Question

Answer 1

According to the theory of Conflict Perspective

Step-by-step explanation:

Conflict perspective theory suggests that issues with the healthcare system, in comparism with other social problems are rooted in Capitalist society. According to conflict theorists, capitalism and the quest for profit leads to the commodification of health; a change in something that was not considered as a commodity initially to something that can be purchased and traded in marketplaces. In lieu of this, people who have money and power( i.e the dominant group) makes decisions on how healthcare system is to be run. This ensures they have a better healthcare services and crippling the lesser groups to stay subordinate or less privileged through the lack of access.

Along with disparities in the health created by class inequalities, with the commodification of health; the poor are more likely to experience illness caused by poor diet, to live and work in unhealthy environments, and are less likely to challenge the system.
