KEY INFO:

It tells you to take a break every now and then block people who you don’t think are gonna be helpful to you. It also tells you to be yourself and be nice to other people so other people will be nice to you too.

IT'S easy to get misled by the things that we see online. At the same time, it's also easy to mislead people. Without keeping our reality in check, social media can easily become a vicious cycle of pretending we live the same lives that we see other people lead online, and having our followers attempt to do the same.

Posts about travels, food, relationships, achievements, and more may seem happy, but can still impact viewers or the original source negatively. Being caught in this spiral can negatively impact our mental health.

Here are tips to help you stay afloat.
1. Take a break.
Disconnect with the outside world and reconnect with your inner thoughts for at least 1-2 days and see the difference in your overall mood.
2. Mute and unfollow.
Social media gives us an option to mute and unfollow anonymously. If certain people and content start to make you question your worth, hit the mute or unfollow button. Filter the content that you absorb.
3. Change your mindset
The right mindset is not conditioning yourself to do better than everyone, it's being happy even if you're at the bottom end of the line. It's not about what you have, but how satisfied you are with what God blessed you with.
4. Be nice to people.
How you treat people is a reflection of your self-esteem. Learning to treat everyone fairly despite differences in appearance et cetera will help you develop self-assurance.
5. You don't have to look good.
You don't have to look good - or as good as those that you see online. Just be your best self.
6. Do not compete.
A flower does not sit next to a flower and question its beauty. It just blooms.
7. Focus on your career, however humble.
Don't compare your skills with others. There will always be greater and lesser persons than you.

Technology has changed the landscape of our lives. People right now have never been more connected. If put in the right perspective, our generation can be the most empowered. And taking care of our mental health can empower not just the present but also future generations.

One way to take care of our mental health is to change the way you see life especially those pictured online. So if you see someone who seems to be doing better than you, regardless whether it's real or not, you have two choices. You can either push yourself to change and improve things, or stay happy with exactly the way things are. Just because other people have what you don't doesn't mean you have less. You just lead different lives, and you are just as important as everyone else.

How China vanquished malaria-and what African countries can learn from the experience (RESEARCHED BY: JOHN RUSSEL SALDUA)

AUTHOR: HARVARD T.H CHAN
DATE: December 16, 2020
KEY INFO:
China planned to eliminate the cases of malaria within a decade and is now expected to be soon a malaria free country certified by World Health Organization (WHO).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
December 16, 2020 - In 2010, China announced one of its most ambitious undertakings in public health: It planned to eliminate indigenous cases of malaria within a decade. The disease had a long and lethal history in the country-it's estimated that, in 1940, China had as many as 30 million cases of malaria resulting in 300,000 deaths-and the parasite that causes it remained widespread in the early 2000s.

But by leveraging technology, implementing robust surveillance strategies, and firmly integrating the malaria control program into the country's health system, China made quick work of one of the most persistent diseases on Earth. In 2016, the country recorded only three cases of indigenous malaria. In the years since, there hasn't been a single documented case of malaria that originated within its borders. China is expected to soon be certified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as malaria-free.

It's a remarkable success story, and may hold valuable lessons for countries still struggling under the burden of this ancient killer.

On December 7 and 8, 2020, Harvard University, China's National Institute for Parasitic Diseases (NIPD), the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC), and WHO hosted a digital symposium titled, " From 30 Million to Zero Malaria Cases in China: Lessons Learned for Malaria-Eliminating Countries in Africa."

Spanning time zones, borders, languages, and expertise, the event enabled public health officials and scientists in African nations with high burdens of malaria to hear about the challenges their Chinese counterparts encountered when implementing malaria control programs and to share their own research and experiences. The event also included presentations from several Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers, who discussed pertinent research, and obstacles to malaria control in low-resource settings.

During opening remarks, Mark Elliott, vice provost for international affairs at Harvard University, noted that the symposium shows the power of collaboration across international borders and was a timely reminder that the biggest challenges in global health "can only be solved together."

The first day of the event included discussions of global malaria eradication, the role of genetic epidemiology in malaria control programs, and the nuts and bolts of China's "1-3-7" strategy, which sets strict timelines for diagnosing, reporting, and tracking new malaria cases. During one session, Wafaie Fawzi, Richard Saltonstall Professor of Population Sciences at Harvard Chan School, noted that elements of China's malaria program could provide a model for fighting other infectious diseases.

