Week 2
Before attending this lecture, I thought microbes are harming people. However, microbes are harming people but also helping  people. For people in Hong Kong, microbes helped people in some ways, like the yeast cells on the young wine. Microbes also helps to turn the jeans into blue jeans. However, in some countries, microbes harm them. Microbes include bacteria, some people in some countries cannot access clean water, they can just boil the dirty water and drink it, which has bacteria inside. If they drink dirty water, their fecal will spreads disease which leads to fecal contamination, it affects their health. This is also one case study that makes me understand that the environment, human health, and human wellbeing are affecting each other. If the environment in Hong Kong brings some good things for us, for example, clean water, we should cherish them and also bring some good things to the environment, for example, try not to pollute the environment.

I find that even access to clean water is not an easy thing, however, I always wasting water, taking a long bath. From now on, I will try to reduce the time of taking a bath!

I am also surprised at how we were born also affects our health. I was born with caesarean section, which baby was born with caesarean section will increase health risk. I think this situation applies on me, because I always sick when I was in my secondary school life. Although it didn’t affect my learning performance, still I found it frustrated because I don’t like going to clinics and have medicine. However, my health is better now compare with me in my secondary school. No matter how you were born, having a good living styles and try to do more exercises!
