Alvin Toffler – Future Shock 1970 • “To survive, to avert what we have termed future shock, the individual must become infinitely more adaptable and capable than ever before. We must search out totally new ways to anchor ourselves, for all the old roots - religion, nation, community, family, or profession - are now shaking under the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust.
Sense of coherence.... “.....expresses the extent to which one has a feeling of confidence that the stimuli deriving from one's internal and external environments in the course of living are structured, predictable and explicable, that one has the internal resources to meet the demands posed by these stimuli and, finally, that these demands are seen as challenges, worthy of investment and engagement."

Do social conditions determine the incidence of disease? • For centuries they have and they still do in the developing world • Plague, leprosy, polio, diphtheria, typhoid, tuberculosis • BUT in the developed countries • It is mainly our physiological responseto social conditions which largely determines our risk of chronic ill health
Focuses on problems, needs and deficiencies in a community such as deprivation, illness and health damaging behaviours. It designs services to fill the gaps and fix the problems.

Alienation and Frankenstein • "I came across people, other beings which I could see were almost like myself. Or so I thought at first when I approached them, though, I found that they did not consider me as one of their own kind. As soon as they saw me, their faces became twisted with fear.

Even though I had given them no cause, all men hated me."
