    Values, Norms, and Good Health Behaviors

    Some of the values we have are indeed good ones that sallow us to be able to make good choices. As the book said, the values we have can change. Sometimes these changes are good as they allow us to see what is right and wrong. Also, some of the Norms nowadays are ones that increase healthy behaviors. For instance, the big push for healthy eating is quite normal now a days. This is causing for individuals to eat healthier, giving them a healthier life.

    Values, Norms, and Bad Health Behaviors

    In the book, it discusses how our set values are subject to change as we continue to grow. One of the examples the book gave was of how the experiences and things that we are taught in school often end up shaping how we think of in different topics. Even video games can change our values, or even movies. The book also discussed the Norms of society. Now a days, one big norm is that women have to look a certain way. So women make be heath decision in order to do the norm.

    Experience

    At track the long distance girls just get to go off and run. So you can run by yourself. I was tempted to do the norm and just walk some but I made the decision to keep running even if I want to stop.
