It is one of the biggest problems of the American society, obesity Two out of three people in the US struggles with these “disease”.  The problem starts at a very young age, one out of three children is too fat. That makes the US the fattest country in the world. Comparing to Europe  the US has twice the number of people struggling with their weight. While this is a very serious problem (not only in the US but in the whole world) is there a sort of taboo to talk about this problem.

Americans pay a high price for their obesity, people with obesity struggle with depressions, they are missing work or school, become suicidal faster, earn less and find it harder to marry. Besides obesity leads to diabase, cancer and heart and vascular diseases.

In part it is your own responsibility, but partly it is the responsibility from the American society. Thomas Frieden, director of the center or disease, control and prevention, said: “If you go with the flow in America today, you will end up overweight or obese”. America is a country where individualism is very important. Take your own responsibility, the government will not interrupt your personal life (in that way).

The massive use of soda for example, lot of Americans drink litres of it each day. Soda is really bad because it consists lot of sugar, nutritional values are zero and soda doesn’t still appetite. The American portions mostly are very big in the US, and lot of Americans consume these amounts on a daily basis.

A quick solution must be found for this serious problem, otherwise many people will get diseases and probably die of all the sugar and fast food.

This video shows how big the problem is..

There are 58 countries were the death penalty can be executed. The US is the only Western country that executes prisoners on a regular base. Since 1976, 1328 people got executed in the US. A deadly injection is the most used method but some states offer electrocution, gas chamber, or a firing squad. It depends per jurisdiction which crimes can be punished with death penalty.

All states including the Federal Government and the army decided that murder can be convicted with execution. Other crimes that convicted with execution were: high treason, kidnapping while using violence, hijacking an airplane, raping a child that is younger than 12 and espionage.  The list of crimes that can result in execution consists of 15 crimes.  In 1994, President Clinton extended the opportunity to convict a criminal to death penalty. Since then the number of executions tripled.

Nowadays less people got executed in the US. In 2007 there were only 12 states that knew no death penalty, in 2014 this increased towards 19 states. In 1994 more than 300 people got executed, in 2014 only 72 people got executed.

The White House is the official residence of the president of the United States. The White House is located in Washington D.C., a federal district in the US. In 1792 George Washington decided where the building should stand. Thereafter started a struggle between 9 architects, they all wanted to build the new residence for the president. The Irish-American architect James Hoban was eventually chosen to build it. After 8 years of building the job was done. First the presidential residence was called ‘Executive Mansion’. They don’t know exactly since when it’s called The White House but the first time the presidential residence got painted white was in 1798.

The White House consists of six floors, included is a 2 floors basement. Besides the main building there are two more wings, in total it has almost 300 rooms, the living quarter has 25 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms.

The living quarter is located on the upper floor of the main building, in the west wing the working quarter is situated which includes the Oval Office of the president. All the chambers in The White house have their own names, mostly called after old presidents or first ladies.  For example there is a Lincoln bedroom, Jacqueline Kennedy garden or Truman Balcony. Presidents have the opportunity to rebuild or make quarters, President Roosevelt for example made an swimming pool in the west wing. Because of his disease it was good for him to swim.

It is possible to visit The White House but after 9/11 it is only possible to visit the visitor center, and it is necessary to make a reservation.
