HEALTH: TEXT VS VIDEO

-

 


Did you know that after every seven years we become new people? As human beings our health is important. Media today can educates us about our body. The media also have many major platforms to communicate.Health can be communicated to us using video, and written text. Both are great when learning about specific topics such as cells.

Written text are informal. In the article "Does the Human Body really replace itself after seven years",gives many facts about our body cells.One fact states that there are 50 to 75 trillion cells in the body.The text gives us references to click on. References allows the reader to learn more.Another fact from the article:all cells die except brain cells,which last until our actual death.The author gets this point across well. Audio was not necessary,nor background music to present each fact. Understanding cells nature and how important they are shows from text.

Videos are another form of communication.Video use Audio,music,and imagery to appeal to the audience.The video (Bone remodeling and modeling) have great images,which showed how two cells create our bone structure. The density of bone is modulated by osteoclast. (cell that absorbs bone) when osteoclast absorbs bone, it leaves an empty cavity. Osteoblast refills the absorbed cavities created by osteoclast.This process keeps bones strong and growing.After age 30 our bone density becomes weaker. Due to the loss of activity from osteoblast compared to osteoclast.

Video and text both can get the message across to the audience.Text gives us references,and important links to go and see other sites.Video is much more entertaining,and touching than text. Video can inspire emotions,while text seems to be straight forward,and factual.From both sources of information, I learned that it is important to take care of our bodies.We need to live healthy life styles to make our cells function properly.Osteoclast and Osteoblast are only two cell functions out of 75 trillion cells in the body.

  Students who attend public college and universities have a lower graduation rate than students who attend private college and universities. The students that graduate in four years attending public college graduate at a rate of 33.3% and 57.6% in six years. In four years 52.8% and 65.4% in six years for private schools and universities. Even though the data given is accurate according to the US Department of Education. The data still could be misleading when it comes to actual graduations rates. The reason being because statistics are limited to only full time and first time students. The data does not include transfer students or part time students which is very important in order to get a better and more accurate understanding of why public college and private college graduation rates differ. According to  https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/  this gives information that students who transfer graduate at about the same rate as students who attended all four years which is 58.9%. W

  Thug life Thomas Edison Seeing in the dark can be very exciting! imagine you are at the fair.You see the carnival lights gleaming with colors red,blue.yellow,and purple.It brought so much joy and fun to the atmosphere, so i could understand that many years ago in the 1800s, people wanted to see their surrounding light up in the night.Without Thomas Edison forming a team of scientist to tackle the challenge of perfecting the lightbulb, it probably would have been many years before humans could see in the dark.This is why i believe that Thomas Edison should have continued to receive credit for inventing the light bulb.   Although he was not the first man to have created the idea of the light bulb. There were many other creations from other scientist,but their light bulbs could not seem to burn for long periods of time.Thomas Edison did fight to accomplish a task at which no one had ever accomplished.That task was to light up Menlo park,New Jersey, and New York City..He brought the drea

George Edwin Taylor Its that time of the year!!  Its finally election time.Which means get ready to vote for who you think is best to take charge of this nation. In today's world we have freedom to vote and nominate kamala Harris as the first African American woman vice president with an open mind and liberated spirit. The tables were much more tuned back in 1904 when an African American man named George Edwin Taylor took a shot at running for president on a third-party-ticket.George Taylor comes from an educated back ground and worked as a professional journalist for colored people before getting into politics.He realised that colored peoples interest were left out in the construction era early 1900s.George wanted to run for president to represent his people along with all people to come together and live with equal rights.His campaign was joked about and left off the ballot in most states. He was not elected for president but after elections he still proved that black men are abl
