The Medical and Social Model of Health
Transfer-Encoding: chunked The Medical and Social Model of Health The medical model is not only useful as an academic tool at the critical or theoretical level, it also appeals to health care practitioners at a practical level. The medical model is a scientific view on health and body functioning that was originated in the 19th century. This was when people were beginning to understand the functions of the human body and the ways in keeping the body healthy. The medical model of health was first based on the idea that the human body is like a machine; a car broke down, then it would need to be fixed. The concept of the medical model of health is highly supported by health and social care practitioners that focus on curing illness, rather than the inhibition of illness. They would focused on producing medicines, which would treat numerous diseases and surgeries, this could renovate different parts of the body. The health and social care practitioners value specialist medical services highly because health is viewed as the absence of diseases and illnesses. If someone was to become ill they would make an appointment to see a doctor because they see the doctor as someone to help cure them. The person involved in the treatment process has very little say. This means that whatever the doctor concludes about the health of the person would be final and the person is expected to
What was life like for fighting men on the Western Front?
What was life like for the fighting men on the Western Front? . The trench systems were built during World War I along the confrontation line between the Germans and the Allies they were fighting. This style of fighting developed really because of the developments in weapons and explosives, particularly the machine gun and high explosive shells, that made it impossible to win a battle in the same Napoleonic style of formed infantry squares, artillery/canons and cavalry as had been the case in the 19th Century. The trenches started from the North Sea and ended at the Swiss frontier. The Triple Entente (France, Great Britain and Russia) controlled 425 miles of trenches. The British were in charge of 125 miles and this was the hardest because it was beyond Paris this was where the Germans wanted to take over. A typical British trench was approximately three foot wide and six foot deep. The German trenches however were twelve feet deep. The trenches were also known as “the suicide hole” by many of the soldiers. The trenches all had a fire step and this was used to stand on and fire when the enemy attacked. Soldiers would climb up the side of the trench onto the step and shoot. It was said that if you exposed your head over the top of the trench, your life expectancy was just two seconds. Soon after they realised the amount of people dying they invented a fake
Child development in the Middle Years
Is it true that children’s development from the ages of five to eleven is relatively unexciting, at least in comparison with the more dramatic changes of the early years or of adolescence and is, therefore, relatively unimportant? Child development in brief There is growing appreciation in policy, research, and educational practice that early and middle childhood, provide the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional foundations for lifelong health, learning, and well-being (Cooper, 2005). Bukatko & Daehler (2004, p.10) illustrates the general modern view of childhood: Contemporary society views childhood as a separate, distinct, and unique period, a special time when individuals are to be protected, nurtured, loved, and kept free of most adult responsibilities and obligations. The three stages of child development are represented by the specific age criteria, commonly known as: Early years, Middle Childhood, and Adolescence. Each stage is organised around the primary tasks of development for that period. Early childhood, usually defined as Birth to age four, is a time of remarkable physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Within schools there are Early Year strategies, and special provisions, as well as specially trained Early Years Practitioners. Middle childhood, usually defined as age five to eleven, is a time when children develop skills for
I am going to explain how different factors can affect someones dietary intake and their health. I will start with using myself as an example
Unit 21 Assignment 3 P3 I am going to explain how different factors can affect someone’s dietary intake and their health. I will start with using myself as an example. Dietary habits When I wake up in the morning I very rarely eat breakfast, I have been in this habit since I was about thirteen years old this is due to me waking up late and getting ready for school and then not having enough time to eat anything, this would affect me by making me feel very tired during the day because of the lack of nutrients in my body, I find it hard to concentrate during the day and I feel as though I have no energy this is because I am not consuming nutrients to give my body energy. If I continue to do this it will cause my blood sugar levels to decrease this can be called hypoglycaemia and can cause severe symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, being pale and feeling weak. The foods people usually have for breakfast are toast, porridge and cereal these foods are high in carbohydrates and protein they provide energy for the body and help with the physical growth of the body. Another dietary habit I have is drinking energy drinks and this is a very unhealthy thing to do because energy drinks contain a lot of sugar and caffeine, when I drink an energy drink while skipping a meal it takes away my hunger which is very unhealthy because I am replacing nutrients that should be in my body
Christopher Vogler and Narrative Theories Essay with examples from "The Lion King".
