It is the precursor of most preventable illnesses and death. This systemic problem is blended into the fabric of EVERY socio-environmental context. Human Communication Institute (HCI), Public Health Liberation (PHL), and equally concerned healthcare advocates, recognize this specific crisis as the absence of effective communication and listening skills amongst interdependent individuals and groups affecting and exacerbating current public health inequities. HCI identifies Human Communication skills-distinguishable from the biological abilities of talking and hearingas the #1 determinant of a healthy Public Health system and institution. Human Communication as a subject of study and skill development, must be deliberately and actively infused into the academic, social (familial, community) and professional settings

Examines the impact of symbol systems on personal and group identity. Language expresses the
customs, attitudes, beliefs, and traditions of its people. Participants will be introduced to Language
Legacy as a “root cause and perpetuator” of personal identity. The cultural imperative of most dominant
cultures is to keep in place those traits that maintain its dominance. The symbol systems – verbal and
nonverbal – are the major mechanisms through which this maintenance occurs. In addition, co-cultures
must also adopt and adapt to the “prescriptions” of this language often to their own self-deprecation as
well as create their own unique “expressions” that may or may not reflect a consciousness of “lesser
than”. All of this is being passed down generation to generation. Specifically, this discussion should
benefit scientist, practitioners of socio-linguistics, cross-cultural communication, and cultural
sociologists in assessing the role of generational language patterns and their impact on identity – this is
particularly relevant to the argument for the need to reinvent language patterns passed down in caustic
and identity-damaging patterns. P.S. Perkins examines and discusses the specific ways we experience
symbol systems that continue Language Legacy as a major tool in the development of identity including
media, film, music, and other socio-cultural systems of expression. Her lecturers often include
storytelling, the performing arts, dance, and music as inclusive of her edutainment philosophy
