Question

Write a research paper on the changing socio-cultural lifestyles affecting the levels of air pollution in our country

Answer 1

Changing Lifestyle, Changing Lives
   It is believed that the lungs of a commoner in an urban society is much darker by the time of death than an average rural inhabitant. With the way our lifestyles have changed, so have the quality of our lives. We sure have better luxuries, but our body can not boast of the same.    Today, for every small commutation, we require a vehicle. A day without electricity is unthinkable, nobody bothering to think about how much pollution thermal power plants cause as they waste this casually. Our lives have been so controlled by the way our lifestyle has changed with the coming of these new technological advances that we forget to think about its effect on nature.  Coupled with all of these are the festivals like Diwali. Today, with the migration of Indians all over the country, these festivals are being celebrated more and with much more enthusiasm. People who did not observe these traditions do so now due to this, air pollution increasing all the while.  As our lifestyles change, we must never forget our roots. It is going to be impossible for us to live a decent life without the support of nature. The sooner we take steps to reduce pollution, the better it is for our future generations.

Answer 2

Health is determined by several factors including genetic inheritance, personal behaviors, access to quality health care, and the general external environment (such as the quality of air, water, and housing conditions). In addition, a growing body of research has documented associations between social and cultural factors and health (Berkman and Kawachi, 2000; Marmot and Wilkinson, 2006). For some types of social variables, such as socioeconomic status (SES) or poverty, robust evidence of their links to health has existed since the beginning of official record keeping. For other kinds of variables—such as social networks and social support or job stress—evidence of their links to health has accumulated over the past 30 years. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the social variables that have been researched as inputs to health (the so-called social determinants of health), as well as to describe approaches to their measurement and the empirical evidence linking each variable to health outcomes.