Gareth Askew Narrative Theories Essay There have been many thousands of stories and myths told since the beginning of the human race. Yet the essential elements and structure of these stories have many common methods of dealing with plot and character which have been examined and theorised by many writers, such as Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Christopher Vogler, and each of these will be briefly examined. This essay will examine and analyse these elements, and reference these to Walt Disney's 'The Lion King', a popular and well-known film, and which uses these familiar plot and character devices. In 'The Writer's Journey', Christopher Vogler examines plot and character archetypes. Based on Campbell's 'The Hero With a Thousand Faces', Vogler identifies twelve stages of the Hero's Journey. It should be noted that the stages of the Hero's journey don't necessarily have to happen in order, nor do all twelve stages have to occur, but is a useful template for structuring interesting stories (Vogler, 2007, p7). This is especially true in the case of 'The Lion King', where the stages are mixed up from the standard order. 'The Lion King' starts, as most films start, showing us the main characters in their ordinary world. The images, beats and scenes shown during the first few minutes are vital to inserting the audience into the story world (Vogler, 2007, p85). In the case of
Explore the corruption of morality and its consequences within the texts of Othello, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Enduring Love
“Explore the corruption of morality and its consequences within the texts of ‘Othello’ by Shakespeare, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ by Oscar Wilde and ‘Enduring Love’ by Ian McEwan.” Throughout the literary ages, the perception of morality and life are constantly evolving to change people’s views on morality. Moral and ethical ideas were once chivalric traditions of honour, but have been changed from humanity’s freedom as individual beings to reject social principles and customs. Oscar Wilde once said ‘I am quite incapable of understanding how any work of art can be criticised from a moral standpoint’1, yet staged as the Machiavellian antagonist within Shakespeare’s masterpiece ‘Othello’, Iago acts on his emotions and feelings of jealously and personal competition, which leads Iago to corrupt Othello because of his evil nature – leading an issue to a moral standpoint. When Othello had the occasion to appoint a lieutenant with “Three great ones of the city in personal suit", it appealed to Iago but only to find that Othello had already chosen Cassio. It appeared to be a matter of personal preference only, for he could give no reason for the choice of choosing Cassio. This capricious choice lago at once took as a very great slight upon him, A.C Bradley commented on the “the usual lunacies” in Shakespeare’s tragedy plays that "It has

International Relations: Why did WW2 break out? 1929-1939 History revision notes – International Relations topic What was the Wall Street crash? - In the 1920’s, many Americans bought and sold shares and it seemed an easy and safe way to make money. However form September 1929, there was an increase in shares being sold and share prices began to fall. What was the Great Depression – The modern world had never experienced an economic crisis as severe as the ‘Great depression’. The term was first used in USA to describe the economic collapse, which by 1931, had shattered the US economy and the Americans’ faith in the future. Europe and the rest of the world were also badly hit. Effects of the Wall Street crash - The Wall Street crash had many effects on the relations of different countries. There were a lot of terrible effects on the worst effected countries including Poland, Austria and Germany. The effects on the relationship between the countries ranged from them turning against each other to hyperinflation. The Wall Street crash badly effected France compared to some of the other countries since France created strict rules on products being imported into their country. This damaged France’s relation with other countries since the other countries did the same with French products. Causes of the Depression . As early as 1926, there were signs that the
Unit 2: P4 P5. National Initiatives: promoting anti-discriminatory practice
National Initiatives: promoting anti-discriminatory practice Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) The NMC is a regulatory body for nurses and midwives, in order for them to be able to practise in the UK they must be registered with the NMC. This also requires them to meet standards and follow the code of conduct. The NMC promotes anti-discriminatory practice because if any nurse or midwife falls short of the code of conduct they are investigated by the council. The code of conduct was revised and improved recently to make it easier to understand and follow, making it more effective. The standards have pretty much stayed the same, however they have been summarised into four statements; prioritise people, practise effectively, preserve safety and promote professionalism and trust. Prioritise people means putting the care and safety of the patient first, they should be your main concern. This covers treating people with kindness, respect and compassion, delivering the basics of care effectively, avoiding making assumptions and recognising diversity and individual choice. Ensuring any treatment or assistance of care is delivered without delay and people’s human rights are upheld. This statement of the code of conduct and its standards promotes anti-discriminatory practice because upholding people’s human rights means challenging discriminatory practice when you see it,
Dunkirk.
Dunkirk Hitler was a determined, harsh, and powerful leader. Who was full of corrupted ideas, ideas of dominating other countries. He had already invaded Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and was planning to conquer Poland. When he did, this has caused a spark for a war. In April 1940, both Norway and Denmark had fallen and on the 10th of May the German army invaded Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. France was his next target. By the 27th of May the German Army had successfully advanced towards the beaches of Dunkirk and with help from their Luftwaffe, he had been able to trap the BEF there. On the 27th of May the British Government launched "Operation Dynamo", it was an evacuation plan to rescue soldiers trapped on the beach. The evacuation continued for a whole week. Nearly 340,000 men were saved including 140,000 French troops, but they were very demoralised. You could say Dunkirk was a defeat because Britain had lost a lot of ground, machinery, lives and morale in the forces, and the British public was severely damaged. The evacuation was also panicked, and disorderly. In many ways Dunkirk was a military defeat, because of the loss of craft and weapons e.g., motor ships, planes vehicles, tanks, ammunition, and guns. Dunkirk was also a defeat in morale, because of the visible decrease of confidence in the armed forces and in the public. But the most important aspect of
Domestic violence
There is a general consensus that official statistics on crime and national victimisation studies, such as the British Crime Survey, do not accurately reflect the incidence of domestic violence. What might be the reasons for this and what can, and is being done, to rectify the situation. Domestic violence was first addressed by the British government in the 19th Century; this was a short-lived concern that did not surface again until the 1960's; the government introduced the Domestic Violence Act in 1976, as a result of this, victim surveys were drawn up in order to calculate the spread and extent of the problem. This essay focuses on a number of interrelating issues concerning our knowledge into the statistics surrounding domestic violence, including the methodology used by the various national victimisation studies, a main example being the British Crime Survey published annually. A key point of this essay is that domestic violence crime statistics should always be approached with a "critical frame of mind" (Maguire (2002) p323); research into this area is still limited as for many years it was seen as a "private, welfare or civil matter" (McLaughlin & Muncie (2001) p118) rather than a criminal one; therefore the statistics presented paint a limited picture of the true extent of domestic violence. These limited statistics are the result of many underlying factors ranging
