Victims or Sinners

I believe that there are people that can be categorized as either “victims” or “sinners”. Many children are victims of the choices that there parents made and the choices that were made for them. The environment that they are exposed to may have determinant effects on their health but they may not be able to come out of that vulnerable situation. People that belong to these vulnerable lifestyles lead a very different life possibly due to the resources that are available for there use. They may not be able to afford a gym membership to stay healthy, but there is also no safe neighborhoods around to jog. People can be shaped by their surrounding.
I still do however believe that sometimes people allow themselves to become vulnerable populations. I am a person that does not sympathize very much with obese people. I feel like they know how to prevent and control their situation, but don’t try and allow themselves to become obese. I feel that sometimes people become lazy and allow themselves to become labeled as a vulnerable population. They use it as an excuse to continue living the way that they are. I believe that sometimes they give actual vulnerable populations a bad name.
