During the talk, though Miss Senthil may speak vividly, I find her monotonous style irritating and hard to focus on. Nevertheless, the topic is very current, and I totally agree with her. Misinformation have had its peak especially during our age where technology is rampant. In addition, our country is suffering from wide spread of false information especially within the government. Furthermore, to the topic discussed, health literacy is also a thing here in the country that hasn't gotten focused on. Like with the misinformation, many people fell for Facebook posts that has gotten a lot of engagement. In conclusion, the importance of being knowledgeable about health literacy and proper dissemination of real information should be given an extra focus especially in our era when a push for folly is evident but are blindly seen by the masses.

Ms. Harini Senthil talked about the treatment plan to improving the health literacy of people. I honestly found this TEDxYOUTH video highly informative and insightful, since she is also coming from the same age group. Her knowledge is very much wide being able to speak about health information in front of a lot of people. I felt the urge to actually contribute to the treatment plan in order to solve the low health literacy that we are experiencing around the world. Especially now that we are still experiencing the effects of COVID-19 pandemic, it often feels like we are surrounded by a lot of health-related information. However, it is also evident that there a lot of false health rumors spreading on social media. Because of that, health literacy hit rock bottom. Health literacy is defined as the ability to find, understand, and use information and services related to healthcare, however only 12% of adults in US have good health literacy. Consequences of low health literacy are widespread, so it is necessary to find solution in this overlooked issue. Firstly, most people do not know about the protections offered by their health insurance company, and because of that, they will not be able to make informed decisions about health care cost. Approximately 25% of people in the US do not seek medical care because they do not know if their health insurance can cover it. Secondly, health literacy is also the ability to sort out false information about health. The combination of low health literacy and the widespread of false health information makes it harder to identify reliable public health sources. To solve this, we need to avoid sharing information to social media if we find it suspicious. Lastly, language and cultural barriers are preventing patients to make health decisions properly. They were not able to comprehend the information given to them, contributing to low health literacy. So how do we really solve the issue? What would be the treatment plan to improve health literacy? First, we need to increase knowledge about health insurance terms, and do not hesitate to ask questions about what you do not understand. Second, avoid sharing misinformation on social media to make it easier to identify accurate health information sources. Last, we need to comprehend accurate health information in. This is the treatment plan to improve health literacy.

The discussion from Ms. Senthil is something that have grown on me as it discusses about the healthcare literacy and its treatment plan, which matters especially for me as someone from the healthcare industry. I find that discussing this is integral not only for people like myself, but also to be digested by every individual as everyone is affected by health at the end of the day.

One of the notable factors that I recognized from the talk of Ms. Senthil is that she was unable to sustain the interest of her viewers and listeners into her talk as she was not able to fully immense her audience into the situation and her topic. However, the discussion on the current situation on health literacy is alarming as we are also affected by the same problem where people can be easily lured into disinformation which can affect an effective health teaching and nurse-patient relationship. A low percentage of citizens that are literate in terms of health-related concerns gives rise to greater problems of having congested emergency rooms, ineffective public health programs, and increase in the cases of communicable diseases due to hoax and disinformation about its severity and transmission. The talk of Ms. Senthil provided a reality check to the healthcare professionals to be facilitate a more conducive health teaching to their patients, build a stronger health literacy programs, and strengthen the campaign against disinformation to raise the discussion on health and wellness.

Ms. Senthil tackled about health literacy and the heightening crisis regarding misinformation that involves clinical settings specially during the COVID pandemic. A lot of people believed instantly what they tend to see, watch and hear in the internet without conducting a research or what they called fact check. It is understandable that they are worried about their health and needs to act fast but anything that is not tested or verified with research can lead to danger. In conclusion, I agree to MS. Senthil that there should be an implemented action to educate, protect and promote everyone's health.

Ms. Senthil’s way of speaking is monotonous and made me feel annoyed. Her delivery is excellent but the way she delivers lacks the ‘vibe’ that will persuade you to listen to her, so it's just downright boring and uninteresting.  Despite of, she talks about the importance of improving health literacy as misinformation is becoming apparent nowadays that might lead to bad practices. The plague of misinformation is something that needs to be shut down as information is the key to knowledge.

