cultural anthropology

Discuss what you've learned from the readings in Chapter 6 about the common characteristics of the healthiest (physically, mentally, spiritually, etc) societies.  What do you think are the greatest "ills" in your own society, and what kinds of cultural changes might be made to address those? How might your own society move in the direction of greater overall well being? Remember we are addressing larger cultural questions here, rather than simply individual illness and health.
