Prescribing HIV Prevention: Bringing Culture into Global Health Communication By Nicola Bulled
2014 | 273 Pages | ISBN: 1611323622 | PDF | 3 MB
Critical health communication scholars point out that the acceptance of HIV risk prevention methods are bound inside inequitable structures of power and knowledge. Nicola Bulled's in-depth ethnographic account of how these messages are selected, transmitted and reacted to by young adults in the AIDS-torn population of Lesotho in southern Africa provides a crucial example of the importance of a culture-centered approach to health communication. She shows the clash between traditional western perceptions of how increased knowledge will increase compliance with western ideas of prevention, and mixed messages offered by local religious, educational, and media institutions. Bulled also demonstrates how structural and geographical forces prevent the delivery and acceptance of health messages, and how local communities shape their own knowledge of health, disease and illness. This volume will be of interest to medical anthropologists and sociologists, to those in health communication, and to researchers working on issues related to HIV.

Ability to use information and communication technologies (ICT) is an imperative for effective participation in today's digital age. Schools worldwide are responding to the need to provide young people with that ability. But how effective are they in this regard? The IEA International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) responded to this question by studying the extent to which young people have developed computer and information literacy (CIL), which is defined as the ability to use computers to investigate, create and communicate with others at home, school, the workplace and in society.

Powerful Gods in Every Mythology: Zeus, Ra, Jupiter, Perun, Lugh, Ahura Mazda, Huitzilopochtli, Dagda, Jade Emperor, Viracocha, Vishnu and many more by Trident Books
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B7Z5RVLP | 50 pages | EPUB | 0.59 Mb
We have experienced and seen things throughout history that we cannot fully comprehend. What we are unable to reveal or understand, we become a myth. We used to tell young children these myths to instruct them on essential tasks and keep them from being out of trouble. It's a common misconception that mythological deities were linked to just one thing or function. While it is true that several gods gained fame for particular roles or abilities, they frequently had a variety of interrelated specialties.

Tiffany Potter, "Ponteach, or the Savages of America: A Tragedy"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0802095976, 0802098959 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 2.2 mb
Pontiac, or Ponteach, was a Native American leader who made war upon the British in what became known as Pontiac's Rebellion (1763 to 1766). One of the earliest accounts of Pontiac is a play, written in 1766 by the famous frontier soldier Robert Rogers, of the Rangers. Ponteach, or the Savages of America is one of the only early dramatic works composed by an author with personal knowledge of the Indigenous nations of North America. Important both as a literary work and as a historical document, Ponteach interrogates eighteenth-century Europe's widespread ideological constructions of Indigenous peoples as either innocent and noble savages, or monstrous and violent Others.
