Reflection: Weeks 11 & 12
Hey again everybody.
So as the weeks fly by, the end of the semester is in sight. But thankfully, the classes are still interesting (Except for Human Physiology). Week 11 started with a movie titled Unnatural Causes. Due to me being sick, I only got to see the first half, but from what I saw, it was an eye opening movie. It showed how people with more money have better health than people who don't have as much money. But thinking about it, yah, it makes sense. If you have money, you have more resources at the palm of your hand, i.e. the ability to go to the doctor, or go to the drug store and get medicine.
Week 12 began with an eye opener on Healthy People 2010. We did some research and looked into some important topics. Mine had to do with Mental Health and Mental Disorders. Once we found which topic we wanted to research, we looked at the Goals of the program, objectives, what kind of progress they are making, and what challenges may lie ahead. Then we had to look into what type of Bills are attempting to get passed in our subject. I unfortunately didn't find any that we closely related to my subject in Mental Health. And then good ol' Shar ran the class on Thursday, and she did a wonderful job!

ReplyDeleteGood overview of the weeks. Hopefully you're feeling better and getting over your sickness. Shar did do a great job :) That's too bad you couldn't find anything you were really interested in for the advocacy project, but hope you find some great information on what you did choose!
Hey Steve, good ol' Shar here...
ReplyDeleteHaha just thought you did a good job on this reflection, I like how you added in the side note about Physiology;) (Sorry I know it sucks but soon it will all be over.) Good luck with your Advocacy project!
Haha good post Steve, you are very good at getting all of the events of the past 2 weeks in a thorough but brief manner!
ReplyDeleteWhat? You don;t think Human Phys isn't interesting?
I think your topic will be very interesting! Good job Steve!

Steve- It took me quite awhile to find a bill that related to the topic I picked as well. Maybe you should actually send your letter to a representative to see if they can propose a bill for that issue considering that there doesn't seem to be one!! Just a thought!:) Good review!
