The correct answer is D. The cultural meaning of illness

Explanation:

In societies, cultural meaning refers to the ideas, definitions, beliefs, etc. people in their culture have about some aspect or situation. In the case of the cultural meaning of illness, it refers to the ideas, beliefs, etc. related to a condition or illness and that is not based on medicine but in all beliefs, personal experience, and similar.

The case presented is an example of the cultural meaning of illness because due to people observing mostly gay men die and due to their lack of knowledge they understood HIV as the "gay cancer" rather than as a sexually transmitted disease that can affect anybody which means people created ideas, beliefs, etc. about this disease that was related to the culture and also to personal beliefs or prejudice.

Why are command economies usually less efficient than market economies?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
I can give you my take on it:

In command economies the quantity and more importantly the prize of the products is decided by the government and not by the people in production. As a result, people in the production can't have the motivation of producing more, as they won't benefit from it. So command economy encourages low motivation among the workers (i believe this was the case in the Eastern Block)
