Ways of Generating More Readership or "buzz"

 When thinking about the best way of generating readership or buzz it is important to think of what constitutes a "good" website or blog. Through some researching around, I found out that there are a few aspects or guidelines that can help spread information better and get people talking. Aspects such as our purpose, our users, and what the cause means to our users. A great deal of the time, I find that with certain products whether it be tangible like a laptop or more abstract like a blog, it is important to know who our audience is. From that, we then ask within this audience what is the best way to achieve a response. In creating effective message design it must be personable, resonating, and memorable. By personable, I mean achieving a "friendly" yet professional relationship where they feel acknowledged but not talked down to. By resonating, I want our message to relate to the audience on an emotional level, in such a way that it "touches" them so they elicit a response. Finally, a memorable message is created from the previous two aspects. It is through creating an emotional and relatable message that will create a good response.

 In regard to generating "buzz", I argue that outsourcing to social media giants potentially even more grassroots organizations will help our cause greatly. By them sharing our information and we sharing theirs, it creates this great symbiotic relationship. This will also allow us to gain more readership because people always go to the social media giants first before anything in general. Overall, it is always about knowing who our audience is, the environment, and how to best reach them. It involves having a good purpose, aesthetics, and a solid foundation.

Understanding Homelessness

-

  Source (American Addiction Centers)      Homelessness has a myriad of different reasons it can happen. The similarity between all scenarios in which a person is experiencing homelessness is that each person is human. A popular belief is that homelessness is a choice. People believe there is a set amount of circumstances that cause homelessness and that it is a choice not to fight to get out of those problems. The problems can range from mental health issues to drug addiction. There is no one size fits all, and it is not a choice.  Over the last few weeks, I have learned that there are many factors that can lead to homelessness. One big one that focuses on our class is how affordable housing, or the lack thereof, is a significant contributor to people not getting back on their feet. If you want to learn more about that subject and if affordable housing can help, click here.   This lack of affordable housing is a big roadblock for those trying to ove...

Air pollution caused by wildfires may increase risk of dementia

  There are already more than 57 million dementia sufferers in the world, and by 2050, that figure is predicted to rise to 153 million. It is estimated that risk factors like exposure to air pollution account for up to 40% of these instances. Even when annual exposure was lower than the current EPA annual threshold of 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air (g/m3), the researchers discovered continuous evidence of a relationship between PM2.5 and dementia. The researchers discovered a 17% increase in risk for dementia for every 2 g/m3 increase in average yearly exposure to PM2.5, specifically among the studies using active case ascertainment. Despite the fact that the data was more sparse, they also discovered evidence supporting links between dementia and nitrogen oxide (5% increase in risk for every 10 g/m3 increase in yearly exposure) and nitrogen dioxide (2% increase in risk for every 10 g/m3 increase in annual exposure). According to a recent University of Michigan study, wildfi...
