C. Aspects of personal growth
As for my personal progress, I'm just trying to fit in the atmosphere of this class such as completing my assignment on time and attending lectures and tutorials. Reading the lecture notes before attending the class and making sure to understand whatever is being taught in class.
2. Reflect on the weekly learning outcomes and connect it to something that is relatable to your daily experiences.
This week's learning outcome was to identify various sub structures and groups within the communities and discuss the relationship between substructures and health and identify possible groups that may be more vulnerable to certain health issues. By attending the lecture and presenting tutorials on the topic makes me had a clear understanding of communities, how they are being grouped which can affects certain health issues. As for class, status and power it talks about how people from different classes, status and power live their life. For example, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds are vulnerable to certain health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. These individuals often lack access to nutritious food, safe housing, and high-quality healthcare services which can contribute to poor health outcomes. Consequently, these individuals may face challenges in achieving their life goals and may experiences social exclusion because of their health status.
Reflecting this to my daily experience, I live in a community where we have different wages and income where those officers with higher ranks get good pay and the lower ranks officers does not get a really good pay, but living in this community explains how individuals prone to certain health issues. Whereby people turn to processed foods since it is cheaper for them to afford however this can be a contributing factor to certain health issues and making poor lifestyle choices.
3. Reflect on how you can use this week’s learning as a student or in your daily lives, or in your workplace.
Through the learning this week, I have learnt that we must understand our peers inside the classroom because we have different ethnicity where we have 2 regional students all the way from Vanuatu. I have tried socializing with them and it's good to see them coping up with us inside the class. This lecture helps me to understand an individual around me better and make friends with them. This has helps me to connect with other like minded individuals, interact with them and exchange knowledge.
