Hi Dr. L
If I remember my Latin at all (good heavens, that was over 40 years ago) the prefix exo
is outside of and the prefix endo--is within or inside of. Bill--correct me if I am
wrong. I know exogamy is outside the group and endogamy is within the group in regard
to marriage. I keep trying to remember my Latin as the c.j. system loves Latin
phrases
it seems <g>. I have a simplified scheme for understanding words--doesn't always work
though. Legal = Latin--get your Latin dictionary out
Sociologists love any word that ends in "zation"--means "process of" in my
simplified cataloging of words. Ex: urbanization--process of becomin
an urban society. Sociologists invent words simply by putting "zation"
at the end. : )
Anything ending in "ology" means study of--that one throws me sometimes
though--Doc what is pathology--the study of paths??? <g>
In regard to self-esteem (MOO), the ole' chicken and egg debate rears its ugly head.
Does level of self-esteem occur before changes in the autonomic and other systems or
after the changes?? Evidence shows that depression and self-esteem are correlated but
which comes first? I would think that anyone living in poor environmental conditions
would have a lowered self-esteem which may affect their ability to ward off negative
changes in the body and lower their resistence to disease, etc. or vice versa. Merely
my own opinion on this, however, but based on my work with the chemical dependency unit
at the hospital--poor coping skills (use of drugs) is correlated with poor self-esteem,
usually for women (societal influence here); both drug use and self-esteem are also
correlated with abuse (victim and perpetrator for women), depression and other
psychological disorders, Also, poor diet & nutrition which is a big factor. And how
do people in lower socioeconomic classes ensure they have a proper diet and have good
nutritional habits. Educational level may have a bearing here--do they know about good
nutrition and diet? Even if they know, can they afford it?? Questions such as intake
of carbohydrates, sugar, etc. becomes an issue. How does that contribute to
self-esteem
and to the ability to stay healthy and ward off disease? All these factors may
contribute to a person's reaction to stressors in the environment--power line
emissions,
radon, chlorine in the water, pcbs and on and on, I would think. Perhaps the same
level
of pollution may affect a person differently based on all these things and perhaps the
result is a disparity in mortality rates--infant and adult.
Also, dDoes a lowered self-esteem contribute to a person's willingness to engage in
risk-taking and criminal activity in an effort to increase self-esteem in neigborhoods
that have little opportunity to increase self-esteem in other more positive ways??
Oh dear, I can ramble can't I. Probably posted more than you ever wanted to know. I
promise I will try to be more concise--hah, knowing me.
