and services, and life expectancy. Today, the term health has gained more and broader

discrimination and climate change. Review the reasons and implications for this
broader definition of health.

Question 3
Industrialisation is regarded as a necessary evil in the attainment of a modern society
and development. Whilst the need for modernisation is recognised, we are on the one
hand warned against the negative socio-economic consequences generated by
industrialisation and modernity, and on the other, the ruinous effect it has on the
livelihoods, the environment and ecology. Review these consequences with specific
reference to developing nations.
