It is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, renal disease and eye disease.

Throughout my study of “Othello”, I have learnt of the many aspects of Othello’s character. He is noble and strong, yet he has many insecurities and is recognised for trusting others too easily. This causes him to obtain the famous title of ‘tragic hero’. According to Greek philosopher Aristotle there are certain characteristics of a tragic hero. These include a noble birth, a tragic flaw that eventually leads to his downfall, a reversal of fortune brought about by the hero’s tragic flaw, his actions results in an increase of self-awareness and the audience must feel pity or fear for the character.

Mass media has been around since history has been recorded and everyday it gets more biased. As time progresses, the people that follow public media are becoming blind to the facts and believe what ever come across their screens. For example, the recent article by CNN, “Police: Alfred Olango pointed vaping device, not gun” shows countless biases that affect every person in the United States, including myself.

Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of death and disease in the United States. No matter what the degree of smoking, it will increase the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke, etc. In 2015, the smoking rate in the United States is 15.1%, which means 36.5 million Americans smoking currently. Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. And of these deaths, more than 41,000 were due to exposure to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke can cause the same health issue as smoking. Every year, the healthcare cost related to the smoking illness is more than $300 billion in the United States.

In Australia alone 15,000 people die every year due to smoke related deaths. Smoking kills more people than alcohol, other drugs, murder, suicide, road crashes, rail crashes, air crashes, poisoning, drowning, fires, falls, lightening,

The American Heart Association reports an even gloomier number, “Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause of premature death in the United States. It accounts for more than 440,000 of the more than 2.4 million annual deaths. Cigarette smokers have a higher risk of developing a number of chronic disorders. (AHA, 2005).

One of America’s leading cause of death is smoking. Smoking has been around for years and doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. The effects of smoking harms about every organ in the body, for example: the heart, blood vessels, lungs, eyes, mouth, reproductive organs, bones, bladder, and digestive organs. Smokers use that “it’s my body, I do what I want,” The problem with that is smoking doesn’t just affect the person doing it. It harms other people in the ways; it’s called 2nd hand smoking. People who receive second hand smoking are possible to get a disease as a person who smokes regularly. It might not be as serve but will still be not good. Most people are trying to quit but aren’t trying hard enough without motivation. Smoking is one of the most common causes of death however quitting now will decrease your chances of disease and death.

Macbeth is a somber Shakespearean tragedy about a gallant Scottish general who receives a perplexing prophecy by a trio of witches. The three sisters predict that Macbeth shall be king. At first, Macbeth was hesitant to the prophecy, but as time progressed, he became immersed with greed and obsessed with power. Spurred by societal pressure and his wife, he took a Machiavellian approach to the throne and was willing to kill anyone that stood in his way. Shakespeare does an excellent job of using the concepts of greed and blood to highlight the issues of gender roles.

I believe that this multi- model poster I am going to be talking about is anti-smoking and reducing pollution. Smoking is very harmful to your health and the environment. Smoking can cause many diseases and can cause air, land and water pollution. Smoking is one of the most preventable disease and pollutant in Australia. So, what’s the point? What’s the point of destroying our environment and our health? What’s the point in smoking, just to get a little bit of satisfaction, when the negatives outweigh the positives? I am going to talking about the different codes such as symbolic, such as colour, setting and objects. Technical codes such as camera angle and written codes.

Let travel back in time, tobacco has only been around for a couple centuries to become popular in modern society. Whereas virologists have speculated that smallpox evolved from an African rodent poxvirus 10 millennia ago. Over the centuries the disease spread widely, especially to developing countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Its spread was attributed to trade and exploration during the early centuries. And if any of you may be able to recall, it was the Englishmen who brought smallpox to Australia during the colonisation period and with the help of other methods, had drastically reduced the Aboriginal population by 90%.
