End of the semester
At the end of the semester I found my self that I have a lot of new knowledge that I didn't have before. There are some things that I learned by reading other's comments and blogs.
I found this course very useful. The topic that was intresting to me was about addiction. The course is not required in my major but I have learned a lot of reality and issues that face women in general not only in unites states but also all over the world. This blog system was very difficult for me at first,but once I came to understand how it works it is very fun. I enjoyed reading other's paper's and blogs. By reading others ideas it make me as a leaner to be more brighter in my ideas. The course use is intresting and also useful.

Harassment
Women are mostly victims of abuse and harassment's. Sometimes is because of the family members mostly husbands , boyfriends and sometimes brothers or uncles. The abuse can be due to the way we dress or our bodies.
The best way for a woman to avoid abuse or harassment to stay away from a situation. For instance if you live with abusive husband or boyfriend stay away from him. Although it hard for a person to realize or accept that she is getting abused by someone she loves. Also avoid to go places by your self especially at night, or places that you not sure if you will be safe. It is also better to park your car on the open places especially at supermarkets like walmart or albertson . The chances of being attacked at the open places are lower compare to the darker places.
Also it better to report situations, although issues like sexual abuse, are not reported because women think that it is embarrassing. I think it better to report because it protects you as a victim and also it proctects others who were about to become victims.

Drug Addicts
Addiction is an issue that requires treatment. Addicted to drugs should be considered as a disease so that people could be treated instead of sending them to jail. I think the best way to solve the drug problem is provide mandatory drug treatment to those who are affected.
Sending a drug addict to jail does not make her realize that she do have a problem. Most of drug addicts they continue to do drugs while trying to be careful so that they do not get caught. Once they are sent to jail after they complete their time and come out of jail they still try to proceed with using drugs. Most of the drug users who are in jail they admit that they have been charged with the same crime before. This confirms that jail sentence does not solve their addictions .It just helps them to stay away from it for the period that they are in jail. By watching geographic channel " inside prison"I saw that, sometimes the officers in jail order all prisoners to stay out of their lockers so that they can inspect them. Once in a while they find drugs like cocaine, marijuana and others hidden in some of prisoner’s belongings. This indicates that for some reason they have an ability to get drugs while they are in jail.

Eating disorder
Since there are different kinds of eating disorder the approach for a friend who has an eating disorder will be different. For instance if my friend has been affected by anorexia, I will try to encourage her to eat I will point out how skinny she is. Also I will try to explain to her that she doesn’t look pretty any more because the clothes do not fit the way they should. I know probably these tricks may not work but also I will encourage eating foods that will not make her gain weight. I try to make her eat a lot of fruits and low carb diet. I know it will not be easy to make her eat since she fears to gain weight.
If all these efforts do not work I will encourage her to psychological help. I am sure her mind will change and she will start to eat as a normal person.

Age Healthfully
Living and stay healthy is a very difficult task to perform. It is difficult due to the life style that we live. I do spend most of my time eating junk food. I know I will be doing these as long as I am working. Also I do not spend time to work out because I am not a gym person
I think in order to stay healthy while I am old is by doing regular exercise and eat healthy. I think if I get into a habit of eating healthy food and working out that will keep my body in good condition while I get older.

Prevention of Heart Disease and Cancer
I think the best way to promote the prevention of Heart diseases and cancer is to educate women. Education should be provided at school for students and also seminar should be given at work place in order to educate women about the diseases.
Also women should be encourage to attend their regular physical exams and also to attend breast screening. On top of that young teenagers should e educated about things that can cause genealogical conditions like early sexual intercourse .

Exercise:
The most challenge that prevents me from eating healthy is due to spending most of my time out of my house. Once I leave the house in the morning I do not go back until midnight. So I do eat my breakfast , lunch and sometimes dinner on the street. This includes MC Donald and cafeteria. Therefore it is not easy for me to eat healthy food anyway that is my excuse. On the side of exercise I think I am lazy I haven't commit my self to exercise. I do walk around the street once in a while but I do not like to attend the gym. I think I refer exercise to development of muscles. I have planed to focus on the exercise starting next month. They have constructed a gym across the street from my house so I am impressed. The gym will open in April. I take this gym as a motivation to exercise since it is not very far I can walk and it will take me about ten minutes.
