TEENAGE PREGNANCY

 Teenage pregnancy is a complex and sensitive issues facing young people of my society as a whole. Due to it feeling of shame, stigmatization and guilt it is something that i personally think is necessary to break the silence and address the issue at hand . I would elaborate on the consequences, effects an causes of teenage pregnancy in this blog. This would create awareness and promote support. 

       Firstly, teenage pregnancy is caused by lack of education, poverty and socio economic factors , cultural and social norms not forgetting peer and media influence . These are the things that influence teenagers to indulge in sexual activities resulting in pregnancy.

        However these causes have their own consequence which are education and carrier opportunities are disrupted ,health risk , social isolation , economic burden. With these consequences there are solutions to these problems which are sex education, access to reproductive health services, support for teenage parents community engagement 

          TO conclude, I would say it s time to beak the silence


and start the conversation.   https://www.facebook.com/share/1ABTPVw68C/?mibextid=wwXIfr

 As students living in hostels we have been facing water crisis for months now. This struggles is on a daily base affecting our lives, hygiene and our well-being . In this blog, I would enlighten  you on the we are facing and the impact it has on us .In this hostel, the rate at which there is water shortage is soo high that they have to draw a timetable for we the student. That's when my question comes that what if its a necessity or its urgent do we have to wait for the appointed days ?               The student at pleasant gardens most of the time depend on borehole for water which is unhygienic for cooking and bathing. We the student do not have any other option to purchase sachet water for cooking and even brushing because these water from boreholes are most of  the time impure which could cause health and education risk. I urge us all to voice out and aid student living at the Pleasant Gardens Hostel  https://www.facebook.com/s...

TRAFFIC JAM AT KASOA

Image
As a concerned citizen of Ghana and a resident of Kasoa, it has been noticed by me that one of the appalling  crisis that Kasoa faces as a society is its traffic jams. Kasoa popularly known as 'kascity' is one of the most populated and active places in Ghana. Due to the high population growth and migration from other places to Kasoa ,it has become overcrowded leading to traffic jams on the roads. These traffic jams do not only affect the roads but also affects the individuals of those society. These traffic jams do not only causes bad roads but also causes lateness on the side of individuals, decreases productivity and most important and common accident.  The traffic jam crisis is appalling and need to be dealt with . https://www.facebook.com/share/1ABTPVw68C/?mibextid=wwXIfr

As part of the mass communication assessment, DR Brown the lecturer for mass communication assigned her students to embark on a campaign journey about societal problems in relation to media. So my team THE PURPLE GROUP embarked on a project named KASAPA MOVEMENT. The project was  based on creating awareness on misinformation . We made use of the new media which is social media accounts like  instagram and tiktok and also the traditional media such as flyers ,banners , shirts etc .
