Document Summary
Death is important in health and illness. Big change-you have your loved one disappeared and left stranded, she needs strength. A lot of social support: did not bury the body without consent from the wife, cultural support. The networks are also a factor of mental and physical health. If you are very well connected to the society than your mental and physical health is high for that community. Why some people are healthy and others are not. Higher diabetes rate: high health care system, something wrong with the metabolic system or genetic composition, what about immigrants. Hiv/aids rates low: uganda the rate is high. As immigrants think that nothing is under control, when the first pay cheque comes things change. Values asking to behave in a certain way. If you have better income than you are better off, if there is no income than you are under stress. Just with one degree cannot be in manage level.
