It is found that, also by long-established members of Small Heath, previously females from the Asian community, a limited English ability exists. This can be due to cultural structures as in some cultures the man is still a patriarch who has the full control over the family. Ordinarily, the position of the women plays in the background by looking after the kids and the house. To understand this gender inequality the feminist theory will be used which is based on the belief that women getting still not treated equal and fair in society. To begin with, the history shows that women were measured on her body, in contradiction men were measure on their mind. Since, the eighteen century women have been seeing as property, object and goods (Popple, 2015, p.64). However, today the feminist theory represents the perception that the society and the state is still patriarchal were men persist in dominant positions and women are in subordinate positions. Fact is, accordingly to Bryson (1993) cited in Popple (2015), male power get still physical and psychological demonstrated with domestic violence, sexual abuse or other types of control to minimize women. (Popple,2015, p.65.). It can be argued that the feminist theory

Everyone belongs to a community or considers themselves a part of one, however communities tends to take away individualism. Anna Quindlen, author of “Commencement Speech at Mount Holyoke College”, spoke to the graduating class and delivered a speech on the effects of society on individuals.

Introduction Health is an important element throughout our life. A person’s health can be affected by many social factors such as gender roles and economic positions. As there are differences in health status between different populations groups, health inequality is then formed, for example, differences in morbidity and mortality rates between people from different social classes. In my essay, I will first define the meaning of ‘health’ from different perspectives. Then, I will talk about how social factors such as gender roles and economic positions determine a person’s health.
Based on the number of people visit diabetic clinic per month and most of people seen to obese I can say the large number of people in this community have diabetes or will be affected with diabetes and heart diseases in the future due to the food they eat and their life style.

In this easy Brill talks about the way in which community is often mistaken for public life. He defines community life as time “spent with and among neighbors, nodding acquaintances, shopkeepers locally resident police, fire, mail and town officials, and people in local fraternal sporting and religious groups.” He says public life is “spent in the occasional company of a diversity of strangers od whom we know little more than what we see…” thorough the use of these definitions we took a closer look at the community we know a Mercer Village and Tattnall Square Park. By doing these activities, I was able to gain a better understanding of exactly was kind of life these areas promoted, and through this the type of social interaction it
The term social determinants of health, can be defined as a ‘set of conditions in which people are born, grow up, live and work.’ These conditions include housing, education, financial security and the environment along with the healthcare service. (http://www.rcn.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/438838/01.12_Health_inequalities_and_the_social_determinants_of_health.pdf) These factors are affected by the amount of money, power and resources that are available at a global, national and local level.

Society is fooled into believing in the applied connection among people. Benedict Anderson’s idea of imagined communities emphasizes that, “… the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion” (5). Members of neighborhoods, cities, states, or countries feel a sense of unity with other members for living in the same place or maybe having the same basic values, but true unity comes from understanding the similarities among each other, considering the impact a person can have on another, and caring about lives. Recognizing the importance of lives being socially intertwined is necessary to sustain a considerate society.

These factors are known as the Social Determinants of health. “The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, including the health system” (WHO). Dalgren & Whitehead (1991) image of the social determinants of health aims to show the relationship between the person, their environment and their health. The modifiable factors, people’s age, gender and race lie in the centre surrounded by non modifiable factors like profession, housing, education and public policy. There is a direct relationship between people’s environment and their health, e.g. people who live in damp housing have a higher incidence of respiratory health problems (Farell et al.
