Q4 Benchmark

Posted by Camilo Ruiz in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

Our video is about HIV and what causes it and ways you can prevent it. HIV is a serious virus that can give patients many complications. HIV can affect things like mental health and the economy. People with HIV are often stigmatized and people aren't aware of how to get the disease. This ignorance causes discrimination. In this video we wanted to inform people so they know more about the virus. We all participated in the video. I think we did the video well but i think we could have used our time more wisely. 

Tobacco PSA

Posted by Miki Huang in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

​For our benchmark this quarter, we had to make a PSA about a public health issue. A public health can be affected by a variety of factors ranging from the environment you're in to your genetics and health services. For example, the tobacco industry is one of the largest contributors to the economy in terms of product sales. However, their product negatively impacts the health of individuals productivity levels and contributing to medical costs. This causes the government to counter their impacts.There are several careers related to public health, this includes doctors, research, education, and etc.

In the video, we talked about what tobacco is and how it affects your body; as well as why it is a public health concern and what we can do to decreases it's damage. I chose this topic because there are several people I know who are chronic smokers and I thought that this is something that could help them better understand what they were doing to their bodies and to those around them. I also wanted to provide a continuation from our previous project, since we didn't really touch upon the topic of nicotine addiction. 
During this group project, my main role was to do the research for the information and to write the script for the video (not the skit). I think something we did well was being though with our information. However, we couldn't really fit it into a 7 minute video, which is something I think we could have improved on. 

HIV

Posted by Zaina Belgrave in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

In our video we talk about HIV. It starts off with a skit of an HIV support group meeting and then transitions to us doing research on our own. We talk about what HIV is and how it affects your body. We also talk about different ways to contract HIV and how it affects different parts of the economy. I contributed a lot to the project. I did research and wrote the script for the video. I also provided a lot of direction for my group. I feel like I did well on the content of the checkpoints but I could have managed my time more. The ending of the PSA was really a good part because its just really nice.

Food Safety

Posted by Kyra Stokes in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

In this video you will see me and my friends talk about food safety. We want you to learn some tips about food safety. Hopefully you go on to teach other people and help them. I filmed and added to the video an interview with my manager who you will hear when you watch the video. I think I did a good job filming and I think I could have asked better questions and I could have made better transitions. The most meaningful part was showing people our knowledge of food safety and things you should and should not do when preparing food,

In our video we talked about teen pregnancy. We reviewed a former worker at the Northern homes which is a place for young teen moms to come and feel comfortable if they are kicked out or homeless. She said she worked there because she wanted to help the teens get themselves together by helping them with job opportunities and stuff. This is a sensitive topic that a lot of young teens go through so I thought it was perfect to talk about.

Teen pregnancy

Posted by Nathan McGill in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

In our video we provided information about how teens are affected by pregnancy. We interviewed someone from the Northern Homes for Children Facility and asked them about their experience working their and how they were able to help the pregnant teens. I contributed to the project by helping find someone to interview. Something that we did well while bringing this project together was we collaborated well and came up with plenty of ideas. I feel as though that the most meaningful part of the project was interviewing someone from Northern Homes for Children and being able to get an inside look. 

Food Safety

Posted by Alex Bonner in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

In our video that me and my group main was centered around food safety. In our video we had around five parts. Consisting the skit, three PSA, and a interview. Our skit is less than a minute and it was focus contaminated and non-contaminated food. During my PSA I briefly talk about how to properly handle meat. We chose this topic because it easy for us to find a person to interview and this is a serious issue that can affect everybody in the world. Form things like chemicals and germs. This is why we need to focus on sanitation. This affects every source of roles in our society and very serious to health care. The process could range from sanitation, how our food is being produce, or even if the place where getting food is reliable. Some jobs could be range from a food specialist, food safety auditor, consumer safety inspector, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79zINtsHmuU

Prescription Drug Overdoses

Posted by Julie Baker in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

Prescription drug overdoses have is a very scary and real problem that should be getting more attention. These drug overdoses claim more than 70,000 lives a year in the U.S. alone. A large percent of these lost lives are teenagers. The amount of teenage prescription drug overdoses are incredibly high for the simple that it is so easy for teens to receive these pills from their doctors. I feel as though we here about these overdoses on the news or even celebrities overdosing as well but in today's culture drugs are still found as cool and their popularity comes from my music industry.

PSA: Teen Pregnancy

Posted by Ayanna Russell in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on

Teen Pregnancy has been at an all time high since the beginni​ng of the 20th century. Today, nearly 195,000 babies were born to teens in America alone. My group and I picked this topic to shed light on such an undereducated topic. I’ve written the script for the video that way my group would have an organized video. Things I did well was communicating and making sure I contributed my part in a timely fashion. Things my group and I could have did better was find more reliable information and put different organizations in our video that could help as well with their information attached. The most meaningful part of the PSA was realizing how having a teen mother negatively affects the life of the child, where they are more likely to be incarcerated, not recieve good education and have poor health due to the mothers current living situation.
