The first recorded case of the plague was in China in 224 B.C.E, but the most noteworthy of its kind was in Europe in the mid-fourteenth century where over 1352,25 Million lives were lost.

We Welcome MyPR’s Newest Intern – Zimkhitha Qulu
Pop culture also known as mass culture is what drives society, it is known as beliefs, practices, and objects that dominate a particular geographical area, it is consistent and changes throughout time, this is what sparked an interest in Public Relations to MyPR's newest intern, Zimkhitha Qulu.