I wholeheartedly concur with what Ms. Senthil had to say in the TedXYouth video, and I find the topic to be very intriguing because I intend to work in the field of mental health advocacy in the future. In point of fact, the epidemic has worsened existing gaps in healthcare, and many individuals are ignorant of the medical information that informs the decisions they make regarding their healthcare. Unfortunately, there are some people who do not acknowledge the significance of maintaining good mental health. As a result, this topic is frequently neglected and disregarded because not everyone is aware of its significance. Even worse, there are some people who believe that mental health disorders are not real and are only in the minds of those who have them. After viewing the film, I felt even more inspired to raise awareness about the significance of maintaining good mental health, starting with those in my immediate circle of family and friends and then, with any luck, moving on to a more widespread audience.

Judging from the way Ms. Senthil communicate with the audience like me in the video, she’s quite slow and monotonous in speaking for me. I would just suggest that since the video was also made for our generation where young-adults like us will be listening, I think it would be better if it would be livelier for it will catch the interest of the listeners. I also like that Ms. Senthil's material is trustworthy and that she even acknowledged the CDC's definition of health literacy, which is the capacity to locate, comprehend, and make use of healthcare-related information and services. The prevalence of false information during a pandemic is one of the topics she addressed in her TED Talk. Additionally, I've learned that having the appropriate knowledge is one of the essential elements in providing top-notch medical care.

Ms. Senthil's Ted talk felt extremely boring to watch. She spoke as if she was just reading from a screen/powerpoint presentation. The talk, however, tackled important issues in healthcare nowadays. Being ignorant and misinformed of your own health is could result to worse health conditions than we think they do. People should be proactive about their own wellbeing in order to live their life fully and make most of everything.

Ms. Senthil lingered on issues of health literacy and the spread of false information in the medical community, particularly at this time of year when pandemics are prevalent. People did, in fact, rely heavily on the information they find online and did not even bother to confirm the accuracy of the information they take in. However, because it relates to health, it is becoming riskier because it may result in harm. I agree with the speaker that action needs to be taken to shed light on the situation and raise awareness of it in order to protect everyone's health as well as to inform the general public.

# data[].attributes.body
As a future nurse, hearing Ms. Senthil's talk made me feel cautious of how I would be speaking to my clients regarding their plan of care. The fact that not even a quarter of the population posses health literacy is very alarming. It somewhat became a reminder to me and to others as well that there is still a great need to improve the healthcare system and how we disseminate health information. Controlling and debunking misinformation about health should be one of our priorities as well, especially now that the masses are easily swayed by information circulating online. Such misinformation, if not corrected, can pose threats to the health of the people.

# data[].attributes.body
It comes as no surprise that just a small percentage of the population is health-literate. People are dismissing the healthcare system as a result of the surge of misinformation on social media sites. As stated in the video, individuals with poor socioeconomic status are among those who are affected since they merely want to employ the simplest method to alleviate their health concerns. This kind of concern is especially prevalent in the Philippines, where Filipinos follow what they see on social media platforms in the hopes of finding a fast treatment or home remedy. Trolls that disseminate misinformation should be stopped and prevented. The government should direct people to credible information by also using social media platforms, since that is the most popular way for people to acquire information, or through medical missions, particularly to remote areas.

Ms. Senthil's talk, titled "The Treatment Plan to Improving Health Literacy," contained important information not just for individuals in the United States but for people all around the globe needed to hear; I wished only that she had employed more effective means of persuasion to keep her audience's attention throughout the entire talk. She emphasized the truth that we must face, and I, as a nursing student, agree with her completely on every point. It's true that patients' choices about their health are often made for them because of a lack of health literacy on everyone involved. As a result, it is of the utmost importance to us as nurses that we provide our patients with all the information they need to make informed decisions about their care, that we provide them with a comprehensive range of treatment options and allow them complete autonomy, and that they feel comfortable enough to ask us questions at any time, so we must establish rapport.

The speaker's monotone delivery made the discussion seem dull to me, as it did to my other fellow blockmates. Despite this, Ms. Senthil was still able to convey her knowledge on health literacy and the growing problem of false information affecting the health industry, particularly during prevailing pandemic season. People did, in fact, rely significantly on the information they get online and did not even attempt to confirm the accuracy of the material they take in. However, because it relates to health, it is getting riskier because it may result in harm.

