One aspect of Chapter 6 that made me think of the biopsychosocial model was the claim that \u201clevel of education by itself was not a very good predictor of later health and longevity.\u201d Even though obtaining more education does not necessarily mean a longer life, it may have an affect on the other parts of one\u2019s life that leads to longer life. For instance, if one is constantly being bullied or talked down to because of their education level, it may take a toll on one\u2019s mental health. This person may be more anxious or depressed. As we have learned, being stressed can have long-lasting negative effects on the immune system. Moreover, if one doesn\u2019t have a high level of education, they are more likely to live in neighborhoods that are not as affluent. Nowadays salaries are based off of the highest degree attained. If one does not have a higher education degree, they are not going to receive as high of a salary as someone that has a Master\u2019s in that field. This all affects a person\u2019s social atmosphere with the type food they are able to access and afford, type of neighborhood they live in, and influences in those neighborhoods. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 7 stated a claim of something I\u2019ve witness. Not only did my childhood best friend\u2019s parents get divorced when she was 8 years old, but her mother also passed away from a brain aneurysm 2 years ago. For a while she did engage in heavy drinking and was depressed. However she also has gone through the phase of resistance and managed to turn her life around and graduate a semester early and find a full time job. Despite having witnessed what this novel claims, the novel does not present any specific statistics proving their points. With divorce rates rising and being more prevalent, it would be in the best interests of the authors to include these statistics. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
