Personal Definition of Health Part B
When I type in the word “health” into google it’s pretty interesting what results I receive. From the top 3 results the first is health.com (http://www.health.com) a site dedicated to giving advice about “healthy” recipes, sex/relationship, working out, and beauty advice. The second and third are Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health) and Health Canada (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/index-eng.php) respectively.

Death is the final say and once your dead everything else is irrelevant. Health should not be bought for the highest bidder. If an individual lived in a completely capitalist society than they would never achieve equilibrium because they would not have ideal living conditions and strains in many other aspects of their lives. Yet if an individual lived in a 100 percent Marxist society everyone would be equal which would eradicate competition. Competition is good for the mind of an individual and their work life. When you overcome an obstacle you gain a satisfaction that improves a person’s health. If a person was to reach their optimal health based on my definition of health, they would be living in a world that has a little bit of both
