How does someone earn or keep power?

I think someone can earn power by working hard at their job and doing a good job,and someone that has is in a higher position than you or somebody else. For example, if you work at a restaurant as a waitress and you work hard and you do a good job every time you work, you could get moved up to a manager position. Therefore, earning power is a good thing to do it makes you push for something you want. If, you have a good job that you like and you want to keep it or in other words staying in the same position that's when you keep power. If you are keeping power you will keep the same position. As long as you are keeping power you are staying the same as you are doing, or working the same all the time and not having any new goals.

Why are so many Americans over weight?

Average weight of an American is over weight by 17 pounds but there is so many more people that are still over weight by much more. Some people think they are over weight because their traits, but anyone that is over weight can lose weight, they say it's because their traits for an excuse so that they don't have to exercise.

There are many reasons Americans are over weight.One reason someone can be over weight is they eat when their board, or when they don't have anything to do. Also when you are around allot of food like a thanks giving dinner just because you can eat allot doesn't mean you have to. People eat lot of junk food this can cause overweight allot; therefore, before you eat something look at the labels on the packing and see how much fat is in the food saturated fat is the worst for you.

Many Americans are over weight because they don't get enough exercise. People might not get exercise because they might be lazy; therefore, people would probably sit at home and play video games or watch T.V. Others may have a lack of motivation, which they don't have the right mental attitude. Over weight people may also have a busy schedule; as a result of a busy schedule people might have a long job or a family to worry about. A way you could get exercise is go to the Y.M.C.A, or a gym just for like half an hour and run on a treadmill after or before work if you have a job, and if you have kids to worry about take them with you they could play in the gym or somewhere to.Once you start a regular workout routine you should start a healthy diet.

Exercise is very good for the body and if we did it more the average overweight American would drop. Keep eating healthy and going to the gym allot.

How is the movie 2012 and what is it about?

2012 is a really good movie I suggest seeing it. I recently saw 2012 it was way better than what I thought it would be. But I can't say to much about it because it will ruin the movie for you. So here is just a little information it was one the most action packed and adventures movies I've probably ever seen after the movie I felt like it was really gonna happen. 2012 is about when the world is supposed to end on December 21st, 2012 which was predicted by the Mayans. Also all humanity is trying to stay alive from being killed by an earth quake, falling in the earth after it has caved in, hit by a tsunami, or killed by a volcano/lava it seemed the only way to stay alive was by being in a airplane. You should definitely watch this movie.

Video game addiction

Website

The average video game player is 18 and 30, College students say they love X box live. Some ones son was addicted to the game Ever quest and committed suicide in front of his computer. For many college students don't even have video games and most that do don't have video game addiction but it is still a problem. X box live does help you to bond with friends and if only played for like 30 minutes it wont hurt and you wont get addicted. If you are playing a video game that you can't socialize in it has very little benefit. Some ways that you can keep from playing video games is get into after school sports or activities. If some one is not introduced to video games until later in life like around the age of 20 or older usually they have already devoted their time toward other interest.
