Each question should be answered in about thirty (30) words and each carries five (5) marks. (5x5=25 marks) (5) (30) (5) (5x5=25 ) Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions given below. Answers should not exceed 30 words in each case. Disease refers to a scientifically identified health threat caused by a bacterium, virus, fungus, parasite, or other pathogen. Illness is a condition of poor health perceived or felt by an individual (Inhorn and Brown 1990). Cross-cultural research shows that perceptions of good and bad health, along with health threats and problems, are culturally constructed. Different ethnic groups and cultures recognize different illnesses, symptoms, and causes and have developed different health care systems and treatment strategies. Disease also varies among cultures. Traditional and ancient foragers, because of their small numbers, mobility, and relative isolation from other groups, lacked most of the epidemic infectious diseases that affect agrarian and urban societies (Cohen and Armelagos 1984; Inhorn and Brown 1990). Epidemic diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and bubonic plague thrive in dense populations, and thus among farmers and city dwellers. The spread of malaria has been linked to population growth and deforestation associated with food production. Certain diseases have spread with economic development. Schistosomiasis or bilharzia (liver flukes) is probably the fastest-spreading and most dangerous parasitic infection now known (Heyneman 1984). It is propagated by snails that live in ponds, lakes, and waterways, usually ones created by irrigation projects. A study done in a Nile Delta village in Egypt (Farooq 1966) illustrated the role of culture (religion) in the spread of schistosomiasis. The disease was more common among Muslims than among Christians because of an Islamic practice called wudu, ritual ablution (bathing) before D 0706 3 P.T.O. prayer. The applied anthropology approach to reducing such diseases is to see if natives perceive a connection between the vector (e.g., snails in the water) and the disease, which can take years to develop. If not, such information may be spread by enlisting active local groups and schools. With the worldwide diffusion of the electronic mass media, culturally appropriate public information campaigns have increased awareness and modified behaviour that has public health consequences. In eastern Africa, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have spread along highways, via encounters between male truckers and female prostitutes. STDs also are spread through prostitution as young men from rural areas seek wage work in cities, labor camps, and mines. When the men return to their natal villages, they infect their wives (Larson 1989; Miller and Rockwell 1988). Cities are also prime sites of STD transmission in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. The kind and incidence of disease vary among societies, and cultures interpret and treat illness differently. Standards for sick and healthy bodies are cultural constructions that vary in time and space (Martin 1992). Still, all societies have what George Foster and Barbara Anderson (1978) call disease-theory systems to identify, classify and explain illness. According to Foster and Anderson (1978), there are three basic theories about the causes of illness : personalistic, naturalistic, and emotionalistic. Personalistic disease theories blame illness on agents (often malicious), such as sorcerers, witches, ghosts or ancestral spirits. Naturalistic disease theories explain illness in impersonal terms. One example is Western medicine or biomedicine, which aims to link illness to scientifically demonstrated agents that bear no personal malice toward their victims. Thus, Western medicine attributes illness to organisms (e.g, bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites), accidents or toxic materials. Other naturalistic ethno-medical systems blame poor health on unbalanced body fluids. Many Latin cultures classify food, drink and environmental conditions as hot or cold . People believe their health suffers when they eat or drink hot or cold substances together or under inappropriate conditions. For example, one shouldn t drink something cold after a hot bath or eat a pineapple (a cold fruit) when one is menstruating (a hot condition). Emotionalistic disease theories assume that emotional experiences cause illness. For example, Latin Americans may develop susto, or soul loss, an illness caused by anxiety or fright (Bolton 1981; Finkler 1985). Its symptoms include lethargy, vagueness, and distraction. Of course, modern psychoanalysis also focuses on the role of the emotions in physical and psychological well-being.
