Task

Task #1

Many external factors, such as family, friends, and the media, influence choices we make that impact our health.

In the 2.01 Influences Discussion you will discuss both positive and negative influences on your health choices.

Give an example of each of the following:

  • Describe an influence that has helped you make positive health choices
  • Describe an influences that has made it difficult to make positive health choices

If this influence is a person you know personally, do not use their name but try to be more specific than 'friends' or 'family.' Instead you can describe how this person is in your life. For example, you might say my uncle or my best friend in the fourth grade.

If this influence from another source, it is fine to name the product or celebrity.

After you have posted your examples, respond to at least one classmate about one of their examples. Your response should include the following:

  • Whether you agree or disagree
  • Why you agree or disagree
  • How a similar influence may have affected you

Be sure to check the scoring guide.
