Week 11: Last week we watched the documentary, "Unnatural Causes" in class. I liked this documentary a lot, because it was very eye opening. It showed the influence money has on people's health. I wasn't surprised to learn that poverty and poor health went hand in hand. We were also introduced to the Healthy People 2010 assignment.
Week 12: The main focus of this week was solutions and improvements in the environment. We worked on our second Advocacy Project assignment called "Healthy People- Thomas." We picked a topic that we will later advocate for at the end of the semester. The topic I choose was Indoor Allergen Pollution. I recently developed allergies and I'm interested in learning more about them and it's related directly to the environment because it has to do with air quality. We also read reading 20, which talked about how the ozone is closing! On Thursday, I led a class discussion about the reading. Overall, I thought that people were pleased to hear about the ozone closing and happy to know we're doing something right in the environment.
What I learned about myself: That I could be a professor someday, lol jk! Well, for not knowing that I was even going to lead discussion, I think I did a pretty good job. (But far from prof material, I'm sure)
What I learned about the environment: That the ozone is closing!!! Yay, I would have to say after this semester it was great to learn about something positive about the environment!
What I learned about blogging: I don't think I learned anything about blogging these past two weeks. But that we really must be doing a pretty good job at blogging if Dr. V sent them to HEDIR listserv for other people to see!
Pretty sure that covers everything, hope you all have a great weekend;)
