Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBPwu2uS-w

After watching the video Smoking is Awesome, I felt deeply shocked and introspective. Through irony, the video reveals the great harm smoking does to health and the negative impact it has on society. Although the title and upfront content seem to extol smoking, in fact, it reminds us of the true face and serious consequences of smoking by portraying the various "benefits" of smoking in an extreme way. Here are a few key takeaways from the video, along with my thoughts and suggestions.

The video uses irony to show the many health hazards of smoking, such as lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. These diseases not only seriously affect an individual's health, but can also lead to death. The video highlights that smokers have a significantly lower average life expectancy than non-smokers. Smoking not only harms individual health, but also has a negative impact on society. Secondhand smoke exposure poses health risks to non-smokers, especially to children and pregnant women. The video also shows the environmental pollution caused by smoking, such as cigarette butt littering and air pollution. The video reveals how tobacco companies, through advertising and propaganda, induce people to think that smoking is fashionable and cool, especially for teenagers. It reveals the commercial interests of tobacco companies and their neglect of public health.

Through humor and satire, the video successfully conveys a serious message: Smoking is not only not "cool", but also full of harm. As a college student, I feel it is our responsibility to recognize the truth about smoking and refuse to be influenced by false propaganda. The content of the video made me realize that we should not only be responsible for our own health, but also care about the health of others and environmental protection.

We should realize the harm of smoking and refuse to try and start smoking. Understand the negative health and social consequences of smoking so you can make informed choices. Through social media, campus events and classroom discussions, we will spread knowledge about the dangers of smoking, expose the marketing strategies of tobacco companies, and help others recognize the truth about smoking. Actively support and participate in school and community smoke-free policies and activities, such as smoke-free campuses, smoke-free public places, etc. Create a healthy environment through action. For those who already smoke, actively seek out smoking cessation help and resources. Schools often offer health counseling and smoking cessation support, and can use these resources to help yourself or others quit. As college students, we have the responsibility to set an example of healthy living. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it influences and drives the people around it, especially the youth group.


The video "Smoking is Awesome" effectively conveys the serious harm of smoking through its unique means of expression. As the young generation, we should be deeply aware of the harm of smoking and take positive actions to refuse smoking, spread the correct information and support the no-smoking policy. Through our efforts, we can reduce the negative impact of smoking on individuals, society and the environment and create a healthier and better future.

week 2 classroom questions

w.2 1. I think the team is that everyone has a different division of labor, not only the individual work results, but also the team's results.Everyone in a team has complementary skills to solve problems together to achieve common goals. It's like a family party where the mother will be responsible for shopping, the sister will be responsible for cooking, and the brother will be responsible for setting up the scene. 2. Why do Koreans prefer black clothes?First, I think black clothes are more resistant to dirt than other colors.Second, black is a classic and colorful color, do not choose the body, do not choose the skin color, suitable for various occasions.Third, black clothes can show simplicity and luxury, and can show different styles with various clothing styles, especially black coats and down jackets, which can not only blend into the winter atmosphere of Korea, but also reveal luxury and urbanity in simplicity.
