Study Notes
Health - Test #2 Review
- Social Class: Represents important means of expressing distinctions within society. Weber grouped people based on their ability to access resources. Poverty is the lack of essential resources (material/services). Absolute poverty is a lack of adequate resources to maintain physical health, while relative poverty considers the context/standards of living in a specific time and place.
- Low Income Cut Off (LICO): A measure of low income that factors in area-specific expenses, including food, shelter, and clothing.
- Causes of Poverty: Factors include individual choices, familial history, and structural issues like lack of power or resources in society.
- Poverty & Leisure: Poverty often leads to limited opportunities in leisure activities and can create social exclusion and marginalization. The theory of leisure class suggests that the upper class engages in leisure activities to demonstrate affluence.
- Social Inequality: Members of a social group often have unequal amounts of wealth, power, and prestige.
- Social Stratification: Societal attributes are hierarchically ranked. This can influence social processes and outcomes.
- Social Mobility: Movements of individuals in a social class system, which can be intragenerational (within a lifetime) or intergenerational (between generations). Sport can act as a "mobility escalator," allowing individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds to achieve wealth and fame.
- Social Inequality in Sport: Participation in sports is not equal across social classes. Higher income and education levels are often associated with higher rates of participation.
- Social Model of Disability: Disability results when environments/structures do not support individuals with impairments.
- Age & Well-being: Infants and elderly individuals may experience different health outcomes, with various factors potentially influencing them.
- Gender & Health: Men and women have varying health risks, often based on stereotypes/social expectations regarding lifestyles and choices. Marital status and associated health are linked factors.
- Immigration & Health: Immigrants, especially young and educated ones, may experience a "healthy immigrant effect" initially; however, health may decline over time due to various factors like screening limitations and lack of access or integration.
- Sociological Perspective on Obesity: This suggests that increased obesity rates are linked to globalization, changing diets, and the influence of capitalism on food consumption.
- Sociology of Fitness: The social perception of fitness often intersects with gender. The norms surrounding ideal body image/expectations and cosmetic fitness play significant roles, influenced by media and social pressures.
- Men's Health: Hegemonic masculinity is a culturally specific concept, emphasizing that ideals of manhood often present barriers for men, affecting their health behaviors and access to healthcare.
