- - - - Globalization: how nations, peoples, and economies are becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent (Trends in Public Health - Globalization and Public Health, n.d.).
        
        Pros: easier spread of information and coordination between nations. Ability to rapidly share research, provide tech and financial support (Trends in Public Health - Globalization and Public Health, n.d.).
        
        Cons: faster travel also means it's much easier for disease to spread to different areas others which might make it harder for researchers to track the origin. Can also make it much harder to contain (Trends in Public Health - Globalization and Public Health, n.d.).
        
        One Health: with the rapid growth of mankind, we move into closer contact with the ecosystem such as, the environment and animals. While there are benefits, it also gives rise to more public health threats. This complex relationship between man, animal, and the environment has led to the need for more study into how each element effects the other (CDC, 2018).
        
        Plant life feeds both us and the animals. Fruits and vegetables are a driving force in keeping people healthy and improving public health. Unfortunately aggressive farming and deforestation leads to both climate change and takes away land for animals to thrive (CDC, 2018).
        
        Animals are more frequently in contact with humans now that we take up more land. Meat is more easily accessible to be caught and sold. The downside is the easier spread of diseases from animals to humans (CDC, 2018).
    - - Economic Determinants: Having a stable income to support needs. This includes being able to afford health food, housing, and adequate healthcare. Lack of stable income often leads to poverty, poor education, and healthcare (Social Determinants of Health - Healthy People 2030 | Health.gov, n.d.).
      - Social Determinants: conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks (Social Determinants of Health - Healthy People 2030 | Health.gov, n.d.).
        
        Political Determinants: policies that affect a populations health.This may include; unsafe neighborhoods, adequate/inadequate modes of transportation, lack of healthy food options. Those in living higher income areas, tend to have more accessible modes of transportation, better security in neighborhoods, and access to higher quality of food (Social Determinants of Health - Healthy People 2030 | Health.gov, n.d.).
