Health care as a means of social control: An argument against galvanizing through education
Atticus Wolfe
University of Minnesota School of Public Health
Abstract
The operating assumptions that underlie conscious and subconscious frameworks are shaped by group norms and socialization from the various cultures and communities in which we engage. As such, the frameworks inherent in Western, and more specifically American, individuals tend toward individualistic dispositions. This results from the culture of capitalistic consumerism and human rights violations that remain largely unquestioned.
