Download or read book Communication Public Discourse and Road Safety Campaigns written by Nurit Guttman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the use of communication campaigns to promote road safety, arguing that they need to elicit public discourse on issues pertaining to culture, equity, gender, workplace norms, environmental issues, and social solidarity. Increasingly, new media channels and formats are employed in the dissemination process, making road safety-related messages ubiquitous, and often controversial. Policy makers, educators, researchers, and the public continue to debate the utility and morality of some of the influence tactics employed in these messages, such as the use of graphic images of injury or death, stigmatization (or "blame and shame"), and the use of "black humor." Guttman argues that influencing road safety requires making changes in normative and cultural conceptions of broader issues in society, yet the typical discourse on road safety tends to focus on individual attitudes and practices. The book highlights the importance of social and behavioral theory in communication campaigns on road safety, and critiques the tendency to focus on individual cognition, affect, and risk conceptions rather than on normative, structural, and cultural factors. The volume positions the discourse on road safety as a social issue, and treats road safety behavior as a social activity that directly relates to other public issues, social values, and social policy, while discussing potential uses of social media and participatory approaches. The discussion turns to the role of road safety communication campaigns as part of a democratic process of eliciting public discourse, including how contemporary society could address broader issues of risk and safety.

Book excerpt: Etiquettes and Manners for Children & Adults In Sanatan Sanskriti (Hindu culture and tradition), teaching children’s etiquettes and manners is considered crucial for their holistic development and integration into society. Here are some key etiquettes and manners emphasized in Sanatan Sanskriti: Respect for Elders: Children are taught to greet elders with respect, such as by touching their feet or offering a respectful namaste (a gesture of greeting). Politeness and Humility: Emphasis is placed on using polite language and showing humility in interactions with others, regardless of their age or status. Purity and Cleanliness: Keeping oneself and one's surroundings clean is considered important for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Table Manners: Children are taught how to eat with proper etiquette, including using utensils correctly, not talking with food in their mouth, and showing appreciation for the food served. Sharing and Generosity: Encouraging children to share with others and to be generous fosters a sense of compassion and community. Truthfulness: Teaching the value of speaking truthfully and honestly in all situations is emphasized to build trust and integrity. Self-Control: Instilling discipline and self-control in children helps them manage their behaviour and emotions appropriately. Gratitude: Teaching children to express gratitude for blessings, opportunities, and acts of kindness cultivates a positive outlook and humility. Respect for Nature: Instilling a reverence for nature and all living beings encourages environmental consciousness and a sense of interconnectedness. Spiritual Values: Depending on family beliefs, children may be taught specific spiritual practices such as prayers, meditation, or rituals that emphasize moral values and inner peace. These etiquettes and manners are not just rules to follow but are seen as fundamental principles that contribute to a child's character development, social integration, and spiritual growth in Sanatan Sanskriti.
