Document Summary
Illness: when you don"t know what it is but you have distress (grandma says that your lower back hurts because you"re cold). Someone who cannot afford condoms in haiti and contracts hiv. Individual, behavioural, and biological views do not help global health. Income the more money the more healthy: social safety net your friends and family, social exclusion if you are excluded you are less healthy. Things people tell you that are unrealistic across the world: Practice safe sex what if a woman was beat by her husband when she asked him to use a condom or if there were no condoms to purchase. Cover up in the sun some people do not have access to sunscreen or cannot afford. Ideology: a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy. Capitalism is something you rarely think about but it is happening.
