What is communication and why is it important to us?

Charlotte Walker Communication What is communication and why is it important to us? Communication is a word used to describe messages that are passed between two or more people. Communication is a complex process, in which we use many different ways to try and describe our message to the other people involved. The people that are involved in any type of communication form a type of bond because both are trying to make sure that the other person understands them. When communicating ideas and meanings we do it in many different ways such as verbally like speech and singing but also through non-verbal behaviours such as body language and eye contact. You can think of communication in terms of a series of circles or levels. There are several elements that need to be considered whilst trying to communicate with another person known as the three levels of influence. The first level of influence is how we treat people as individuals and on a personal level, the communication environment is the second level of influence which is how we adapt the environment we are in. Level number three is the social and political and cultural environment, this is the way society sees people and how it treats them. Similar to this how we treat someone depends on how society treats them. Communication is only effective when all of the levels are equal and in balance with each

Overall four health models have been justified and evaluated in whether they are able to explain the way people behave. Looking at the reaction we got from our posters the health belief model relates the most

D1 Unit 20 Promoting health education D1 Justify the proposed approaches and methods in their health education campaign, relating them to models of behaviour change Health models are existent but not seen. Within all health campaigns there are models put in to place to create frameworks in the way in which people react, think and behave towards the health campaigns aims and objectives. Health models have been created to find out a range of different information. Most health models follow a victim blaming strategy or the empowerment plan. Other health models are the social learning theory, health belief model, the stage of change model and theory of reasoned action. When looking at the models there needs to be an understanding on how the audience process the information they are given and then see what their reaction is. Behaviours can be detected through the way in which the person acts, or talks. Their interpersonal interaction can also show the way they are thinking about a certain aspect of the health campaign they are faced with. The model that our health campaign followed was the health belief model. This model was created by social psychologists Hochbaum, Rosenstock and Kegels who worked in the U.S. Public Health Services during the 1950’s. The health belief model is a psychological way in predicting health behaviours. It works through assessing a person’s

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different family types

Nuclear family-A couple and their dependent children, regarded as a basic social unit. Advantages of a nuclear family are: .

Role Play to explain factors that may influence the equality of opportunity for individuals

Farah Mehmood:- Health and Social Care Barriers to Communication In health and social care we were told to produce a role play. In the role play we were told to ring a help line for young adults who gave advice e.g. child line or the NHS helpline. We were told that we were going to be recorded so our teacher could assess how confident we were and how good our role play was. There were some advantages in delivering our role play this way. Being in a room away from all of the other students and noise in the school was an advantage, as there were no disruptions and we knew that we were not being overheard. This made the role play seems more real. If we had been given a partner who we did not really know, or felt uncomfortable with, the role play would have been more difficult because we would have felt less confident and shy. There were many barriers to communication in our role play: . Knowing that we were being recorded was hard as we felt the pressure of the role play being watched, and we tried very hard not to make any mistakes. This made me feel nervous and less confident, and my voice began to stutter. . Reading off a sheet was difficult as we had to try and get our timing right and made sure we spoke clearly and not mumbled. . Knowing that the teacher was there and listening to us talk made us feel less confident, anxious and embarrassed. It made us want to

Looking at how Social Learning theory and Humanistic approaches are different and also their similarities when it comes to health and social care.

Comparing psychological approaches. Social learning theory- Humanistic. Looking at how Social Learning theory and Humanistic approaches are different and also there similarity’s when it comes to health and social care. Looking at social Learning theory Albert Bandura believed that our lives where programmed by other peoples behaviours we watch them and copy them, for example in Primary school a child who has challenging behaviour may see a child being rewarded for good behaviour, the child with the challenging behaviour may desire that praise and change their behaviour so they can also be praised for similar behaviour. Bandura believed that majority of our activities especially in our younger years where copied from others behaviours. Within the humanistic theory Maslow believes that we look not just at the small picture but also the larger one. For example in the same scenario above within a Primary School one child with challenging behaviours the other child being praised Maslow would believe that the reason for the child’s behaviour for changing would be for the belonging part of his Hierarchy. Although in both circumstances child change their actions in comparisons the reason behind the child changing the behaviour is different. They reason for the Social Learning Theory and the child changing their behaviour is that they desire the praise that the other child has

Ruth Green This report will introduce risk assessment process relating to everyday activities. A risk is a chance high or low, that someone will be harmed by a hazard. A hazard is anything that can cause harm. A risk assessment is basically a careful examination of what could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precaution or should do more to prevent harm.
