Please note: The following work sample has been transcribed for readability. Spelling and
grammatical errors have been retained to assist with grading.
1) Obesity:
risk: un healthy lifestyle, physically incapable to do daily tasks
protective: have a balance of dimensions, be more physically active to prevent
obesity or limit it.
Alcoholic/over-using the use of:
risk: sociocultural and individual factors can lead to Alcoholics
protective: have positive influences, never sink to peer pressure, self help
safety behaviours. Drink driving, drifting, not sensible
risk: peers can influence un-safe behaviours →behaviours
protective: positive influences, don’t fall for peer pressure.
2) In order to have a great view of health for yourself you need to have an ideal
balance of the different dimensions of health. Physical health, social health, mental
and emotional health, spiritual health and cognitive and intellectual health. These
dimentions dynamically change as your age progresses. A younger person is
perceived to have a greater deal of more better physical health than an elderly
person. These dimensions interact and produce what we call a social construct. It’s
a view in which needs the balance of these dimensions to view our health. The
dimensions of health all link back to each other and can influence us all in different
ways. It is important that you keep a good balance of all of these dimensions
because for example, if you are physically healthy but are not mentally and
emotionally stable it could impact you attitudes and behaviours towards your
physical health, as could do the same for any of these dimensions. These
dimensions of health can also influence you with age for example: a person aged
between (15-25) will want to have a better physical appearance than someone who
is an elder, an elder would want to have more of a stable mental and emotional
health as they might not be physically able to have an ideal great physical health
status. Another example of how the dimentions interact is someone with a
disability/s may not be mentally stable or emotionally stable therefore that aspect of
their health will not be in equal with the rest. These are just a few examples of how
the dimensions of health interact, they give an equal balance to a person as the
dimensions work together to make a version, physically, socially, mental/emotional,
cognitive/intellectual and spiritually healthy.
3) An individuals health can be determined by a range of individual and socioculture
factors. An individuals behaviour can influence the way they think, towards their
health. Genetics can play a big role in this as an example a child who’s parents are
athletic and are genetically built like athletes can influence the way the child will for
towards physical health as his/her body image is already athletic it could influence

them to a better physical health. Another example the knowledge and skill of a
person can also determine the way they feel and see their health. an example being
a ATSI person who comes from a low SES states might not have a great deal of
knowledge or skills to have what we can call a good health status. They would lack
knowledge and skills and would think that their health is fine for what they live in but
for us it would be classified as a poor health status. Your peers also influence the
way you determine your health. If your friends with negative people who go out and
party and take drugs they will peer-pressure you to do the same, and that wouldn’t
be a great influence on your health. Your culture can also determine your health.
you background and where you come from, if your family comes from a low (ses)
country they like said before would think your health is fine, but compared to people
with a good (ses) status we have the access to get and achieve a better health and
they wouldn’t because of their geographic location. A persons gender can also
determine how they perceive their health e.g. boys are stereotyped to be more
physically fit than girls. Where as girls are stereotyped to have more of an better
emotional, mental health.
A persons, religion can also determine their reaction to health. Some religions do
not encourage their believers to have a social life, that it should just be about their
faith and religion. These people would have a great and better spiritual health than
mental because of their beliefs. These factors can determine the way people
believe their health should be wether it’s in a positive or negative influence/way.
These factors who a persons health will be not only now but for the rest of their life,
and this shows how different factors influence our health differently in their own
ways.

Grade Commentary
Yasu demonstrates a basic understanding of some course concepts. Information is presented in a
descriptive manner and includes some relevant examples from familiar contexts. Responses are not
always logical or cohesive and don’t necessarily link back to the question.
Yasu’s work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at a
