Communication Strategies for Health Promotion
To promote a respectful attitude towards different and distinct populations, some communication strategies should be implemented. In this regard, interactive sessions between people with diverse backgrounds should be convened to create social bonding. Likewise, communication between family, teachers, friends, and victims is an important pillar that can lighten the effects of bullying. It will reduce the communication gap between the individuals, and bullying will not push them towards psychological disorders. In the 21st century, media has become an effective communication tool in all its forms and manifestations. Some public service messages should be given through media to promote intercultural and inter-religious harmony. This attempt can promote a respectful environment for the distinct identities in a community.
In my analysis, I have added some assumptions for the victims of bullying. In this context, I have assumed that bullying mostly happens to young adults. I have assumed that bullying can be in the form of verbal abuse, physical torture, emotional blackmailing, and social isolation. I have also assumed that bullying can result in mental distress, physical harm, social disparities, and financial problems. All of these things are just assumptions, and they reflect uncertainty in my analysis.
Many factors contribute to healthcare disparities. First of all, the power tussle between the upper and lower classes creates healthcare disparities (Kennedy,2020). Likewise, the lack of awareness of public health can also deprive certain populations of public health. Additionally, the persistent biases in healthcare providers for certain populations based on their caste, creed, gender, religion, and culture can also create disparities (Bergmann, 2019). Proper healthcare interventions are needed to create an enabling environment and make healthcare facilities accessible for all.
