Part 1
Independent research question:
How do the qualities of poor neighborhoods contribute to the childhood obesity epidemic?
Part 2
Julie's question
Why do we as people feel the need to be accepted by others? Why cant people just accept others for who they really are?
These are great questions, but I feel they need to be given a little more focus. Is this really a question about humans' need for conformity? Is it also about a need to belong and a fear about not belonging? I'm not sure this is helpful. It's really late.
Aja's question
"What Distinguishes Friends From Family (And Vice Versa)At what point does a Friend become family? What is that tipping point?
This is an interesting question. I immediately thought about that saying, You can choose your friends but not your family. I think you are talking about adoption of a friend who can then be treated like family and not just as a friend. Are you talking about the friend becoming a member of the immediate family? Wouldn't he/she have to move in?

This is for hw 55. Devin, when you answer that question, you should give numbers that proves that poor neighborhood has a large impact on the obesity problem. You should also check up if it is a poor living quality that effects obesity. Maybe some rich neighborhood has the same problem. You should also research the main cause of obesity and why it only effects poor neighborhood.
