The Social Construction of Illness

For the assignment, you will write a minimum of three paragraphs in discussion on the difference between the cultural meaning of illness, the social construction of illness, and the social construction of medical knowledge.

Pick a common illness, give a brief overview of the illness and describe which parts of it are medically constructed, and which parts are socially constructed.

Be as thorough as possible when writing your journal entry, and remember, no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… don’t plagiarize!! Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade on assignments.
