Reflecting on "communication" & fried eggs.

I am really excited about this course because it tackles an aspect of public health that everyone can relate to. The definitions exercise stumped me for a bit and I loved it for that reason. So often we go about using terms that seem simple enough to understand but when it comes to defining them the words become so much more complex. The video tied in so well with diseminating what communication is and all the forms it can take. Watching some of the campaigns reminded me of my youth, and made me reflect on the bigger question-did they actually influence my health behavior in the long run? Or did they just confuse me- a la the fried egg representing a brain on drugs. -see you all next week.
