Housing in Robeson County

As something that was mentioned before housing in Robeson County has also seemed to have caught my interest.  A majority of individuals are living in areas or homes where they are paying off a mortgage.  Also a majority are also living by means of getting loans.  I feel that this is a huge problem especially for those who are living off of loans.  At this point in time nothing can be done and the problem persists and continues to be a big problem.  In time however this will only increase and many more people will eventually sink into debt for the numerous amount of loans they fill out.

Ancestry in Robeson County

One thing that has caught my particular interest would have to be Ancestry in Robeson County.  From looking at the results a majority of people that are born and raised in Robeson County are mainly American Indian Tribes.  A primary example of American Indians would have to be the Lumbee Indians.  With a percentage of 28 they are considered as the majority within this part of the US when compared to others.  This is truly surprising and with that being said I hope to discover more about this some time in the near future.

Health Ratings in North Carolina

Something else that seems to catch my attention would be the health ranking in Robeson County.  As of right now the current rating is set to 100.  In this particular area based on the stats it seems to be home to a lot of those who are heavy smokers as well as those whom are extremely obese.  What surprises me the most about these health factors would have to be the excessive drinking and and rate of sexually transmitted infections.  Teen birth rate also seems to be at around 83 and while it may not seem like a lot, it actually is pretty high in number.  With this I'm going to stop at this for now and I'll update on this later on.

Cancer Profiling in Robeson County (Continuation)

To continue on a previous post, I've decided to take a glance at the cancer profiling from Robeson County once more.  In 2007, around 17,425 individuals in North Carolina died from cancer and 261 in Robeson County.  When compared to each other Robeson County was 21.4% had died from cancer and 23.0% from North Carolina as a whole.  For those whom are uninformed, cancer can be considered as being a group of around more than 100 difference species.  However, they are generally seen as being uncontrolled growth and the risk varies and increases based on age as well as gender.  As of right now cancer is seen as being the leading cause of death for those under that age of around 85.  With this being said it can be concluded that cancer takes a majority of lives in North Carolina.

Robesonian Theft

Taking another look at the Robesonian I decided to check out the crime reports once again that were listed in the month of November and once again it seems that the majority of crimes come from theft.  Ranging from around $600 to as low as around $400 people are still getting robbed.  However the amount of items stolen seems to be fairly high.  Also as of right now it seems that the amount of crimes in this regard is only increasing by every day.

Inspirational Video

The only thing that I could come close to finding a video related to stress with music would have to be the following below.  It represents violent situations which occur out of the spur of the moment due to pent up stress.  Instead of taking it out on others, there are other ways to deal with this.  Since this was the only video I could really fine, this would probably mean I would be the first to create a stress education video.

Inspirational Text

For my inspirational text it was found as being a little difficult for me.  However, in the end I managed to find something that is quite common, although effective.  Not only is it effective, but it is well described and thought out.  And with that being said it should benefit those who seem to have a hard time coping with stress.  Especially for those who feel that it's just "too much" while attending college.

Healthy eating in North Carolina

For this post I've decided to take a look at how North Carolinian's are taking care of their health.  I'm not merely talking about health as in healthcare, but health as in healthy eating.  Many citizens today are known for eating extremely unhealthy foods that's not necessarily needed.  As of this current point in time, North Carolina is ranked as the 35th among U.S. states in term of overall health.  Recently there was a newly created Health North Carolina 2020 health objectives which addresses all aspects of health.  Mainly the goal of this is to improve the health status of every North Carolinian.  So far it has been deemed as successful and to this day they are still working to improve the health of the citizens of North Carolina.

Project #3

Just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to finishing up this last project.  I've managed to figure out how I'm going to present my project.  As well as what type of content that I intend to incorporate into it overall.  Hopefully this will be a true learning experience for me.  Being that my topic is going to be stress in general it may be a tad bit difficult to say the least.  However I intend to find a way to work through it all somehow.
