After listening to Radio Lab’s
“Yellow Rain” and reading chapter four of Pelias and Schafer I was able to tell
(maybe a bit more abstractly) how these concepts related to the re-forming of
my original performance of an Intermedia Concept, America’s health.
“Yellow Rain” really demonstrated
the idea of fact versus truth. The man and niece told their personal story
which could be deemed at the “truth”, while the interviewer spewed facts to
refute their “truth”.
America’s
health when discussed is (typically speaking) heavily fact/statistically. Therefore, I think it would be interesting to take a more personal
approach (Personal Narrative) and maybe tell a person’s story who
struggled with one of the diseases related to poor lifestyle choices (i.e diabetes, stroke, etc). I could tell
their “truth”. By telling their story, I could then reiterate why it’s
important that governmental implement more rigorous/motivated campaigns about
healthy living.
