Analyse the negative effect of people's personal views about infectious diseases on the health and safety of people.





They have many negative effects on people's personal views about infectious diseases in our society and these attitudes affect patients who survive these infectious diseases in various ways, as a example Corona virus, Evidence clearly shows that stigma and fear around communicable diseases hamper the response. What works is building trust in reliable health services and advice, showing empathy with those affected, understanding the disease itself, and adopting effective, practical measures so people can help keep themselves and their loved ones safe. How we communicate about COVID-19 is critical in supporting people to take effective action to help combat the disease and to avoid fuelling fear and stigma. An environment needs to be created in which the disease and its impact can be discussed and addressed openly, honestly and effectively.When talking about coronavirus disease, certain words (i.e suspect case, isolation…) and language may have a negative meaning for people and fuel stigmatizing attitudes. They can perpetuate existing negative stereotypes or assumptions, strengthen false associations between the disease and other factors, create widespread fear, or dehumanise those who have the disease. This can drive people away from getting screened, tested and quarantined. We recommend a ‘peoplefirst’ language that respects and empowers people in all communication channels, including the media. Words used in media are especially important, because these will shape the popular language and communication on the new coronavirus (COVID-19). Negative reporting has the potential to influence how people suspected to have the new coronavirus (COVID-19), patients and their families and affected communities are perceived and treated. There are many concrete examples of how the use of inclusive language and less stigmatizing terminology can help to in control epidemics and pandemics from the HIV, TB and H1N1 Flu.2

Describe how accounts are used to record information about the effects of transactions? - Bzziii

Describe how accounts are used to record information about the effects of transactions? SOLUTION Every transaction is recorded in the original book of entry (journal) in order of their occurrence; however, if we want to know that how much we receive from our debtors or how much to pay to the creditors, it is not possible to determine at a single movement. Hence, we prepare accounts to know the position of business activities in the meantime. There are some steps to record transactions in accounts: Step 1: Locate the account in ledger, Step 2: Enter the date of transaction in the date column of the debit side of Account. Step 3: In the ‘Particulars’ column of the debit side of Account, the name of corresponding account is to be written Step 4: Enter the page number of the ledger in the Journal Folio (J.F.) column of Account. Step 5: Enter the amount in the ‘Amount’ column. Step 6: Same steps are to be followed to post entries in the credit side of Account. Step 7: Afte...
