I need some assistance with these assignment. leadership autobiography of indira gandhi Thank you in advance for the help! Indira Gandhi served as a Prime Minister for two different periods including the 11 year period starting from 1966 and ending in 1977 and then she held the office of Prime Minister for a 4 year period ranging from 1980 to 1984. She was still holding the office when she was removed from the face of the earth through murder and she successfully became the only female Prime Minister in the history of India. This writing will focus on the leadership autobiography of Indira Gandhi and will reflect upon why she is one of the major examples of a successful leader.

The way a leader lead is referred to his/her personal philosophy of leadership. Different leaders follow a different philosophy of leadership. Leaders follow the dictatorial, participative, delegative philosophies of leadership. Indira Gandhi and her actions reveal that she followed an autocratic form of leadership philosophy. A leader who follows this philosophy tends to communicate clear expectations that he/she may have from her followers. They do not only inform the followers about what needs to be done, they even tell them how operations are to be carried out. These leaders try to alienate themselves from the followers and create a clear distinction between the two in the eyes of others. They themselves make the decisions and do not allow the followers to participate and expect the followers to follow those decisions obediently. One of the reasons due to which it is believed that Indira Gandhi was an autocratic leader is that she was held responsible for conducting acts of corruption and even after she was found to be guilty, she did not give up her position and instead instated emergency after 19752. This shows that Indira Gandhi thought of herself as someone who is above all and has a higher status as compared to others. She did not only declare an emergency. She even disallowed the press to report freely and she even went a step further by detaining members of opposition’s political parties.

Write a 23 pages paper on how health communication works with social media to disseminate information. The internet has turned out to be a dominant international communication mode for health interventions, offering public access to a broad category of health promotion programs, as well as opportunities for people to interact and coordinate with health professionals. The Internet has opened an opportunity for the mushrooming of social sites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and Buzz. These terms are widely used on a daily basis by multitudes of people across the planet. The tremendous growth in social media has been astonishing to witness, but interesting as well, considering the numerous applications these tools have let loose, and their potential to have an influence on population health (Kwatra, Gupta & Anand).

Harnessing the Social Media for Health Communication

In a world that heavily depends on efficient and effective communication, the media has a significant role to play in creating awareness to individuals, including their access to health messages. Conventionally, public health institutions have utilized electronic and print media, as well as social marketing campaigns to distribute important health information to the public sphere. In the last decade, broadcast media has been the leading model of communication, and public health communication has progressed to reflect that trend (O’sullivan & Levac, 2010).

Following the development of the World Wide Web, public health communication techniques have evolved to fit the growing social media revolution. There exists rich literature that explains the effectiveness of utilizing traditional media for public health interventions and communication. Generally, reviews have revealed that mass media campaigns in public health are efficacious. However, few researchers hold the view that mass media campaigns, contrary to printed pamphlets, cannot bring about substantial behavior change in the target subjects. The same researchers assert that campaigns are able to raise the level of public awareness and the cancellation of public health messages (O’sullivan & Levac, 2010). In addition, they suppose that campaigns conducted via websites, e-mail, and other internet applications can bring about positive behavior change in motivated participants (O’sullivan & Levac, 2010).
