Assignment:

The readings for this week present multiple ways to define and understand health and health behaviors. The text discusses the biomedical model of health, the sociological definition of health, and how health is defined by the WHO. For this assignment I'd like you to compare and contrast these three models and then discuss how these definitions impact the way lay people understand health. Finally, given what you've learned and read, how do you define health?