An individual's capacity to comprehend, evaluate, and apply health information to make well-informed decisions about their health and well-being should be improved through a variety of tactics and treatments. Overall, a treatment strategy to increase health literacy should be individualized to the patient's requirements and objectives and should incorporate education, support, and self-management techniques.  I concur with the speaker that action has to be taken to throw light on the situation and raise awareness of it in order to preserve everyone's health as well as to inform the general public.

Harini Senthil's "The Treatment Plan to Improving Health Literacy" presents statistical evidence for the need to prioritize healthcare literacy, but the delivery is not convincing enough to effectively persuade the audience. Senthil mentions that only 12% of adults in the US have good health literacy, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, which has significant consequences for the healthcare system. During the COVID-19 pandemic, fake news about cures has circulated, and many people believe it. To address the problem, a treatment plan is needed to improve communication between patients and medical professionals, which can reduce misinformation and improve health literacy. However, the video lacks energy and visual aids, and the speaker could be more engaging.

# data[].attributes.body
Improving health literacy involves a combination of strategies and interventions that aim to improve an individual's ability to understand, interpret, and use health information to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Poor health literacy can lead to misunderstandings about health information and can have negative consequences on an individual's health outcomes. Overall, a treatment plan to improve health literacy should be tailored to the specific needs and goals of the individual and should involve a combination of education, support, and self-management strategies.

Ms. Senthil has good enunciation skills, however, she lacks on the delivery as I could picture the audience getting uninterested because of her soft voice. Despite that, the talk tackles an important topic that focuses on improving health literacy as misinformation are becoming more common because of social media. Misinformation leads to nothing good, especially when the health of the person becomes involved; this could lead to worse problems, additional health issues, and even death. It is important to be informed and be given the knowledge to assess which resources are valid, and the rising amount of people who are becoming victims of misinformation proves that this is a topic that isn't given the priority that it should have.

Harini Senthil’s "The Treatment Plan to Improving Health Literacy" provides statistical evidence as to why healthcare literacy needs to be prioritized, but the way she delivers it isn’t convincing enough to the masses that she’s trying to persuade. Senthil mentioned that only 12% of adults in the US have good health literacy, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. This is an alarming rate because it has huge consequences for our healthcare on a much larger scale. Just for this COVID-19 pandemic, fake news about a "cure" or whatever has been going around without any medical evidence that it is effective, and still a lot of people believed it. She ought to find a solution to the problem, by diagnosing it, examine its effects, and come up with a treatment plan. But the video lacks energy, as does the speaker. There’s no use of visual aids to help in communicating the message better. The treatment that we need to improve health literacy is good communication. If patients and medical professionals have good communication, this can lessen misinformation, thus improving health literacy.

I always enjoy watching TED talks so I was quite excited when I knew I was going to watch one. I find the speaker, Ms. Senthil quite nervous and stiff during the whole talk, However, she spoke with such clarity and slowly so that I can truly understand what she was saying. The whole talk made me also quite sad because what she spoke of was true, the percentage of people who have good health literacy is low and especially during the pandemic, a lot of people have seen COVID-19 misinformation that spreads the illiteracy even more. I also feel bad because I know that this has a health-related long term consequences, especially with the minority. Change always start with oneself that's why I also appreciate the speaker giving solutions to the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with Ms. Senthil's statement in the TedXYouth video, and the subject is highly interesting to me because I, for one, hope to be a mental health champion. Indeed, the pandemic has exacerbated healthcare disparities, and many people are unaware of the medical knowledge underlying their healthcare decisions. Unfortunately, not everyone recognizes the importance of mental health, and it is frequently ignored and overlooked since not everyone is aware of it, or worse, some individuals feel that mental health disorders are not real and are only in people's minds. After watching the video, I became even more motivated to spread the word about the importance of mental health, beginning with my family and friends and then hopefully expanding to a bigger audience.

# data[].attributes.body
It is terrifying to know that only few people took the time to understand facts relating to their healthcare. It just shows how herd mentality can affect the healthcare of people; they tend to believe what other people suggest them even if it is not credible or backed up by science. Most of them rely on trends instead of consulting medical professionals on what to do to cure their ailments.

