Obesity Problem

Introduction

The report analyzes the causes and interests of the policy in terms of social problems that society is facing these days. Research analyses the main accidental causes of obesity by using Stone's (2002) discussion of policy problems and the application of these causes on obesity problems. Report specifically explains the use claims of mechanical causes to advance their position.

Discussion

The main aim of this book is to give proper and incisive knowledge about the successful implementation of public policies among all the issues that relates to social problems. Stone dedicate this book to all those people who are studying it for their academic exercise. And, implement its knowledge to solve all the problems that relates to the social welfare. Stone specifically discuss all the policies that relates to the social welfare in terms of policy paradox.

The deliberation Stone conceives and observes accounts at once for individual notions of self-interest . Some notion of common good through which persons bound into a larger community or political whole. For Stone, this whole is neither merely sum of its different parts, nor some super-whole lording over different parts, but rather as, it was for Mary Parker Follett a creative whole-a-making (Deborah 2002, p. 450). Stone takes her notion of community seriously as the foundational notion of parliamentary association, just as the exchange of individual self-interest constitutes for her the foundation of economic association. A reductive interpretation of human association in either this fundamental economic or this fundamental political direction is for Stone, inadmissible. Real social problems confronted, and political economic life live between these tensions.

Obesity had become key challenge for the public health. Recent data shows that 61% of adults in the Unites States are overweight, and 34% are obese.

Canada and the United Kingdom show lower levels of obesity, but the long-term trend is similar and visible not only in developed but also in developing countries. A growing number of children, youngsters, and adults are overweight. As a result, of that trend, public communication on this issue has increased in the last few years. Policymakers have coined the term obesity wave to label the accompanying challenge in a simple, illustrative, but at the same time also somewhat misleading way. Obesity is the result of excessive storage of fat, a condition that promotes the development of hypertension, heart disease, psychological, and certain types of cancer.

Various theories suggest as responsible for this pathology to genetic factors, endocrine, cultural, psychological and behavioural. Therapeutic strategies used range from low-calorie diets to drugs and modern surgical techniques that demonstrate success in the treatment of abnormal obesity. Despite the interest, of the scientific community and international organizations on the issue of obesity has not been able to reduce or stop the increase in obesity, because obesity is necessary to understand as a manifestation of a global social ...
