Time Lapse Interlude

Unfortunately there is no blog article this week relating to Global Health. I am currently in the process of writing an exam assignment for one of my modules: Prevention and Strategies in Health Promotion. However I recently received a second battery for my camera and decided to check out the longevity of the lifespan.

As a result , what was initially supposed to be a technical test, turned into a bit of observational fun. I subsequently created a one minute time lapse of the last days I have spent working on the assignment and there were a couple of interesting discoveries:

Seven T's in Seven Months

Yesterday was No Smoking Day and I contemplated whether to write a enthusiast article stating five to ten good reasons to quit smoking. However I decided against it. Don’t get me wrong, I am a keen anti smoking advocate, and the amount of new smokers, whom a considerable amount are children or adolescents, who start each year concerns me greatly. The problem is that those type of articles are predictable, and with a few exceptions, they are stale in the health promotion world. 

As a result I thought I would entertain the blogging world with seven reasons why I am excited about the next seven months. Some may say this is equally as stale as the previously topic which was dwelled, but here’s hoping it provides a little insight into the world of an MSc Global Health student. 

'Inequality For All' Review

For the last two weeks in the Copenhagen School of Global Health MSc Global Health course, we have been exploring the topic of social inequality as part of our Strategies for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention module led by Ingelise Andersen. Therefore when a fellow peer, recommended for me to watch the 2013 documentary ‘’Inequality for all’’, it seemed quite well timed. Also it was an American recommending a documentary about America. Like many others, I have always been fascinated with the complex multi faceted nature of one of the most powerful nations in the world, so this recommendation was seen as an pre approval of the legitimacy of the film.
