There are many different sociological approaches towards health and ill health and they can be used in many different scenarios, such as the scenario of Aziz and Tamsela. Aziz and Tamsela have 4 young children and Tamsela’s parents are also living with them. Their house only has 3 bedrooms so will be cramped and over crowed since there is eight people living in a tiny house. Their house is in a poverty-stricken and discouraging part of London. Also, their house is in a bad state as it is damp and they find it quite costly to keep the house warm in winter since Aziz and Tamsela both don’t have a job.…
The common theme in the short stories "A Pair of Tickets", "A Rose For Emily", and "Girl" is expectation. Each main character experiences a feeling of expectation from either within themselves, from others, or a cultural norm. Each character feels burdened by these expectations and that can be sensed in the tone of these short stories. These expectations have evident effects on the female characters as it effects their thoughts, actions, and self-realizations. Although each story is significantly different, they all share the same theme.…
Throughout society there are many different sociological approaches to health and ill health. Within society there are many different perspectives towards whom the responsibility for health falls upon and also what defines people as ill? Your health is defined by the general condition of your body and mind. An illness is defined by an impairment of normal physical or mental function. To help explain the different sociological approaches to health and ill health I will be referring to the case study of Aziz and Tamsela. Aziz and Tamsela have four young children; Tamsela’s elderly parents also live with them in their three bedroomed houses in a deprived and depressing area of London. Their house is in desperate need of repair; it is damp and due to this is very expensive to heat in the winter months. Aziz and Tamsela are both currently unemployed. The family also has very ill health; during the winter the children generally seem to have constant colds. On top of this Tamsela suffers from asthma and her father has bronchitis; also Tamsela’s mother is depressed and has been prescribed drugs to help her condition.…

On the other hand, other theory in this regard finds NHS responsible for providing the services of health enabling them to lead the healthy life. The functional approach provides the factors and forms of illness are the similar aspects based on which the Marxist approach provides different reasons for the illness. There are more perspectives such as social action approach as well as the feminist approach considering the healthcare with the objective perspective. The feminist approach is concerned with the domination of male within the medical profession (McAvoy & Wilde, 2008; Graham, 2009; Ingleby, et al., 2012). Based on this aspect, different conditions of women such pregnancy and child birth are related to the medical issues as they are natural processes bound to occur in every woman in specific phase of their lives. Since, women as observed in the three families of the case study are responsible for balancing their family and work due to which they suffer from the stress and other physical or mental illnesses. On the other hand, the internationalist approach provided the illness as the perspectives of a person as to what sort of condition can define their illness differs for every person. This approach does not consider the cause of illness but considers the illness itself (Dowler & Spencer, 2007; Smith,…

Andrea, in response to your question, I do believe that women are more likely to seek healthcare than men. I believe this to be true, due to the fact that the way society has stereotyped women, not only for this reason alone, but also because of the way women are raised and brought up by their families. I believe the latter part of that to be true more so for those women from older generations. In society, women are viewed to be weaker than men, whom are to be strong. I personally do not necessarily agree with the previous statement. Women are also viewed as the ones who take care of things, they are the primary caregiver in many families. I believe many women seek healthcare more than men because they have to take of themselves in order…

The major argument conveyed by the author is that the increase in women’s participation in the labour force in many countries have created the “crisis of care”, which is the tensions created by the difficulties that families encounter in trying to balancing family time and work. In dealing with this crisis, reconciliation policies need improvements in order to counter this tension.…
Poverty – Many children are living in poverty, the family will be living on a low income; this could be either on benefits or from only one parent working. Low income families may struggle to provide basic food and clothing for the children, living conditions may be poor and inadequate. Living in poverty can have a huge impact on a childs quality of life. Children can suffer from poor health from below standard housing; this can mean a child may have asthma or pick up frequent virus’s and infections from cold, damp living conditions and also from lack of a healthy diet to protect against illness. Living in poverty can affect a child and the parent’s mental health. Poor accommodation, lack of money to pay household bills and to provide adequate clothing and a nutritious diet can all have a very negative impact on a child’s life.…
A mother’s stability of support is compromised when the father is absent from the home. A family with only one income can be financially burdensome when taking care of children. The financial burden will also depend on which side of the income bracket a single mother is categorized and how many children she is responsible for taking care of. It is nearly impossible to take care of more than one child if a single mother’s income is in a low-income bracket. Also, having a father in the household with a second income to provide financially can make a big difference in the lives of the parents and the children. Mothers sometimes obtain jobs making minimum wage…
