Unit 5 post
For our group's PSA we chose to do our video on washing hands which was the product. In order to inform people of the importance of washing ones' hand, we needed to show them the downside of not washing one's hands can do to the person, which was the price. Washing ones' hand could be done anywhere were there is a sink, water and soap, there is really not a specific place. And i think we forget to wash our hands with such a busy life, and i think we need to promote washing hands just as a reminder (promotion).

I like the fact that you and your group made a video on the importance of washing hands. It is something that many people do not do on a regular basis. I recently came across an article that said that only a small percentage of doctors washed their hands as often as they should. This is not only surprising but also alarming!
Hi Cherestina,
I thought it was really interesting that you chose to assign the price "the downside of not washing one's hands can do to a person," rather than the material cost of water and soap (and towel). This is very creative.

A lot of people now rely on sanitizers because they offer a faster and more convenient way.. I see it all the time, and I myself use it every now and then if I don't wash my hands. But of course, the actual act of washing one's hands is very important.
I think this is fundamental knowledge that we teach younger kids, but not practice ourselves. Somewhat hypocritcal. =) I'm also guilty of relying on hand sanitizers. As a student, it is difficult to get to a place where you can wash your hands regularly, unless you use the restrooms often. Unfortunately, some restrooms have those "press down" faucets that make you press down for the water to run. I find this to be somewhat pointless and would rather not wash my hands, but use hand sanitizer instead. Luckily, there are more modern restrooms now that have those sinks with the sensors and paper towel dispensers that do not require you to touch anything, making it more convenient and hygenic for you to wash your hands.
This is a good topic. Nothing beats washing your hands to feel clean. I think it's really disgusting when I see people leaving the restroom without washing their hands. Hand sanitizers are good, but washing your hands with soap and water just can't be beat.
It sounds like you made a great video. I thought it was an interesting approach to marketing.
