Society will shape you into the person you are. From birth, you are already part of a society known as your family. This small society will grow as you grow and each person’s society will be unique. Having influences and people you look up to like parents and teachers at a young age will shape and cause your views to change. Since at birth you have no set values and morals, the people who raise you will pass theirs onto you. An example from the novel Girl with a Pearl Earring1 would be the main character Griet.

She was so used to her family’s beliefs that a small change such as paintings on the wall would bother her to the point where she was scared to look at them (Pg.…

“What is the definition of health?” When I was first asked this question at the start of the semester, my initial thoughts jumped to a more direct answer that encompassed a person’s physical and mental health; observations of weight, musculature, neural defects, acumen, and mental clarity were some of the gauges I considered in determining a person’s measure of health. While I do not consider this definition wrong by any means, the defining of a person’s health should not cease on the surface level, for a far greater understanding arises when it is viewed at the roots. Concepts such as the Social Determinants of Health, change theories, and growth and development theories are some of many models a nurse can embrace in order to understand…
These hormones increase blood pressure, speed heart rate, and raise blood sugar levels. They also make someone more vulnerable to illnesses. It can increase the risk of a respiratory infection.

Everyone possesses self-esteem in some way. Some have low self-esteem where one is not confident in themselves but doesn’t have the confidence to change, while others have high self esteem, where one is proud of what they do and happy with their lives.
