Document Summary
The four ethno-etiologies discussed in the health and medicine chapter are personalistic, naturalistic, emotionalistic, and biomedical. Personalistic is when a person views that the disease or illness that they have occurred because of who the exact person is or what they did to cause that illness to occur. Or if you did something bad you got ill as a result of punishment. Unlike personalistic, naturalistic is not the person that caused the disease but a natural force such as heat caused the body to be imbalanced. Emotionalisitic is when a person becomes ill due to your body in a fright state. Such as stress from losing your job can be why you have difficulty sleeping. Biomedical is a theory that there are hundreds of types of bacteria or viruses that can cause a type of illness or disease. Culture is responsible for how people experience health and disease.