# data[].attributes.body
I will agree with my blockmates if they say that Ms. Senthil’s speaking style may appear uninteresting for most of the viewers, because of her inability to put a stress on the things that need emphasis. However, towards the end of the video, the message she imparted really caught my attention. Before finishing her talk, Ms. Senthil advised the audience not to be afraid to ask because one’s health may be put at stake. This caught my attention because most Filipinos, especially the youth, often choose not to seek consultation from professionals because of various reasons such as inconvenience and fear of judgment. Moreover, as a third world country where most of its citizens struggle financially, many of the masses also choose to disregard their health because getting sick is in the least of their priorities. However, what Filipinos tend to forget is that ignoring one’s health for a long period of time makes things more costly and troublesome which is why paying attention to one’s health is very important. Another thing that caught my attention is Ms. Senthil’s reminder to stop spreading false information about health so that it does not outweigh factual ones. This is another common scenario in the Philippines where majority of us, especially the boomers, tend to easily believe what they see on the internet without fact checking it, thus sometimes making this worse.

Based on the TedxYouth video given, I would first like to tackle on Ms. Senthil's speaking style. It's monotonous, too slow, and can get old very fast. But I can respect the fact she is speaking her mind on a stage in front of a crowd; nevertheless, speaking to hundreds of people at such a young age can be nerve wracking so I don't blame her for speaking this way. Anyway, the information Ms. Senthil has provided are reliable, she even cited the CDC's definition of health literacy, which is defined as the ability to find, understand, and use information and services related to healthcare. One of the information that she has tackled in her TED Talk is the abundance of misinformation during a pandemic, one of the key components in delivering quality healthcare is having the right information.

# data[].attributes.body
The discussion of the improvement of health literacy is extensive. Ms. Harini Senthil speaks slowly but clearly so that everyone in the room may understand her. Even if she was somewhat boring, she nonetheless gave priority to the crucial details. She gave a timely presentation that was backed up by statistics. She discussed the concept of health literacy and used the COVID-19 as an illustration of how false information is frequently disseminated. She underlined that in order to deliver high-quality healthcare, it is crucial to have knowledge of trustworthy resources and the ability to tell what is credible from what is not. We frequently look to the internet for sound guidance when it comes to taking care of ourselves. However, not every information is accurate, so we must use caution. Healthcare professionals are responsible for attending to patients and clearly explaining the procedure to them. Not all patients and people can comprehend what medical professionals say, particularly when they use medical jargon. Because of this, it is the nurses and other healthcare professionals' responsibility to clarify their terminology.

# data[].attributes.body
Ms. Senthil dwelled about health literacy and the rising issue of misinformation that touches the health field, especially during this pandemic season. People had indeed relied heavily on what they see on the internet and did not even bother to fact check what information they consume. But since it involves health, it is becoming dangerous as it can lead to danger. I agree with the speaker that something should be done to shed light and bring more awareness to this, not only to educate the mass, but also to protect everyone’s health.

# data[].attributes.body
Ms. Senthil’s talks about the treatment plan to improve health literacy. She included in her speech the root cause of low health literacy, its detrimental effects, and some helpful solutions to educate ourselves about healthcare and to the current issue by developing strategies to raise everyone's level of health literacy. I learnt something about the topic and thought it to be interesting, but her monotone delivery style made it uninteresting and boring. And when listening to talks like that, speaking in monotone is one of the major causes of audience boredom. Even the most inspiring subject can become inane due to it. Additionally, it seems as though she simply memorized her speech without really digesting it. But I suppose what matters is that her speech taught me something new.

# data[].attributes.body
I find Ms. Senthil's speaking style monotonous and utterly irritating. She also lacks credibility because she speaks too slowly. I can attest, however, that the information she provides in this video is quite insightful. Only 12% of adults are ignorant and misinformed about their own health, which is extremely detrimental to their physical and financial health because hospitalization is so costly. In addition, I was able to identify the need for a solution to the current problem by developing strategies to improve the health literacy of all individuals.

Regarding Ms. Senthil's speaking style, I find it monotonous and downright infuriating. She also sounds unconvincing as she speaks too slowly. On the other hand,  I can attest that the information she shares in this video is quite insightful. I was able to get a sense of how ignorant or misinformed people are about their own health (amounting to only 12% of adults), which is very bad for their physical and financial health because hospitalization is pretty expensive. Additionally, I was able to recognize the need for a solution to the current issue by developing strategies to raise everyone's level of health literacy.
