6-1 Discussion: Wellness and Culture

Instruction

So far in this course, we have explored wellness through the lenses of history, the humanities, and the natural and applied sciences. In this module, you will wrap up your draft of Final Project Part One with Milestone Four, and the social sciences lens is the last piece of the puzzle. Look back over the topics you chose to discuss in previous discussions, select one, and reexamine it now through the social sciences lens. In your initial post, address the following:

• Describe or summarize your previous topic.
• How has your understanding been affected by the social sciences lens?
• How does the social sciences lens support the lens you previously used?

Make sure you support your response with the readings from this module, and any additional resources if needed.

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric PDF document.
