Why is fitness such an issue in the United States of America? Things to think about before you answer: 1. What personal perception of fitness (does it have to do with appearance or does it have to do with health) 2. What are the communicated fitness goals that are communicated through the media? 3. How does the perception of fitness differ between: genders, age groups, races... 4. Does socioeconomic status (how much money you have) affect the perception of fitness
