Maw and Paw ATL is creating a minimalist lifestyle tech company as artistry flourishes in the belief that less is more. The biases of celebrity culture as well as classism could be harmful towards mental health in regards to being justly decisive as well as contributes to dwindling physical health by not supporting an active lifestyle. Consumerism blisters good health due to poor choices that lead to a domino effect of high stress, hypertension, and diabetes in earlier life stages. In mature stages of development, this increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, dementia, as well as Alzheimer’s disease. It isn’t always rich celebrities being glorified. Celebrity culture at times multiplies by acts of classism which creates an illusion of needs through consumerism. In the southern regions of the United States, relationships with consumerism is receptive to the idea of celebrating in excess. A noticeable health risk in southern states is diabetes which is the body reacting to not being able to produce enough insulin or resisting it. Maw and Paw ATL’s target is to be a healthcare technology management app connected via Bluetooth to a reactive dog collar to provide cues for health crisis in addition to an interactive map for identifying service dogs in training.
Living with excess leads to unhealthy consumerism habits such as lack of physical stimulation through exercise and poor diet choices for rewarding and subjective pleasures. A leading factor from overconsumption in the south can be in the form of diabetes. The American Diabetes Association uses the hashtag #EverydayReality on social media to connect with people and promote diabetes awareness which is the seventh leading cause of bereavement according to the CDC. Cultural stigmas in the south are usually based upon bootstrapping from nothing until there is socioeconomic movement even without necessary resources. Life moves slower in the south but can rapidly increase through the lens of consumerism, southern charm, loyalty, and being supportive to certain communities. Celebrations are commonly viewd as not applying purchasing power in moderation. Southern comfort begins to develop which occasionally leads to unnoticed risks of not everything being equal such as the brain requiring clean and appropriate blood flow to operate at its best. Unknowingly, sufferers with type 2 diabetes mellitus are 2 to 3 times more likely to suffer from mental depression whereas over 205,000 Georgia residents don't know they are at risk. Maw & Paw realizes that health management in the south can feel like being required to participate in cotillion courses in which were used for proper ettiquete courses to become southern belles or gentlemen. Our ambition is to avoid cotillion types of self care by leading by example and providing helpful content. The links below investigate life expecancy across the United States.
