Human Practices

Dig out

At the very beginning of our project, we set our minds on solving real life problems in modern society. It took some time, but we finally reached a consensus. We all agreed that everyone wants to live better, especially healthier lives. However, it seems strange that practically everyone does harm to their own health. So, what is the real problem? What's the appeal in harming oneself? Or is the public simply underinformed? We had absolutely no idea which was true, so we performed a random street survey.

This survey is quite simple and has only two purposes: to find out in what aspects of health we can help to improve and to educate people the right thing to do to keep in health. And after standing on street for several days, we collected over 100 questionnaires and finally had a result.

Therefore, we set our project this year on helping obese patients, especially those who suffer in morbid obesity and cannot control their own appetite. Also, we realized that most people are ignorant of right things to do to keep in health, which pose a health risk to themselves. Thus, we planed to publicize a better lifestyle.

Publicize

By feeding information of health on our Facebook fan page, we successfully promote the right things to do to keep in health, and thus, we grow quite an amount of people concerning health issue on our fan page. But we were not satisfied through this, so, we held an event to further promote a healthful lifestyle, face to face. It was a fantastic event, and we gained a lot of feedbacks, like: 62% said they gained some knowledge through this event, over 32% said they gained a lot; and there was one saying he cannot help but going back home instantly and share the knowledge he gained today to his family and friends! We’re all glad to get those feedbacks and happy that we have done something, though it is small, to impact and educate people.
