The walk is a guarantee to individuals suffering from mental illnesses that they are never alone. Living mentally healthy is essential, but it is also a challenge as statistics show that over forty million people in America will experience a mental condition (Ispot.tv, 2019). Mental illness can manifest in the form of depression, multi personal disorders, schizophrenia, and anxiety. “The Health Benefit Model (HBM) was developed initially in the 1950s by social psychologists in the U.S. Public Health Service to explain the widespread failure of people to participate in programs to prevent and detect disease” (Champion& Skinner, 2020, 46).

The initial discovery was a result of the effort of American-based scientists who work tirelessly at the Robert Weinberg Group. The group was divided into three based on the geographical location.

Persons of Interest in A Midsummer Night’s Dream In my opinion, I think the most fascinating character in the play is Puck. It is this quick-witted and mischievous fairy that sets many events in the play into motion using his magic. Puck uses both deliberate pranks and unfortunate mistakes on human characters to make the play more interesting. The whole play is permeated with Puck’s evocative and lovely language, his magical fancy, his unpredictable spirit, and his fun-loving humor. Shakespeare presents Puck as a good-hearted fairy yet capable of pulling cruel tricks on human characters. Unlike other fairies in the play, which are presented as being ethereal and beautiful, Puck has a somewhat bizarre look. Buts, despite his strange looks, I find him to be very adorable, especially his lack of mindfulness. For example, there is a time when Oberon sent Puck to fetch a love portion to be used to stop the Athenian lovers from wrangling: “Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew’d thee once” (Oberon in Act II, Scene i). We later discover that Puck unfortunately…

Life in Canada Before I came to university, I could have agreed with the National bank’s article: ‘Quality of life in Canada.’ Because Canada is a developed country, and I usually assumed the government is adequately working to boost the social and political capabilities of the nation. But by the content in article two, my assumptions might have been wrong. Anyway, it all depends on a person’s social background. Before I joined university; my neighbourhood had adequate resources in term of quality and quantity. And I assumed social determinants were equal to every Canadian, turns out I was wrong. Social determinants are the necessary conditions that determine the overall performance of the society at large (Raphael, 2017, p.41). In other words, determinants will control the possibility of staying healthy or becoming sick. Also, social determinants are the level of an individual’s physical and social capabilities to achieve the desired goal. After I came across the second article, it was clear that social determinants vary amongst Canada citizens. According to research, citizens consistently provide adequate information to the government concerning…
