For this Copy Writing Subject, first I choose to pick Blood donation as my tittle.
But after that I change the title to Anti Racism and misconception about health.
What is Blood Donation?
- Blood drawn voluntarily, transfer to another person
Type of Blood Donation?
1. Allogeneic also called homologous donation
- is when a donor gives blood for storage at a blood bank for transfusion to an unknown recipient
2. Directed donations
- are relatively rare when an established supply exists
3. Replacement donor donation
- is a hybrid of the two and is common in developing countries which means a friend or family member of the recipient donates blood to replace the stored blood used in a transfusion, ensuring a consistent supply.
4. Autologous donation
a person has blood stored that will be transfused back to the donor at a later date, usually after surgery

Medical History
- a patient is information gained by a physician by asking specific questions
Process:-
- Identification and demographics: name, age, height, weight.
- The "chief complaint (CC)" - the major health problem or concern, and its time course (e.g. chest pain for past 4 hours).
- History of the present illness (HPI) - details about the complaints, enumerated in the CC. (Also often called 'History of presenting complaint' or HPC.)
- Past medical history (PMH) (including major illnesses, any previous surgery/operations (sometimes distinguished as "Past Surgical History" or PSH), any current ongoing illness, e.g. diabetes).
- Review of systems (ROS) Systematic questioning about different organ systems
- Family diseases - especially those relevant to the patient's chief complaint.
- Childhood diseases - this is very important in pediatrics.

After a discusion with lecturer, because I am not a user or even second user for blood donation.
So I decided to change my direction to misconception from blood donation.
In my previous research, I found out that Blood group A and Blood group B can produce
Blood group O child as long as AO exist.
The following is some of the visual:
So I create a copy writing which is
Don't Judge Too Quickly.
with the following visual
--------------------------------------------------
Chromosome Inheritance
50% of getting deaf only
As for the Misconception of health - Don't determine too quickly.
--------------------------------------------------
Before that, I also ask around my friends and ex-classmates,
I found out that if they are Malay, they will not receive blood from chinese because chinese eat pork
which Malay cannot accept.
For Chinese, they also says if it is not so necessary they will not take in others race blood just because they do not like it.
For me, I think that race does not effect the blood, so don't be Racism.
Racism is generally defined as actions, practices, or beliefs that consider the human species to be divided into races with shared traits, abilities, or qualities, such as personality, intellect, morality, or other cultural behavioral characteristics, and especially the belief that races can be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to others, or that members of different races should be treated differently
Supremacism is the belief that a particular race, species, ethnic group, religion, gender, sexual orientation, class, belief system or culture is superior to others and entitles those who identify with it to dominate, control or rule those who do not.

Anti-Supremacim copy writing
Kids Are Colour Blind, why aren't we?
We used to be Colour blind, why change it?
--------------------------------------------------
What have I learn from this copywriting class:
I am not brainless, I just do not use my brain a lot and
I am not sensitive enough though environment and everything beside or around me.
I always spill out what is on my mind and did not really notice what is on others people mind.
Though this class I have learnt that I have to stand on the spot to think what others people thought
and spill it out the voice on behave of others.
