Blog #4

            In my research, I have found an interesting topic at hand. The number of deaths that are caused by lack of first aid is almost equivalent to the number of deaths caused by cancer. In 2010, cancer killed 141,446 people, St. John's Ambulance estimated around 140,000 people died because of the lack of first aid. This statistic is provided by St. John Ambulance and was published so people start realizing how important first aid really is. In order for us to raise awareness we have to create a medium in which to deliver the message. Some ways we could possibly raise awareness is by creating a website, in which people are informed of the dangers of not having first aid assistance at hand. Another way we could raise awareness is by creating a first aid kit that is informed about when and what to use a certain tool for an emergency. All of these are viable options in a sense that people will still receive the knowledge of first aid. Some challenges that may appear before us, are the people's opinion to respond to this action or if we would be able to get the people's attention in the first place. All of these are factors I have to consider before creating a medium in which to spread the information. What kind of creative medium would grab the audience's attention? How should i present it? These are just some of the question's I have to keep in mind.
