Health Medical Homework Help

I’m working on a speech therapy question and need an explanation to help me study.

Delivering or sending a public health message to an affected community would fall more in the lines of public awareness or community action. Something quite similar and devastating as the Flint topic has happened to my homeland but with Uranium Mining. My mother is a leader for her people, she has a powerful voice that has led her into positions in Washington D.C challenging many issues, I have seen her speak many times and she does not mince words when it comes to sending messages to policymakers. At times it can be quite intimidating. One day I asked her ‘Why her tone has anger, power and wisdom”? I know what she was saying was completely 100% true when she spoke and I think this is why she was needed many times in Washington D.C to Speak behalf of the Navajo people. She told me “As a young girl, she saw the challenging of not only Native Americans but other people in this world who suffer on many issues and one thing that she learned was policymakers do not budge until you grasp their attention. She says “there are many games and tricks in the book but I speak from the heart. I speak the truth and I will always speak and stand up for what is right!” She mentioned that not a lot of people out in this world are not willing to stand up for what is right because they are scared.

So, the point I am trying to get at here is the message being sent to policymakers must be blunt, honest, and sometimes it needs to be intimating enough to where is grasp policymaker’s attention, not to scare them but to let them know and even feel the harsh reality on issues; such as the Case study of Environmental Injustice or Uranium Mining on Navajo lands.

People live these horrifying stories we read or hear about and Policymakers will never fully grasp the idea of these issues until they are confronted with it. So, I believe that delivering messages to affected community and policy makers are two completely different conversations, they both have different tones. I know fighting the system such as the Case Study of Environmental Injustice can be hard to do on ethical grounds as well as timely communication and special considerations. It doesn’t always work that way. I have seen the process of many cases that were imposed injustice and you will never really see results. It has been nearly 76 years later from Uranium Mining on Navajo lands and to this day, it is still a topic and battle the Navajo people are fighting for clean-up. So far, not all sites have been cleaned only a couple but compared to the damages it has done, it was never truly resolved. This is why my mother speaks with such anger in her tone as well as not mincing words. My favorite quote that I love to live by helps me to stay on ethical grounds knowing that my actions are honorable is “Never, ever be afraid to make noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble” by John Lewis. I look at delivering a message to policymakers as not only speaking for yourself but your speaking for those who cannot or are afraid to. Sometimes being a leader comes with the territory of not always following the rules in the book. In order to deliver the message and make it strong, you must know the people, the roots of the case and you most also know what your truly speaking for and why?
