3 similarities between ancient and emerging ecological paradigm of the 20th
century - answer Human health is affected by lifestyle, environment, and
economic factors
- 1) Body consists of four liquids (blood, phlegm, black/yellow bile).
Equilibrium of fluids is equal to health
- 2) Environment: Weather and pollutants can affect health

True
How did the Germ Paradigm's explanation of the spread of illness differ from
that of the Miasma Theory? - answer - Germs are from people, water,

In his Chapter "The Social Ecological Paradigm of Wellness Promotion"
Stokols describes 5 core assumptions of the social-ecological perspective.

2) participants in those environments can be studied at varying levels
ranging from individuals, small groups, and organizations to larger
communities and populations
List one factor that allowed the Romans to support a city population 6 to 10
times larger than any other city in its time. - answer - aqueducts, sewages,

False.
Differences in culture. Nevada has high drug/alcohol users while Utah has
