I observed an educational health presentation on alcohol, presented by a group of future health education students at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. There were three presenters, Brook, Ian and Kelsey. At the beginning of the presentation the presenters asked everyone in the audience to come up with three words that came to their mind when they thought of alcohol, then the audience said their favorite word that came to mind and the presenters made a word cloud. Brook, Ian, and Kelsey then discussed how the word cloud represented the way people think of alcohol, which was mostly in a positive fun party hard kind of way. The group presenting used a powerpoint and really got the audience involved by asking questions and engaging the audience

    When I saw the Alcoholics Anonymous assignment on our syllabus earlier this semester I thought, "Oh my god, I have to go to some stupid AA meeting." In the weeks prior to attending the meeting, I was very nervous about attending it because I did not know what to expect. Some of the questions going through my mind were: "Was everyone expected to talk at the meeting?" and "Was I going to be criticized as the outsider wanting to know what AA was all about?" Those were my two main concerns.

    Jody was born biologically with male genitals and he was brought up as a boy. Unlike his more gender-typical older brother, Jody’s childhood behavior was considered “sissy”. Jody genetically preferred the company of girls compared to boys during childhood. Jody considered herself a bisexual male until the age of 19. At 19 years of age, she became involved with a man, and her identity would be transgender, meaning that Jody was unhappy with her gender of birth and seeks a change from male to female. It would seem that there was some late-onset dissatisfaction, and late-onset is linked to attraction to women; in comparison to early childhood-onset, which are attracted to men. Jody identified herself as bisexual. The relationship with the man ended; nevertheless, Jody’s desire to become a woman consumed her, and Jody feels that’s he was born in the

  • Character Analysis: The Shining

    1442 Words  | 3 Pages

    I very much enjoyed creating this multi-genre research project because it gave me a chance to broaden my horizon on the facts of alcoholism. Something I found most surprising during my research was that more than 10 percent of children in the United States live with a parent who has alcohol related problems. This is just one of several statistics I found very shocking. I also enjoyed customizing each of my creative elements. At first I was concerned about writing my own poem, because I usually have a hard time doing this, but after incorporating my sources within it, I had no problem. My favorite element was creating my own image for the visual element portion of the project. I not only used my creative skills to structure my image but I also learned how to use photoshop for the first time. This element was very beneficial for me. When completing my expository piece, I found using multiple sources was very useful. Originally I was trying to keep my sources to only five but I eventually discovered the more the merrier. When finding my sources, I made sure they were all accurate and legitimate. I did this by making sure none of them consisted of blogs/wiki/about.com. Overall, after comparing textual evidence from The Shining with research from online sources, I have concluded that alcoholism can have tremendous effects on the people around the

    I have also learned about different types of audiences and speeches including persuasive, informative, entertaining and delivering special occasion speeches. It came to my attention that whenever I was making these presentations or speeches, I needed to do so with confidence, consistence and practice before the actual presentation and completely eliminate the element of panic. It was also clear that capturing the attention of the audience and engaging them in the whole process, it was necessary to have a very strong introduction and also try and use visuals to deliver the message. It was therefore vital to respect each person’s diversity and cultural values (Lucas, 2011).

Getting drunk and even blacking out can lead to many problems. When alcohol is consumed in unhealthy amounts, it can lead to not only short-term effects, but long-term ones as well.

  • Reflection on the Use and Abuse of Alcohol

    Most people do not realize that alcohol is a drug that claims the lives of youth in college campuses across the world. In my case, it took the encounter with the ORL staff at UCLA for me to come to understanding that I am putting myself and those around me in danger through my risky drinking habits. With hours of self-reflection and the help of a cosmopolitan article called The Deadly Drinking Mistakes Smart Girls Make, I have found that there are several risks associated with alcohol that can put me at a quarrel with death. Even so, drinking does not always need to be deadly, and by keeping in mind the well-being of my fellow bruins and the skills mentioned in the article, I can find a balance between drinking for fun and drinking till death.
