Critical Thinking Paper. Due by Day 7. You have been asked to organize a community health fair at a local public school. The health fair will provide information and education on the following topics related to health promotion:

Immunizations

Importance of healthy diet and exercise

Avoidance of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol

Responsible sexual behaviors (use of condoms, risk of sexually transmitted infections including HIV, and

Injury and violence prevention (motor vehicle crashes, firearms, poisonings, suffocation, falls, fires, and drowning) 

The volunteers who will be manning the stations are from the health care community (i.e., doctors, nurses, dieticians, and social workers).

In a three- to four-page paper (excluding title and reference pages), address the following points:

Describe the differences.

Describe the role, if any, social control will play in the development of the educational materials

Presented by differentiating health and wellness rituals among people of different cultures.
