Research shows that the activities people engage in to keep healthy change as we age. Our gender, cultural background, and socioeconomic status also affect what choices we make when we exercise. You have taken a look at how age and gender affect exercise choices. Now, explore how cultural background may play into various physical activities. You will need to interview three people from different age groups and cultural backgrounds to determine which of these factors have an effect on what physical activities they choose to participate in. You are not allowed to interview any of your family members. You will then need to come up with a thesis statement. Your thesis statement will depend on the questions and responses from your interviews. Sample thesis statements may be: "My research shows that people of (culture X) prefer playing soccer, while people of (culture Y) prefer baseball." "I have found that a person's culture has an impact on which physical activities individuals participate in to stay healthy." Organize Your Essay According to the Following Guidelines Your first paragraph should introduce your thesis statement. There are samples listed above.
