Week 3: Youtube Video on Herpes

The video that I chose to talk about was found on youtube and entitled Dark Knight PSA: Herpes. In the video, Batman with the company of the Joker explain some simple yet important aspects of herpes. Although this video is mainly meant to just be funny, there is some true information in it. One important thing that Batman explains is that even though you have herpes and exhibit no symptoms, you can still pass it to your partner. Batman also suggests to get tested, get tested often, and be honest with those that you love when it comes to herpes. This video does not use fear and it does not give any false information, mostly likely because it is a very short video. The video is playing off on the new found popularity in Batman and the Joker and is likely targeting young adults who frequent the internet. This is important since young adults are a major risk group for this disease. In some ways I would say that it is an effective way to reach the target audience since these characters are very popular with this age group. The media plays a very important role in prevention of STDs. It is an easy way to get messages to large masses of people in a short amount of time. Information is one of the most powerful things in our lives, and informing people of the risks of diseases like this is something that the media can do effectively.

  1. My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work.
