Human Relations: The Concept Of Community Relations And Public Relations

EXAM III
1. Human Relations is everything done with each other as human beings in all kinds of relationships. Public Relations defined by Cox and Fitzgerald is “a variety of activities with the express intent of creating a favorable image of themselves…sponsored and paid for by the organization. Community Relations is comprised of the combined effects of human and public relations. It encompasses the sum total of human and public relations. Community relations can be either positive or negative depending on the quality of the police interactions with the citizens. Example of Human Relations is making sure everyone is ok and well. Public Relations example is when someone doesn’t have enough money to pay for something and an officer takes it

The Job: Risking All for the American Dream is about an officer approaching a group of Haitians who they thought were part of a drug smuggling operation. None of them could speak English, except one individual who knew a little bit. The Officer found out that they were brought on smuggler’s boats, who made them jump off the boat into Boca Raton or put them in small boats and let them sail the rest of the way. This officer searched a lady and discovered she was wearing several layers of clothes because she only brought what she could. The group of Haitians were very good workers and were very respectable, and the police role changed after the first encounter with the Haitian group. What this officer learned about her clients is that there are some people that are in dire need of help. She needs to become closer with this group of individuals so she can understand where they are coming from. “ Policing is as much about helping people and maintaining community quality of life as it is about enforcing laws and apprehending criminals” (Discover Policing, 1). That quote says a lot because this officer could have arrested this group for reasonable suspicion of smuggling drugs, but she didn’t, she made an attempt to figure out who they are and understand what she can do to help. I believe the police handled this situation to the best of their ability. They made sure they were ok and that nobody was injured or hurt, and they helped the Haitians

In the article, it says that everyone experiences a mental illness at some point. Jonathon Schaefer does a study on 988 people from New Zealand and looked to see if they showed signs of mental illness or if it was noticeable. He says a mental illness could be “Bronchitis, kidney stones, a broken bone or other common conditions” (Science News, 1). We look at people with mental illness and assume they are outcasts, but people can have a short phase of it, like when they are very depressed after a break up. https://health.usnews.com/health-news/health-wellness/articles/2015/04/16/how-mental-illness-is-misrepresented-in-the-media This article dives into the perception that people receive. It says that if you “didn’t major in psychology or attend medical school, chances are the bulk of your knowledge about mental illness comes from the newspaper you read, the television shows you watch and the movies you see” (U.S. News, 1) This is a true statement because we watch the news and we see people who claim to have disabilities or illnesses do terrible things. We do not take in to account that these are just people with messed up thoughts. Just because they have messed up thoughts does not label them as mentally ill, but it does label them as a problem. The difficulty of working with this client group is that you may not know
