I found the great list below a while back but now I can’t locate the source. Does anyone recognize these? Thank you in advance for your help! • The document has been field tested to determine if it is appropriate and if it could be offensive in any way. • Images of people in the document match the intended audience in terms of ethnicity, dress, age, gender, income level, activities in which they are engaged, etc. • Content is consistent with audience's beliefs about health, causes of illness, methods of curing, death, etc. • Recommended foods and methods of preparation are appropriate and possible. • Any symbols are appropriate and meaningful. • Customs portrayed are accurate. Please respond to me personally at plnenglish@aol.com rather than the whole list. Thank you and happy new year to all!
