In a country as diverse as South Africa, sickness and health often mean different things to different people so much so that the different health definitions and health belief models in the country seem to have a profound influence on the health-seeking behaviour of the people who are part of our vibrant, multicultural society. This book is concerned with the integration of indigenous health knowledge (IHK) into the current Western--orientated Primary Health Care (PHC) model. The first section of the book highlights the challenges facing the training of health professionals using a curriculum that is not drawing its knowledge base from the indigenous context and the people of that context...
To everything there is a season ( Ecl. 3.1 ). Nothing is permanent, except God and His promises ( Miles Monroe, from Seasons of change: Understanding purpose in times of perplexity, 1998 ). Seasons guarantee change, give hope and the incentive to plan. The key to life is outlasting a season and smartly setting your goals beyond the season to ensure reaping the best harvest into the desired future. Therefore, seasons are God's greatest gifts to all and everything that God created. Inspired by his own life experiences, the author EDWARD DZERINYUY BELLO, presents an opportunity to aspiring goal achievers, to learn from his own life journey through this book, "Setting Successful Goals in Life". ...
Exploring issues of disability culture, activism, and policy across the African continent, this volume argues for the recognition of African disability studies as an important and emerging interdisciplinary field.While the disability rights movement of recent decades has a rich and well-documented history, it is a history mostly focused on the Global North. Disability in Africa presents an interdisciplinary approach to cultural, health, and policy challenges that disability issues have raised throughout the African continent. The volume draws on the achievements of disability studies while acknowledging the demands and challenges of particular African contexts. The authors bring diverse meth...
I am exceedingly delighted to write a Preface to the second edition of this important and compelling book, The Role Of Culture And Communication In Mediation 2nd Edition by Edward Dzerinyuy Bello. Culture has been defined as the aggregate or sum total of the values, mores, worldviews, and philosophy of life of a people. This means that culture is critical to the construction of the identity of a people as it crystallises their hopes and aspirations, affirms their distinctiveness as a group and offers them a foothold in life. Culture, therefore, constitutes the bedrock or foundation on which a people or group builds and finds meaning to their essence and existence. Culture is also strategic t...
In relation to various cultural theories, The Role Of Culture And Communication In Mediation by Edward Dzerinyuy Bello, outlines the crucial role of culture and how its impact is evident within communication during mediation. It offers a practical approach of having mediators remain conscious of their thoughts and actions while attentively facilitating an unbiased communication between the parties involved. Most importantly, however, are the theoretical views and models borrowed from various writers such as Edward T Hall, Eric Berne, Schulz von Thun as authenticated in the lives of the author and others highlighted in the book. Whether a student, traveller in an unknown country, researcher, practitioner, parent or just any person, each individual will mediate at different levels through life's journey. This book contains practical suggestions and points to think about that will enable embracing similarities in differences and contribute to individuals valuing humanity. Ntombekhaya Tshabalala, PhD
Ich freue mich außerordentlich, ein Vorwort zur zweiten Auflage dieses wichtigen und überzeugenden Buches "Die Rolle von Kultur und Kommunikation in der Mediation, 2.Auflage" von Edward Dzerinyuy Bello zu schreiben.

Das bedeutet, dass Kultur für die Konstruktion der Identität eines Volkes entscheidend ist, da sie deren Hoffnungen und Bestrebungen herauskristallisiert, deren Besonderheit als Gruppe bestätigt und ihnen einen Halt im Leben bietet. Kultur bildet daher das Grundgestein oder Fundament, auf dem ein Volk oder eine Gruppe aufbaut und Sinn für ihre Wes...
