Practical Suggestions

You have a fascinating topic, and I would suggest you take advantage of that. To make this wiki page relevant to the class, I would suggest you add a section on the Canadian Health Care System, and perhaps the inequalities in Canadian Health Care and Health. This could include sub-sections such as “Race/ Ancestry and Health”, “Gender and Health”, “Sexual Orientation and Health”, and “Social Class and Health”. Also, you might also want to consider adding a section on “Globalization and Health” which could include Growing Global Inequality (Disease, Malnutrition, etc.), Borderless Diseases (HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Tuberculosis, Avian Flu, etc.), and also improvements in health and health care.

Since our first module of this class was “Constructions of Health and Illness in the Western World”, I particularly enjoyed the sections “Health and Social Constructivism” and “Relationship between Health and Culture”, by including what we learned, such as the instability and historical contingency of the terms health and illness, though you can build on these by incorporating “how our understandings and experiences of 'health' and 'illness' are embedded in their cultural contexts and enmeshed with issues of gender, national and racial identity, technology, consumption, and social change” (Class Module).

I was a little confused about the use of the word “Health” and “Wellness” in your introduction, which are used interchangeably. According to the World Health Organization’s definitions, the two words having completely different meanings. The link for citation “Future Implications” is non-functional. On the whole, you have a great intriguing wiki entry, and because of this, I highly recommend you add links to other wiki entries or exterior websites for further information. Overall, awesome job! :)
