Public Relations and Society of America: Helping Students To Excel In The Professional World



 The Public Relations and Society of America better known as the PRSA. They are a worldwide organization dedicated to public relations in addition to develop and grow ideas on how to do better work and also to bring together professionals from around the world to share ideas.The interesting thing is that this organization has chapters in almost every country in the world and addiction in each country, working together with universities to develop and discover new talent for this business continues to grow and doing the good work you are doing through  the years. Personally I actively participate during my undergraduate year in the chapter on Puerto Rico and as a studentI participate and learn in different activities and conferences created from them. I also had the opportunity to do public relations campaigns for which it was my university and work in a public relations firm in my last year of study. They have chapters in all universities which teach public relations and they give them real task to  students  as any professional. In addition, develop professional conferences and give students the opportunity to socialize with professionals who can give them a chance to enable them to connect to a future career.


In addition to helping students and future professionals, this world renowned organization currently works in public relations campaigns recognized and rewarded as well, working with nonprofit foundations. Another situation for which this organization is famous celebrities are the business cases. The framework for The Business Case for Public Relations was created with the help of public relations industry leaders. The goal is to drive industry recognition and growth by helping professionals in the field educate key audiences about public relations’ roles and outcomes, demonstrate its strategic value and enhance its reputation. Over time, this initiative will come to include research, practical tools, influencer and media outreach and targeted career development opportunities. It also will celebrate the positive influence our industry has had in the service of the public good.

Bobby McFerrin hacks your brain with music @ www.ted.com





Honestly before I select the video which was going to do the blog and saw several more,  the one that caught my attention was the video "Bobby McFerrin: Hacks Your Brain", indeed, were the most entertaining 3 minutes I could see online. It's incredible to see how the brain works with all senses of the body and as follows the rhythms of the feet with no one knowing the sound of each movement, it's was curious. The best thing was to see and heard  that everything is connected one thing to another and that the mind is so big and bright that all the public who was there present do same sounds with the movement toward the speaker, even when he laughed, went to the same time. This is a video that actually says nothing, but also says a thousand words at the same time, anyone who watches this video,  at the end is silent yet a thousand words to say about it, I would be surprised what you can do with a simple movement.  Videos like this inspire people to develop their skills and teach whole world through the Internet. Who knows if this video, could inspire thousands of doctors, scientists or therapists and develop new methods to cure diseases like this sounds and movements that help develop in a fun way.
