The health communication campaigns are formulated with an ecological model. The approach takes into consideration the physiological health variable, cultural, and social factors that influence health on different levels.

ethical communication skills This is a case of the lady jane, who worked for a position of estimates. She was more interested in higher salary and appraisal than the current work that she was supposed to do. Jane was working at the customer department, assisting in the creation of bids for the customers. She never knew whether she was an average performer or in case she was a top performer since whenever there was an appraisal meeting called by her supervisor called martin, jane was never given any feedback about her performance level. The issues that were not addressed to her were her performance, her progress, and what was expected of her. So she did not worry since she knew that after her two years of experience, she would get a new position as her fellow friends had. Little did she know about the expectations of martin. She wanted to hold higher positions like her fellow estimates, but she was not ready to work up the ranks. Jane waited for the two years to elapse to have an appraisal without…
