe they get the most benefit when that time off is structured: that is it involves planning in advance about what will be accomplished on that day. Others believe it is better to enjoy the day with no plan for how to spend it. In this discussion post, please indicate which of those approaches to spending time off from work on school you prefer and why?
Claire
I find it beneficial to do some advance planning for my free time. I live far away from my family so when l am getting ready to visit them during a school holiday always plan my time off from school very carefully. That way l have enough time to visit with each family member.
Paul
Personally, I prefer not to make any plans for my free time. I go to school, and l have a part-time job each week. I make a schedule to be sure I can complete both my work and studies. So when l have time off from work and school, I just want to relax with no plan.

Having students work together in small groups on learning activities is a popular alternative to teaching the whole class as one large group. The average age of students in a classroom can, of course, be an important consideration when choosing any teaching approach. I'd like us to consider two age groups: very young students (ages 5-11) and older students (ages 14-18). Which age group do you think would benefit more from working in small groups on learning activities? Why?
Claire
I think young elementary school kids would benefit more from small group activities than high schoolers. Young kids are often more eager to participate and cooperate, whereas teens can be disengaged and distracted during class. Grouping kids when they’re young can teach them social skills and get them excited about learning together. High schoolers may prefer independent work where they can focus without distractions from peers.
Andrew
I think older high school students would benefit more from small group work. Teens tend to be more competitive and motivated to stand out, so working in groups can encourage them to challenge each other intellectually. From my experience in group projects for class, we pushed each other to think deeper and produce better work than we could have individually.

Let’s explore the concept of retail and its variations. In the world of retail,there's a unique type where a wide array of products are housed under one roof.allowing for wholesale purchases. This brings us to the idea of super stores. On the other end, we have small stores catering to specific needs. Now, considering these options, which one do you think holds more advantages for people? Would the convenience of super stores outweigh the personal touch of small stores?
Claire
In my opinion, super stores hold an edge over small stores due to their wide-ranging product choices, extended hours, and cost-saving options. As a student juggling classes and activities, the convenience of finding everything under one roof and the potential for bulk discounts make superstores a practical choice. While small stores offer a personal touch, the efficiency and budget-friendly nature of super stores align better with my busy college lifestyle.
Andrew
In my view, small stores outweigh super stores, mainly due to the emphasis on personalized service and repairs. The direct assistance and expertise offered by small stores are invaluable, especially when it comes to electronics or gadgets that might need fixing. While super stores provide convenience, the hands-on support and tailored solutions from small stores align better with my college experience and budget considerations.

We've been discussing the process of starting a new business and one of the most critical aspects of this process is staffing. That is, deciding which people to hire. Please discuss the following question: ls it better for new businesses to hire experienced veterans of the industry or to staff the business with younger employees who are right out of university? Why do you think so?
Claire
I think a company should staff a business with the most experienced employees possible. lf you're starting a new business, you need people around you who know what they are doing and can quickly get the business up to speed. Spending time training inexperienced people will slow you down.
Paul
understand what Claire is saying, but if you are starting a new business, you want people who are particularly enthusiastic and energetic. Who better than a recent graduate to bring those qualities to the job? You would be guaranteed an ambitious hard worker.

This week, we discussed the role of technology in society. One idea we discussed was access to mobile (cell) phones across different age groups. It seems that almost everyone has a phone these days. In your opinion, what are the positive or negative effects of parents allowing their children under the age of 12 to have their own mobile phones? Why do you think so?
Kelly
One positive effect is that phones help keep children busy. Since phones often include different applications that can help entertain children, they will never feel bored because of having nothing to do. In fact, children these days are usually engaged in playing fun, interesting games on their phones all the time, which is better than being bored.
Paul
Children should not have access to mobile phones until they are in their teens; these phones may do them more harm than good. Not knowing the potential damage that can be caused by spending too much time looking at their phone screens, children sometimes negatively affect their health, for example, by straining their eyes or making them tired.
