William Cockerham
- Social context has both a direct and indirect
influence on health
- Without social factors, there is not disease
pathogenesis
- Without social context, one falls into the victim
blaming trap
- Norms, attitudes, lifestyles, and material
conditions
Influences
- Likelihood of exposure to agent
- Susceptibility of the host
, - Disease process and outcome
- Distribution of disease
- Experience of illness and sickness
Cockerham?s definition of lifestyle.
Health lifestyles are not simply
individualistic patterns of behavior.
Lifestyles are chosen and determined by status and group identity
Lifestyles are a form of consumption
A relative form of health is produced to
meet status goals (longer life, current
enjoyment, etc.) Lifestyles reinforce social status Health lifestyles seem to flow from
negative to positive across the social
gradient
Connections among agency, structure, life chances, and life choices.
Lifestyles are integrated sets of
practices sets of practices fulfilling
utilitarian needs and giving material
form to the expression of a particular
social identity
Convergence of Agency and
Structure
Agency is our life choices
Structure is our life chances
What is dominant from Cockerham??s perspective, life choices or life chances?
Health is socially manufactured
through lifestyles
Lifestyles are common patterns of
behavior among groups
Lifestyle choices are "voluntary"
Lifestyle chances are largely
involuntary and limit choices
Lifestyles are chosen and determined by
status and group identity
