Hello and a Merry Christmas to my lovely readers.
This is week 5 of my awesome blog which means we are halfway there, and once again, I have full control over what I get to write about. So this week I'm going to write about how interested I am in Assignment 2.
This assignment is a group one. Personally think I have an awesome group :) We have to research and write a report on what action the government should take (if any) on preventative and proactive health care in New Zealand. We also have to discuss some ethical issues that could occur because of it, and if health professionals would be accepting of any proposals.
This is interesting because I believe that Healthcare in New Zealand could be a lot better. This assignment seems like a lot of work. But I'm sure that my group and I will be able to bang it out in no time!
Till next week everyone :)

Week 4
Hello my lovely readers!
This week I have full reign on what I can write about. Yay!
I have just completed my very first university assignment, and what I found interesting about it was the biased and uninformed opinions there was about immunisation. I'm all for immunisation, as I believe it is a key factor in raising a healthier, stronger generation, in conjunction with controlling what people allow their children to eat. People will just blindly refuse to listen to their doctors advice on immunisation and refuse to allow their children to have it, simply because they believe in the worst case scenarios of vaccines causing lasting harm or in extremely rare cases death. However, in saying that, there was a lot of good information about immunisation and statistics about the different ethnic populations immunisation rates in New Zealand. This I found to be interesting because it showed positive results on the increase of Immunisation in New Zealand. This showed that, in my opinion, at least some people were smart enough to get their children immunised and protected. Yet it also shows that there is still work to be done to get the total population immunised.

Week 3!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello my readers.
Yes it is once again time for my awesome blog.
This weeks topic is summarising the debate which means i basically have to pick two of my sources that have opposing views and say why i think the Authors have done this .. then reference said sources using a APA style of referencing.
This i am finding difficult because most of the sources I've found are for Immunization and the continuation of it. but in saying that i have found one particularly interesting article on ten reasons why you should say no to vaccinations.
i found this author to be using emotive language and tried to manipulate her audience into staying away from the vaccines available.also i do not think this source was a reliable one.
whereas in my for source i found good information about immunization and found it to be easy to follow and easy to read format. it described well the immunsations available and the risks involved and the guidelines for getting children immunized. this source i found to be reliable and reader friendly.
i found my against source online at this link : http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org/2011/01/09/the-ten-reasons-to-say-no-to-vaccines/

week 2
I started to look for information on my assignment 1 topic which is the Immunisation topic. This was challenging as I haven't been the best at researching before. I started with Google scholar and I searched for immunisation rates and got some good information on how the New Zealand Health system started. I then went back to ordinary Google to search for what the New Zealand Public Health act actually said. I found some useful information and then searched for some good information on the immunisation rates in New Zealand. I discovered that Immunisation rates within the children has increased quite drastically over the years, especially within the Maori population, and has always been quite high within the Asian population in New Zealand. I think this is good information to back up my position on my assignment because it shows that even though immunisation rates are increasing, we still need to protect our most vulnerable in our population.

This is me!
Hi guys my name is Rose and I'm 19 years old and I live in Feilding.
This is my first paper for the year, as I did have a fall in February this year and gave myself a nasty concussion resulting in a moderate case of post concussion syndrome. Oops silly me! As a result I have been unable to study for the past 7 months. Nevertheless, I am determined to get decent grades. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science majoring in Psychology - I am more interested in the criminal side of psychology because I find it amazing how one little event in a life can change the course of a person's existence. I think communication in science is very useful as it gets ideas and breakthroughs into the world and helps us understand more about the world around us.
