Hi everyone -
I appreciate your patience today as we worked together to understand the tech aspects of having a class blog that allows for individual postings rather than only responses to mine.
I see that the blog already has a few "followers" - nice follow through! Although I should let you know that, again, the point of this course component is to co-create an information source, meaning that you are only technically a follower.
Please create your blog if you haven't yet done so - becoming a follower is one step; you will still create your own blog just as Morgan did. Let me know if you have questions as to how to do so, but I am hopeful our in-class practice with Morgan will help you get started. Remember that you start by hitting Create Blog in the upper right corner.
Looking back at this afternoon's discussion, please post a reply providing your take on the following. Again, this is an intro posting, and I am not asking you to provide references, just to get the ball rolling. (PLEASE, though, actually answer the questions. "I have no idea" or "That's what I'm here to learn" are NOT acceptable answers . . . .):
1. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being no problem and 10 being absolute catastrophe), how do you rate the fact that only a handful of corporations dominate production of the bulk of all the newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, books, and movies? Why?
2a) What is the most important issue presented in the first three articles you've read for this class?
2b) What IS the population health-oriented perspective on this issue (the perspective that will create the most good for the most people) - the "right" side?*
2c) What are the chances that health reform legislation will get it "right" on this issue? Why?
See you Thursday!
* And I mean "right" in a sincere sense. I'm not asking you to tell me what you believe I believe is the right side. I'm asking you to explain what you see as the right side, given that - for this class - right means starting with the population health perspective.
