3. Overview of Units 1-4 HHD(Year 11 & 12) • The VCE Health and Human Development study approaches the concept of ‘development’ as a continuum, that begins with individual human development in Units 1 and 2 and progresses towards human development at a societal level in Unit 4. • In Units 1 and 2 the study of human development is about individual change, that is a continuous lifelong process that begins at conception and continues until death. Individual human developmental changes are cumulative; development that occurs in the future is dependent upon development occurring in the past.

5. Chapter 1: Introducing health and human development • Objectives: • 1. Defining health and its limitations • 2. The dimensions of health and their interrelationships Task: GKR - What is meant by the term “health”? In pairs, draw a picture of a healthy person, and discuss as a class what your definition of health is.

6. Defining health • Health as defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) 1946: “A state of complete physical, emotional and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” • Wellbeing is the state of being healthy, happy and contented, usually determined through self -assessment.

7. Ottawa Charter definition of health This definition builds on the WHO definition and identifies eight prerequisites for health: • peace • shelter • education • food • income • stable ecosystem • sustainable resources • social justice and equity

8. Health is a form of homeostasis; which is the property within a living organism that regulates its internal and external environment to maintain stability and constancy. • Health and wellbeing are active states. This is a term used to describe health because is it greatly affected by factors such as lifestyle and behaviour choices, food and nutrition and environmental influences. • Clip - Homer Simpson goes to the gym: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4i8SpNgzA4

9. Limitations of health definitions • There is debate about the accuracy of the definition of health as it is rare for somebody to be completely healthy as described by the WHO, it is also possible for a person to be free of disease, but not healthy. • Most Australian information about health relates to mortality (rates of deaths) or morbidity (rates of disease).

10. The dimensions of health and their interrelationships • There are three dimensions of overall health: • 1. PHYSICAL HEALTH Relates to the efficient functioning of the body and its systems, and includes the physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness. • Resistance to disease • Energy, strength and coordination • Ability to recover from illness and injury • Ability to maintain a healthy weight • Fitness • Nutritional status

11. 2. SOCIAL HEALTH Being able to interact with others and participate in the community in both an independent and cooperative way. • Develop and maintain relationships • Communicate with others • Behave appropriately • Contribute to community • Access and use support systems and resources

12. 3. MENTAL HEALTH State of wellbeing in which the individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. • Express emotions • Positive self-esteem and self-confidence • Cope with and manage stress • Capacity to love, work and play Complete Act 1.2, Qs 1&2 (pg 6).

Explain. 2. Case study • Read the case study you have been given and underline or highlight the key terms and ideas. • Fill in the table by identifying the examples from the case study to show the interrelationship between the different dimensions of health.
