Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways
of communicating without using speech Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found
in every known culture The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great Less adaptable to the
Trang 5codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions In some cultures, applauding in
a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage in communication They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon

Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention Known as a highly contagious viral disease, it broke out in Europe, causing the deaths of millions of people until the vaccination was invented by Edward Jenner around 1800 In many nations, it was a terror, a fatal disease until very recently Its victims suffer high fever, vomiting and painful, itchy, pustules that left scars In villages and cities all over the world, people were worried about suffering smallpox
In May, 1966, the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency of the United Nations was authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people
in more than thirty nations Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated but eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field
The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission Rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers One by one, each small-pox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others and treated At the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated
By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they had isolated the last known case
of the disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for additional years to be completely sure In May, 1980, a formal statement was made to the global community Today smallpox is no longer a threat to humanity Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide
