Objective/Topic
As noted in this week’s reading (see especially p. 49), those who study sociology are uniquely equipped to recognize and inform the public about how there’s more to health and illness than just the biomedical factors. That’s something we’ll consider throughout the quarter (including in the context of your project). There’s a great deal of information on social media that seeks to promote social change around health and illness in some way. This board is an opportunity to consider and discuss the effectiveness of how this information is presented.
Instructions
Find a piece of social media content that has something to do with promoting change around health- and/or illness-related issues (whether it be at the level of individual behavior change, community-based interventions/improvements, or structural/societal-level change).
This content can be in any format (text, infographic, image with captions, video, etc.) and can be from any social media platform where posts/feeds are widely available to the public (TikTok, Instagram, X [Twitter], YouTube, etc.). Then please include the following in your post to our discussion board:
A link to the piece of social media content you’ve chosen (or you can also use the Embed toolLinks to an external site. here in Canvas)
A brief description of who created or posted the content (Are they a medical professional or organization? Government? Social scientist? Activist? Concerned citizen? Celeb/influencer? etc.)
At least one way in which you think the content is valuable and/or effective in communicating info about creating health-/illness-related change.
At least one suggestion of something that might be added or changed to make the content even more effective.