The second day of the event included remarks from Harvard Chan School Dean Michelle Williams, who introduced a presentation by Winnie Yip, professor of the practice of global health policy and economics. Yip discussed the importance of strong health systems for controlling malaria. Without a functioning health system, she said, the best diagnostics and the best medicines in the world cannot reach the people who need them most.

Professor Junhu Chen of China's NIPID and CDC led a presentation on genetic approaches to malaria surveillance and control in which he highlighted how these tools are critical to understanding and tracking the threat of drug-resistant parasites. In a separate presentation, Ning Xiao of China's NIPD and CDC discussed the opportunities and challenges of genetic surveillance in Africa and emphasized the importance of collaboration and cooperation between China and African nations.

During the symposium, Dyann Wirth, Richard Pearson Strong Professor of Infectious Diseases, led several Q&As with presenters, including one with Pedro Alonso, director of WHO's global malaria program. Alonso pointed out that, globally, 1.5 billion cases of malaria have been averted since 2000 as well as 7.6 million malaria-related deaths. Still, he said, more than 400,000 people died of malaria last year.

"There's clearly cause for optimism," Wirth said. "But it's also clear that there are many challenges ahead."

so·cial me·di·a (noun) - websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

It's something everyone, everyday concedes to. Social media has become societies norm for the majority of humans on this planet. Originally created to bring people together, inform the public of events, and share content between friends and family. Social media has become its own entity.

Social media platforms are popping up everywhere. According to SocialMediaToday.com, the average person spends 135 minutes on a platform every single day. What's crazy is that it's been only 20 years since the first social website was created. It was 1844 when a Washington man named Samuel Morse began the first signs of social media creation when he composed a telegraph in Washington, DC and sent it to Baltimore. The message read, "What Have God Wrought?"

The history of what we know as social media sites first began in 1997. From 97 to 2001 a platform called Six Degrees had a peak of about 1 million members. This channel allowed members to create profiles, add each other as friends, and communicate. From this initial software, the world-wind of social media began. The early 2000's brought us platforms like Friendster, MSN Messenger, Myspace, Facebook, and Gmail - just to name a few.

According to PracticalEcommerce.com, as of September 2017, there are 105 leading social networks worldwide. If you put that into perspective, that is billions of people logging on to a social platform every single day.

Mainstream media

For younger people today, social status seems to be their everything. The youth of today live for the number of likes they get on an Instagram photo or how high their Snapchat streak is. Even our major news outlets consistently report on how many followers someone like Kim Kardashian has. Celebrities and influencers are always trying to "break the internet" with provocative photos or posts. But what needs to be focused on more is how this new age of digital communication affects the lives of not only young people but all people.

The pressure to have the perfect body or face follows you everywhere. More specifically, targeted Google and Facebook/Instagram ads are following us everywhere. Let's say a young girl visits a website that sells beauty products and all over the website are pictures of "perfect" women and models. If she decides not to purchase an item and leaves the website, this is where the social marketing kicks in. Ads will start to re-market to her. She will begin seeing the ads and imagery for that site or product everywhere on social media.

The psych behind social media

If we take a step back and look at this process from a psychological standpoint, the process is called the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (pronounced badder mainhoff), or otherwise known as frequency illusion or recency illusion. This phenomenon concept means, that if you see something or hear people talking about it over and over, eventually you want it. You will also start noticing it more and become more aware of the product.

Now back to the re-marketing. It is the job of the marketing team for the company to deliver the ad to you as much as possible until you finally take the plunge and purchase it. If a young person is seeing these images constantly, their brain will eventually tell them that is perfection. This is how you need to look. As you can see, this could have a significant impact on someone's mental health.

The media has a well-known history of playing a role in the development of body image issues. Research studies from the 1980s and 1990s have proven that the plummeting weight of models, actresses, and beauty pageant contestants between the 1950s and 1990s contributed to the unrealistic body image we know of today. Even though today in 2018 we have improved somewhat, with educating our population about body image and the media, it's still a significant problem.

Power

Social media today has so much power. It can be severely dangerous for young malleable minds. Especially those with low self-esteem and body image issues. It will only continue to get worse if we do not educate our children from a young age.

The pressure to be perfect should not exist. Explain to your children that they can be anything they want. Encourage them on the path to changing the world for the better. Monitor how much time your child spends on the internet. In the latest software update for Apple devices, they created a feature called, "Screen Time." This tool helps consumers better understand how long they spend on their devices. It also allows users to set timers for the amount of time. Apple is currently paving the way for tech and health for our population.

Social media was created to bring people together. Not tear them apart. We want it to be a safe place for every single human on this earth.
