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.

Explanation:

In recent years, women's conception of happy ending to their life story has changed. The traditional dream of finding the right man, getting married, having children, and being happily ever after has given way to the desire to gain a place in the job market and be professionally successful.

Marion's attitude of abandoning her successful career to care only for her son and home and being happy about it is a less common attitude today. From this we can conclude that Marion's choice is not typical of today's professional women; they are more apt to want to have a career and a family
