Health in our world

Yesterday in class we discussed health and education. Through that we thought of some interesting classes which i have not thought about for a while, Bill Nye, and the Magic School Bus... oh Ms. Frizzle. But we also addressed health discussed in modern entertainment, such as Sex and the City. Not only do i personally love this show, but it discusses health issues constantly, whether it is mental health and stablity, or other health issues such as condom use, STI testing, addiction, pregnancy or other sexual functions, even breast and testicular cancer, all while these women live their normal lives... trying to do exercise in other forms, whether running, dancing, or yoga these women are teaching us things. They are at least getting girls to think about something other than pleasing other boys, they are pleasing themselves. It is important to show that these women are not perfect, do not live perfect lives, do not all have healthy and perfect habits, but they are strong women who are the women they are supposed to be.
