Mother Was Forced to Abandon Her Daughter

Questions: 1.What is the writers thesis or argument in this regard? 2.What evidence do they present to support their thesis? 3.What is your view of their argument? 4.What event can you think of (or have seen in the media) that proves or at least could be considered in relation to the evidence presented? Answers: 1. The writers have argued (and their thesis is) that, health and wellness are interdependent and such interdependence is actually the outcome of a complex interaction that takes places between the biological factors, the psychological factors, and the socio-structural factors. The writers have suggested that the three factors, known in a combined way as the BPS Model, is one of the most effective theoretical models for explaining the causes of physical and mental ailments. 2. The authors have presented some specific supportive evidence to strengthen their thesis. The authors have pointed out that there is an intricate relationship between biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors that eventually determine the status of an individuals psychological and physical health. The authors have provided evidences supporting the fact that often social isolation and economic turmoil like joblessness lead to depression or self-incrimination or even to sedentary lifestyles, and such menaces eventually give rise to physical ailments like hypercholesterolemia, myocardial infarction, and even diabetes. 3. I do believe that the authors arguments are justifiable. There is indeed an intricate relationship between psychological and social wellbeing with physical wellbeing. If an individuals social life is fruitful and rewarding then it can be assumed that his/her physical wellbeing or psychological wellness is ensured. It has often been seen that peace of mind is the key to professional and social success, and a successful man and woman is bound to experience happiness which is an essential factor for staying healthy. This holds truth for the nursing profession too. If judged from both the perspective of a nurse and a patient then it can be seen that both of them needs to have mental peace because psychological wellbeing will help the nursing professional in concentrating more on the care-giving process and this would contribute to the enhancement of the mental health of the concerned patient. In the future if nursing administrators can formulate and implement strategies to alleviate t he undue workload on nurses then, naturally, nursing professionals will be more psychologically at peace and this would increase their productivity manifold. 4. There are ample evidences that are often published in the media pointing to the fact that there is indeed an intricate relationship between socio-structural factors and physical and psychological wellbeing. For an instance, in the article, Mother Was Forced to Abandon Her Daughter With No Legs, Now Shes A Gymnast, Zagorski (2014) has pointed out how social support can help a physically challenged individual overcome all the adversities and eventually emerge as a successful individual having self-worth and self-respect. Going through the article one can understand that social structure of a positive nature can actually motivate an individual to attain the impossible, and this proves that psychological wellbeing is thoroughly related to a persons sense of physical wellbeing.
