PSY339 Reflection Activities
PSY339 - Reflection Activities
At various points during the term, students will be asked to respond to reflection questions. Reflection responses are expected to be well developed and conceived, and they must clearly convey that the student has significantly pondered the issue. Students are required to submit the response in a Word document with the file name “YourLastName_PSY339_reflection#_.docx” where you will add the reflection number from 1 to 4.
Given that fast food and chain restaurants sell food items that single-handedly can exceed the recommended daily intake of fat, calories, sodium, and cholesterol, some individuals who have developed ailments as a result of consuming such food have recently begun to pursue litigation against these fast food and chain restaurants for intentionally selling foods they know are unhealthy. The chains have largely countered these lawsuits with the notion that their foods should be consumed in a limited quantity and coupled with regular exercise and other healthy behaviors. Do you think these restaurants should be held accountable for offering food that is inherently unhealthy? Or should Americans be held responsible for our behavior of continuing to consume it and more often than recommended? Write a reflection paper of no more than 500 words summarizing your thoughts on this issue.
