p2 life factors unit 4
Scenario/Focus
During our lives we are influenced by particular life factors. These can be genetic factors that we inherit from our parents that we cannot control, such as Cystic Fibrosis. Or they could be Biological factors (caused when a baby is in the womb) for example, Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. Environmental factors, for example chemicals and pollution. Socio-economic factors such as, how much money our parents have may prevent us from affording certain things to keep us as healthy as we want to be. Finally, lifestyle factors may influence our choices, including whether we smoke, take up exercise etc. All of these factors can impact on an individual’s development. This task will allow you to explain how.
