3 0

Over the past several decades medical sociology has become a major subdiscipline of sociology, at the same time assuming an increasingly conspicuous role in health care disciplines such as public health, health care management, nursing, and clinical medicine. The name medical sociology garners immediate recognition and legitimacy and, thus, continues to be widely used—for instance, to designate the Medical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association—even though most scholars in the area concede that the term is narrow and misleading. Many courses and texts, rather than using the term "sociology of medicine," refer instead to the sociology of health, health and health care, health and illness, health and medicine, or health and healing. The study of medicine is only part of the sociological study of health and health care, a broad field ranging from (1) social epidemiology, the study of socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral factors in the etiology of disease and mortality; to (2) studies of the development and organizational dynamics of health occupations and professions, hospitals, health maintenance and long-term care organizations, including interorganizational relationships as well as interpersonal behavior, for example, between physician and patient; to (3) the reactions of societies to illness, including cultural meanings and normative expectations and, reciprocally, the reactions of individuals in interpreting, negotiating, managing, and socially constructing illness experience; to (4) the social policies, social movements, politics, and economic conditions that shape and are shaped by health and disease within single countries, as well as in a comparative, international context.

hi guys help me out ! i want to write 4 paragraph about when i make my hobby as career (my hobbyis dancing) plz make fast​
Furkat [3]

Dancing is not my sport, it’s my passion that I want to work hard for and in my spare time I put more effort into it and I never want to give it up no matter what. When the day arrives for me to compete in the dancing competition that I have to put everything I have learned in years.  I seldom get exhausted on the floor on dancing even I am dancing alone in my home and I never want to give up because my urge is to be the best dancer in my school.

I found that one must keep doing a dance in my spare time in order to become an expert in this sport. One must also make sure their customer also matches the music they are dancing on. When you perform in front of many people that is the most exciting part. We make sure that our hair, clothes, makeup are according to a situation before we hit the floor. One must also make sure to have a stretch before they start to dance in their team`s room.

When our team is next in line, everyone in the team feels excited to show their latent talent on the stage. When we are on the stage all dancers are hooking up and waiting for their turn to show it to the audience. After announcers announce our team name, we just dance our head out in the middle of the floor with full zeal.

Now all pressure is on your team when the music starts so it’s time to show the world your true talent. We received a standing ovation when the music ends and everyone in the hall stands up and we walk back to our room filled with excitement and anxiously waiting to receive the award in the award ceremony. When every time is done from their part, we were waiting to get awarded if our name comes into the three best teams. Finally, we heard that the school that took second place is … [school name].

Suddenly, excited screams fill at the stage which made every dancer of our team jumping, hugging and screaming with joy with one another as a second-place we took in our first competition of year [year].

We visited our family to cheer them too and our friends too. When we bring gifts to our family and friends like shirts, ice cream or flowers are our exciting moments. We advise dancers not to eat much before dancing so they can easily make dancing moves. We often exchange hugs and give best wishes to every dancer that they also take any position in the competition.
