  • Society does a lot to improve our health, from sanitation to healthy foods. But society can have negative impacts on our health as well, and whether or not we get the positive impacts or the negative ones, can often come down to social and economic standing. In this episode of Crash Course Public Health, we’re going to take a look at some of the basic societal elements that affect our health, and why they are often tied to economic inequality.

    As a disabled person, I find this subject very fascinating. I hope that a future episode talks about the Social Model of Disability to illustrate to what extend disabled people are handicapped by society.

    I haven't watched Crash Course in a while but the health topic interested me, so I clicked on the video and immediately went "Wait, that's the Braincraft lady!"

    02:30 - Just to emphasise... the main thing that happened since the 1800s is the awesomely large reduction in child mortality. Even back then quite a number of adults (i.e. past the hurdle of high child mortality) lived to what we'd still consider 'an old age'. Just because the average age at death was, e.g. 34 years doesn't mean that hardly any adults lived longer than that.

      I started my third application for disability benefits recently. Their flaws are so absurd!

    As someone in Canada, I am always baffled my American friends are waiting to go for care. If I have even a slight concern, I go to get a checkup and some care, and often I catch things before they inhibit me. Whereas my American friends don’t get help until they’ve already allowed the illness to escalate to the point of sever inhibiting symptoms.

    • @heikothedwarf

      Because it's prohibitively expensive to get checkups every time we have slight concerns. I got charged $200 (even with pretty good insurance) for a tonsilitis check one time I had a nasty sore throat. The next time I had a sore throat that was so painful it disrupted my life, I just hoped for the best and didn't go to the doctor, because $200 is just too much money to pay to probably be told "eh, it'll be over in a few days".

      I'm in the UK where we have healthcare that is free at the point of use, but I still wait until I've got debilitating symptoms before going to the GP. I've had so much poor care and been told that things are nothing so often that I've lost faith in the system. There are a lot of reasons why people don't want to access healthcare.

    As an American, nothing quite demonstrated "how society effects your health" like the COVID pandemic, that's for sure. Our widespread misinformation campaigns and distrust of science paved the way for *over a million deaths and counting.* To say nothing of all those who suffered their way through it and survived, and the long term health defects they'll be stuck with which will burden our health systems for decades to come. I'm truly at a loss in how this absolute catastrophe hasn't caused us to re-evaluate our healthcare priorities as a society. To rebuild on these ashes with the same shoddy oil-soaked wood is to just ensure it catches fire again down the line.
    It truly seems like we value an ephemeral, poorly-defined idea of "freedom" above valuing each other. As if there aren't other countries over the bend proving every day it's absolutely possible to do both.

    This is very important. One more component of the systemic racism that affects people of color here in the US.

    Every job is important, every worker matters. Accruing value from investments isn't a job. Capital only matters as long as we rely on money to establish hierarchies.

    I live alone in my isolated house in the country, grow much of my food on my own property, and definitely bathe alone. Why social connections mostly consist of interaction with my neighbor and his dogs when I collect my mail. I am practically a hermit making shopping contact once per week and by telephone. What society do I belong to.

  • @M4nusky
    @M4nusky ปีที่แล้ว +51

    Would have been important to note that the very low life expectancy in the 1800s was mostly due to the large number of children not surviving to 5 years of age. Skews the statistics a bit.

      It is mentioned at 2:30, that's what infant mortality refers/alludes to.

    I think health class isn't just about bodily science, disorders, mentality, and food; isn't human communication a part of it too? It's been a while since I was in health class, but the teacher said one part of the subject is telling your friend the truth about not liking her new hairstyle, but with sensitivity.

    This is a good video however, there is no need to use older times in history to demonstrate these issues. So many need to be educated how society is so jacked up on so many levels and it’s made by design in purpose!!

    What happens if something motivates people to stop being doctors? Now we have only a few doctors for a massive number of people who need care. What would happen to the quality of care?

    the paleo nerd in me wants to call places where food is too expensive "food grass lands"
    but i'm assuming that's too niche of a reference compared to Food Swamp and Food Desert
    and you'd have to say it Food Grassl'nd to make it feel right imo
