The video titled "Origin of Everything: Where Did Advice Columns Come From?" explores the evolution and significance of advice columns. Tracing back to the Athenian Mercury in the 1690s, the video shows how these columns transitioned from scholarly resources to personable forms of media, responding to societal shifts toward peer advice and emotional labor, especially ascribed to women. Iconic figures like Dorothy Dix shaped the advice column into a trusted medium by the 19th century, offering moral clarity and a sense of community. The video highlights how advice columns support emotional intelligence, decision-making skills, and relationship skills, maintaining relevance even in modern media landscapes dominated by digital communication. These columns continue to flourish as they resonate with personal connections, contrasting the often impersonal nature of mainstream news. The educational aspects of these columns make them an intriguing study in human behavior and communication for young learners.
