1)Discuss the reasons for rising tensions between the French and British throughout the early 18th century, ending in the 7 Years War. Be sure to mention the differences between the two empires (population, structure), their relations to Native peoples, and one or two reasons why the 7 Years War turned out the way that it did.

2)Review the text, carefully, as well as John Dickinson’s “Letter from a Farmer” (it’s actually a mashup of points he made in a few of his “Letters”). For what reasons do these North American Brits believe they are being mistreated by Britain itself? As you consider this, do you believe these complaints about the (Stamp Act, Townsend Duties, other regulations of mid-1760s) were valid and reasons for rebellious anger by these “Patriots?” By the way, John Dickinson and a few other “Patriots” such as Patrick Henry of Virginia were significant slave-owners, does that alter you thoughts in any way?

 

Sample Solution

The adipocyte hormone leptin, which circulates at concentrations proportional to body-fat content, plays an important role in the relationship between obesity and energy homeostasis. A deficiency of leptin causes severe hyperphagia and obesity, with physiological leptin replacement corrects both hyperphagia and obesity in leptin-deficient individuals. But most individuals with obesity have elevated plasma leptin levels, raising the possibility that common forms of obesity are associated with leptin resistance.

1. Lifestyle and diet:
Lack of physical activity is a major contributor to childhood obesity. Evolution of multimedia, television, internet, video-games are engaging the child in sedentary lifestyle. Parents are now more conscious about the academic performance of the child, as a result of which child’s physical activity is restricted.
According to NHANES III (1988-1994), the prevalence of childhood obesity is highest among children who watch television ≥4hours/day and lowest among those who watch ≤1hour/day.
A large randomized control trial by Robinson(5) compared two groups of children at similar public schools. One group received a 6-month classroom curriculum to reduce television, videotape, and video-game use, while the other group did not. Robinson found that compared to the control group, children in the intervention group had statistically significant decrease in BMI.

Aside from these lifestyle issues, eating patterns of children and adolescents have changed dramatically in the past few decades. The consumption of high calorie soft drinks and junk food has increased tremendously. Children who frequently eat fast food consume more total and saturated fat, more total carbohydrate and added sugars, less dietary fiber, less milk, and fewer fruits and vegetables than childr
