| Abstract | Most of us acknowledge that being healthy is a desirable goal. But what does it mean to be healthy in the 21st century? This article begins to explore the idea of health. It begins to ask questions about where the idea of health comes from, what it means to different people in different places and why it should matter. As society has been increasingly confronted with the realities of a more economically and technologically driven global society, health has evolved from the human sciences into new spheres, such as politics, economics, popular culture, commerce and religion, where it has arguably taken on new meanings. Health is not simply an optimum “number,” “percentage” or “determinant,” nor is it a problem with a simple solution. The full story of health is the unfolding journey of an idea and how this idea is changing the way we think, feel and act in today’s context. |
