It's FINALLY sunny!!! YAY!!! What a great start to this weekend!The last two weeks of class have just flown by. During Week 11, we watched the documentary, "Unnatural Causes", in class. This documentary was incredibly interesting to me. The documentary basically explained that power, money, and economic ranking all relate to a person's health status. I did a review on this documentary, and loved it!!! This was by far my favorite documentary that we have watched in class. We then learned about the goals of Healthy People 2010 and found out that we were going to choose one, and find some Environmental Legislation, using THOMAS. We used that information to make our next advocacy post.
In Week 12, we talked more about our Advocacy Projects. We also were assigned Reading 20 from our book. This reading was about the fact that the hole in the ozone layer is closing. We had a great class conversation on Thursday about how we are used to hearing the bad about the environment, and that it is also really important to hear about the good that is coming from all of our hard work. If people start thinking that what they are doing isn't making a difference, they will eventually give up. I think that this article really brought our class' spirit up.
Earlier this week we received reusable cloth bags from Super One, so in class on Thursday we took a class picture and made a thank you note out of a recycled Super One paper bag. I think that the whole class had fun with that, I know I did.
Well, thanks for reading! I hope you all have a blast this weekend!!!!!
Have a Great Day!!!

ReplyDeleteI am so happy about the SUN too. These 2 weeks did go by quickly, just like the rest of the semester has been going. I really liked "Unnatural Causes". It really opened my eyes on the correlation of health and race. I was shocked by the statistics.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a blast this weekend as well, thanks for your suggestion on my Advocacy Project by the way.
The two weeks of class were quite a breeze. "Unnatural Causes" caught my attention. I've never thought about how much correlation wealth has in terms of health. I hope I will be fortunate enough to have great health no matter my wealth status.
ReplyDeleteI also really enjoyed that movie we got to watch, it made me think differently about socioeconomic status and health, things I was aware of before, but not to that extent. It was a really good thing to learn about. This advocacy project is also interesting and challenging, well see what we can make of this!!
ReplyDeleteNice Post Sara! I think the unnatrual causes documentry was one of my favorites this semester too. I never thought about the interesting but sad issues that this film brought up. I am looking forward to the Avocacy project and when were all done I think it's going to be really cool
