Mayor Invests £4m to embedded more youth workers in hospitals

• £4 million being funded to youth working teams to be placed in Emergency hospitals in areas with high levels of violence
• Newham General Hospital in Plaistow, Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, Croydon University Hospital, University Hospital Lewisham and Whittington Hospital, covering Islington and Haringey
• Increases specialists. Whereby last year more than 1000 young people were identified as in need of a specialist youth support .
• Aiding them to move away from violence and assisting with education.
• Out of the young people 52 were under 18 which shows the success of this approach
• The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan: ''it is a tragedy that our city is being robbed of young people with so much potential and it is vital we do all we can to help them move away from a life of violence......'
• Helps young people turn their backs of violence as they are working closely with the NHS.

Why it appeals to audience?

• The article is appealing as this generation seeks change and due to movements many people are trying to sole violence between the youths.
• This aid by donating 4 million therefore stops violence from a young age and also increases specialists which therefore attracts the audience
• Furthermore seeing an influential leader like Sadiq Khan seek change therefore gains more audiences as he is a trusted mayor and is believed to make good.

I believe this may be a Marxist view and that is click bait due to the fact that violence between youth is growing rather than showing a decline and that its showing how one influential leader can only make a change through investments making people lad back rather than starting movements like the #MeToo

Talking About Mental Health Is Still Taboo in K-Pop, But Things Are Changing

• There is a growing openness and understanding of mental health between todays biggest pop stars.
• K-pop slowly becoming more acceptable over mental health
• This is good because Korea has one of the highest death by suicide rates as South Koreans put pressure on the youth
• The reason K-pop being an idol is because they are known in Korea hinting towards theit needs to be ideal, perfect humans
• Around the world stigmas around mental health and discussing it are fading and some of the biggest superstars are helping speed that conversation along

Why is appealing?

• K-pop artists and their companies have the ability to enter and take hold of these conversations on their own terms. This is appealing due to the fact that similarly to the voice magazine, influential leaders like k-pop can easily shift the thoughts of a lot of individuals.
• K-pop are well trusted making it very powerful especially having a voice in Korea as their suicide rates are very high. As suicide is talked about in the digital era, it appeals to a lot of people as they would seek to make change for the youth and elders.
