Describe How Poverty, Social Class

U30 (P2) Health Psychology Describe 3 factors such as culture social class, gender, poverty and education may influence the course people respond to health and illness Poverty imaums house Individuals who are in poverty are more in all wishlihood focused on the physiological l needs unwrap of the power structure pyramid. My case study is sourced from BBC documental, toughest place to be a stash away spell and is about a man called imam Syaffi. Syaffi is 28 and personifys in Indonesia with a monthly income of ? 8 by meeting six mean solar sidereal days a week from 6am to midnight as a assail collector and running unornamented errands for his wealthy neighbours as well as sorting and selling recycled rubbish. imam lives in a shanty village with his wife, son and pa meshs and their home is rough to the mini landfill where Imams rubbish that he collects is transferred to a large landfill moreover it rarely does. Imams wages cover rent and small amount of pabulum. Othe r luxuries are what Imam finds in the rubbish such as used shelves, mattresses and chairs.Imams home is a ogre health hazard as the rubbish near his house causes malady and encourages mosquitoes, flies and rats to infect the village, himself and his family. However, Indonesian government dont furnish health care like in England causing Imam to stake the possibilities of catching malaria, streptobacillosis or worse. Imams influences on poverty bring forth him choose to supply the physiological needs of comporting rent and food than constantly supply ways to protect his and familys health and comprise expensive health check bills.Also, Imam finds it hard to provide healthcare for his family because fastness classes drop easily call authorities to make him unemployed if he isnt doing his job properly if he needs to take the day off to take his wife to the hospital. However, Imams secret shows that he sneakily shows the upper-class that his cart is broken and unable to work by pulling out a tyre so he can take an occasional day off for the family.Also, Imams fealty to provide for the family by working over 12 hours each day can make him very stressed and tired which can causes him to exact woeful health but he would rather work more hours if he could so he could provide more luxuries for his family. Furthermore, the food Imam can buy with his salary shows that he can only consecrate basic foods such as milk for the son, water, rice and rare portions of bosom and vegetables so that leads to poor nutrition compared to English rubbish collector Wilbur Ramirez from the documentary who has a better life but has the same job prenomen as Imam.Social Class Contrasting from my discussion about poverty I want to make a case study upon Wilbur Ramirez. Wilbur Ramirez job title is similar to Imam Syaffi but because his social class is higher than Imam that means that Wilbur escapes from beingness in serious poverty. Wilbur monthly salary is ? 1,700 and manage s to live in Hammersmith, west London with his wife and three children. Hammersmith is decent theatre for families to live in London and quoted by a local, I cant designate of anywhere better to be a child than one of Londons cozy suburbs like Hammersmith.Wilburs hierarchy of needs are very diverse than Imam as hell be marked to fulfilling up to self-accusation because all the other needs are met because of his lifestyle as a working class English citizen. Wilburs job as bin man is less stressful due to shorter shifts than Imam and better pay which reduces risk of heart affection or tiredness. This means Wilbur is able to go bad in house bills as well as to provide for his family and buy special luxuries.Therefore, I rely his smell on health and illness would be more focused about how he looks after himself by being trained by his employer to use the uniform when touching rubbish by always wearing gloves. Also, Englands public health and NHS targets people like Wilbur to b e constantly cautious about their health unlike the take a breath of the creation like Indonesia. Therefore, Wilbur would be cautious about giving his family computable nutrition and easily receive professional health care because its valuate paid. Picture of Imam (left) and Wilbur (right) CultureDifferent cultures in general effects our responses to health and gives our opinion on what causes illness, how its treated, who should we seek for assistance? In the industrialised world in USA it sees disease as a form of a negative substance infecting the body that can be treated with medical specialty or hospital equipment to diagnose and treat the patient from the disease. However, other cultures believe that disease is caused by a paranormal activity and prayers, spiritual rituals or visiting a witch doctor would release the disease out of the body and destroyed by a higher authority.This shows that health professionals should give patient compliance due to the sensitivity of one s culture. Studies of convention of Cambodian patients were reassured throughout their therapy by understanding how the medicines and the body work due to lack of education. However, since 2010 the quality of health is rising in Cambodia to annex the life expectancy and making awareness towards HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases but in Ratanakiri, Cambodia is receiving the worst healthcare causing endemic case of malaria, tuberculosis, intestinal parasites, cholera, diarrhoea and measles.Also, maternal/ child mortality and severe malnutrition are issues that causes poor health and illness. Ratanakiri locals are nigh likely to respond to their faith which is most likely to be Buddhism to gain better health than upstart health care. In Buddhism its believed that a person suffering from physical disease also suffers from a poor mindset therefore they have to throw their entire life to their faith and releases what poisoned their body greed, animosity and ignorance to heal the illness.However, modern health care is accessible in this province but the medical equipment and supplies are minimal and the staff are poorly trained and irregularly paid. This gives mistrust for the locals to use professional help as theyre in risk to receive the incorrect care and other hospitals are furthest away near the big cities. Therefore, its most likely that in Ratanakiri diseases are known to be paranormal spirit filled with greed, anger and ignorance than a biological infected substance.However in more industrialised places in Cambodia theyll believe the opposite due to better education, healthcare and scientific awareness.
