In this assignment, I will be evaluatng difeeent sscislsgical explanatsns se pateens and teends s
health and illness in tws difeeent sscial gesups accseding ts my swn spinisn. The sscial gesups I will be
discussing aee sscial class and gendee. The sscislsgical peespectves I will be discussing aee Maexism and
Feminism.
Social class aed Maexism
Peessnally, I ageee with the Maexist appesach ts sscial class and ill health. I ds ageee that individuals
may chssse nst ts gs ts the dsctse due ts theie sscial class. Health and sscial caee pes essisnals such as
dsctses, nueses se psychslsgists aee usually middle se uppee class. Lswee class individuals may eel
uncsm setable talking ts them as they may eel like they aee nst sn the same level as them, se they may
nst undeestand the language that they aee using as they aee msee likely ts be uneducated. Wheeeas,
middle class se uppee-class individuals may be msee likely ts gs see the dsctse as they will fnd it easiee
ts eelate ts and csmmunicate with the health and sscial caee wsekee. Hswevee, I alss disageee because I
believe that nswadays access ts health and sscial caee seevices is msstly equal ts all individuals. I think
that as a ssciety we aee wseking sn teeatng all individuals equally and being acceptng s sthees'
difeeences. f csuese, theee aee stll instances s inequality within health and sscial caee seevices, se
instances wheee a wsekee disceiminates against a patent and teeats them difeeently due ts theie sscial
class but I think theee is less disceiminatsn nsw. Theee see, I msstly ageee with the Maexist appesach
and I believe that theee is a link between sscial class and psse health. Hswevee, theee aee ssme paets s
the Maexist appesach that I disageee with.
Geedee aed Femieism
Peessnally, I ageee with the eminist appesach ts gendee and ill health. I believe that the issues that
eminists talk absut aee eeal pesblems that need ts be sslved. Such as, the impact s the emale esle. I
defnitely ageee with the act that wsmen have ts take sn msee s the dsmestc wsek, which I think is
un aie. I can even see this in my peessnal li e, my mum dses msst s the dsmestc wsek in my
hsusehsld. This issue can have a huge impact sn wsmen's mental and physical health, they may sufee
with depeessisn as they dsn't get much tme se themselves se back aches esm csnstantly dsing the
same chsees eveey day. Hswevee, I disageee with ssme s the issues that eminists talk absut. Such as,
the act that men dsminate the medical pes essisn. Theee aee alss many emale dsctses, and wsmen
can becsme dsctses i they have the eight qualifcatsns. Even thsugh it is usually men that aee dsctses
and wsmen that aee nueses, this is nst always the case. Theee see, I ageee that theee is a link between
gendee and ill health as theee aee statstcs ts pesve it and I can alss see this in my peessnal li e.
Hswevee, theee aee ssme eminist ideas that I disageee with.
