Question 1
What insights do post-modernist perspectives provide and what might this mean for health practice?
(
The post modernist perceptions not only believe in increasing the quality of life but also in alleviating the healthcare norms so that the best outputs are delivered in terms of care. The perception is expanded over the belief that individuality and professionalism are two core values that should be applied to all segments of health practice. The overall integration of healthcare values is not limited to patient’s care but also it is extended to the wellbeing of the professionals who are involved in it (Trochim, 019).
The postmodernist approach to health is predicted by holistic views of well-being and the belief in individual responsibility for achieving health. As seen in population surveys, people in post-modernist positions reject medical influence, hold consumerist views, and prefer chemical medicines for natural
goods.
In

healthcare, therefore, the positive
interventions of nature are
seen promptly in the light of the fact that natural objects are healthy. They are more like something that can help as the functional medium to not only alleviates the modern principles of care but also they can reduce the long lasting
side effects of the medicines
. It helps in making inferences between the services offered and the actual services received with degree of quality

Question 2
Despite increases in funding, explain why in Australia, Indigenous health outcomes are still an issue? Provide examples to illustrate your argument.
(
For governments in Australia, improving the health status of indigenous people in Aus
tralia is a long-standing issue (Lee & Ride, 2018).
The difference between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians in health status remains unacceptably wide. It has been described by United Nations committees as a human rights concern; and accepted by Australian governments as such. The lack of equitable access to primary health care and the lower level of health facilities in Indigenous communities (healthy housing, food, sanitation etc) relative to other Australians are important determinants of Indigenous health inequalities in Australia. There is no fair opportunity for Indigenous people to be as health
y as non-Indigenous Australians (Gwynn et al, 2019).
Compared to non-indigenous people, the relative socioeconomic disadvantage faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders puts them at higher risk of exposure to risk factors for behavioral and environmental health. It is due to the fact that the it stresses the accountability of governments within various sectors of civil society for socio-economic outcomes by treating these outcomes as a matter of legal duty to be measured against the standards defined by the human rights system. Thus, having fund availability and its disbursement at times does not yield desired consequences in terms of quality care delivery.

Question 3
Psychiatry can be viewed as an institute of social control. Draw on sociological theories and examples to discuss this statement.
(
Psychiatrists who work to authorize a defense of insanity or mental capacity within the justice system add another dimension of social regulation of medicine. Institutionalization itself is a form of medical social regulation, but institutionalization may also have been a form of change to a group environment.

Of course, the notion that psychiatry is an institution of s
ocial influence is a common one (
Ventriglio
et al, 2015).
The actual processes whereby the philosophical foundation of psychiatry allows this power to be exercised have, however, been little investigated. Little attention has also been paid to psychiatry's other social function: the provision of treatment. By exploring the role of diagnosis in promoting social regulation, and especially the implications of its medical existence, Coulter and ignobly took up the theme
(Bhugra & malik, 2010).
The experiment by Rosenhan showed the process of initial application of a psychiatric mark, but few people have yet investigated the way a psychiatric diagnosis works once applied in specific psychiatric settings over the life of patients.

Since psychiatry is able to establish the frame of reference for what is considered normal and what is considered abnormal, it is, of cour
se, a form of social regulation (Munk et al, 2010).
