Media

August 5, 2015

Literature on media makes for a valuable read because it helps enlighten readers on something that is reshaping our entire world. Even university level professors are not capable of fully grasping or explaining the incredible amount of influence that the media has on global culture. The media, as we all know, exploded with the revelation of the internet and digitalization. The internet increased the speed, accessibility and pervasiveness of the media by incredible measure, and because of the switch to digital media, every form of media became available through the internet and requires nothing more than a mouse click for the average internet user. The media is where humanity exchanges information and expresses itself, whether it is in the form of journalism, photojournalism, scientific research, investigative research, entertainment, music, art or performance, and whether it is streamed through a computer, laptop, tablet, phone, radio or television. The media has inspired us by bringing us information that opens our mind, and has limited us by sharing information that people do not know how to cope with. Canadians are a very media literate group of people on the whole, and should remain that way to keep their intellect sharp. To read more about popular media topics, click on the following links:

Physical Health

Having an understanding of how physical health works is one of the most important ways you can educate yourself. Physical health is a complex body of knowledge, which is the obvious reason that becoming a doctor requires impressive intellect. However, you do not need to be a doctor to grasp the basic elements of physical health. The fundamentals of physical health are available to everyone through personal research, trial and error and being a captive audience to the advice of your doctor. By absorbing everything you can about physical health, you will be able to manage your own personal physical health proficiently. Canadians are a health conscious nation of people, for the most part. Every nation has its demographic of people who do not follow good health advice. But more often than not, Canadians take on a significant amount of personal responsibility when it comes to their health. This is in part because of the socialized healthcare system which makes health awareness more uniform in Canada than in other countries. But it can also be attributed to how enlightened Canadians are, in general. Canada is a prosperous, well run nation that makes excellent health information available to its citizens and residents.

Around the Globe

World events are occurring all around us every day, in every corner of the globe. World events may include something serious and newsworthy, such as an earthquake or an outbreak of disease, or they may include something less newsworthy but still meaningful, such as a cultural celebration or important legislation. Events big and small taking place around the world are important. They are important for Canadians to know about, learn about and read about because they allow us a glimpse into another culture and give us the opportunity to look outside ourselves. Some world events require our action, while others do not. Events that a country has known are coming and has been preparing for are good for Canadians to read about because it allows them to develop a cultural understanding for people who are different from them. Events that a country was not prepared for and that have caused disaster are ones that require action on the part of Canadians, who may be able to donate to disaster relief organizations or even travel for the purpose of helping in person. Regardless, staying well read on world events is a wise choice for Canadians. To read more about popular global topics, click on the following links:
