Pensez de la Santé

À la suite de la pandémie de Covid-19, il y a eu la propagation rapide du coronavirus sur les continents et les nations du monde en très peu de temps; laissant dans son sillage la peur, la confusion et la mort alors même que le monde est toujours à la recherche d'un remède et d'un éventuel vaccin.

Parmi les secteurs les plus touchés par la pandémie se trouve le secteur de la santé dont les travailleurs ont été en première ligne pour lutter courageusement contre sa propagation et gérer les infections.

Malheureusement, un bon nombre de ces agents de santé ont perdu la vie dans l'exercice de leurs fonctions tandis que d'autres souffrent de l'infection ou risquent d'être infectés en raison d'une exposition constante.

Alors que le monde célèbre la journée de la santé et de la sécurité au travail, il est pertinent d'attirer l'attention sur le fait que «les soins de santé sont des droits humains»; d'où la nécessité d'interroger de manière approfondie toutes les parties prenantes sur:

- Amélioration des infrastructures / systèmes de soins de santé

- Couverture santé pour tous; en particulier le groupe vulnérable

- Couverture de protection sociale pour les travailleurs de tous les secteurs

Atténuons la peur;

À Savoir
Some French Taboos in Small Talk and Conversations

1. If you can, it is so much more preferable to talk to a French person using their language. It doesn’t matter if you speak French badly or your pronunciation is way off. The point is to do your best. 😁 😀😀😀😀

2.You can use 🙋 “bonjour!” to say hello.
If you are truly at a loss on what to say in French, simply say 🙏 “Je ne parle pas francais. En anglais, s’il vous plait.” This means, “I do not speak French. In English, please.” But the best thing is still to learn basic French phrases. You never can tell when you'll need it!

3. Mind your " tu" and "vous"! 😎
In English, it doesn’t matter whom you’re speaking to, there is only one kind of ‘you’ word to use. In French, however, you may end up insulting someone if you don’t choose the right "you".
"Tu" denotes a familiarity or level of closeness with the person you’re talking to. "Vous", on the other hand, shows formality and respectful distance. Make sure to choose the proper "You" for each situation.

4. Conversation starters that may be popular in other cultures don’t sit well with the French. These include questions involving money or personal inquiries such as “what do you do for a living?”, “are you married?”, “do you have kids?” 😎😎😎
Stick to safer routes such as French culture, art, food, music, philosophy, architecture, and popular events. Just make sure you know what you are talking about.

5. Never ever flaunt your wealth during conversations. This is considered shameless and seen as bad taste. Your words will not be considered as a sign of good social status as well.

6. Use the words Madame (for females), Mademoiselle (for young females), and Monsieur (for males) to address a person. The French are generally formal which is often the reason why they’re being regarded as aloof or cold. You can still be friendly and warm without going overboard.

7. If you’re in France for business, avoid droning on and on about business talks during lunch. The French believe that there is more to life than working nonstop.
Sit back, enjoy your meal, and talk about something else aside from business. There’s plenty of time for that when not in a table filled with good food.😜 😝😜😜

8. Break the ice with a quick “bonjour” followed by madame, mademoiselle, or monsieur. Always say “merci” (thank you) and s’il vous plait (please). 👋👋👋Good manners are awesome wherever you are.

9. It is considered bad manners to ask questions about political preferences. Wait for the person to open up that sort of conversation; don’t jump into it.
