Social Health

Two faces of the same coin

The chapter states that 'Health education and social health are like the two faces of the same coin.' This metaphor means they are closely related and inseparable - you cannot have one without the other. Health education provides the knowledge and awareness needed for social health, while social health is the practical application of health education in society. They are not different concepts (option A), not opposite (option C), and not independent (option D), but rather complementary aspects of the same goal.

To create a society free of diseases

Creating a society free of diseases is one of the key necessities of social health mentioned in the chapter. The other necessities include improving health of every society member, developing peace and cooperation, and helping people lead happy, healthy lives. Government revenue (option A) is not a direct necessity of social health, individual competition (option C) goes against the cooperative nature of social health, and population control (option D) is not mentioned as a necessity of social health in the chapter.

Spitting, sneezing and dirtying

The chapter specifically mentions that 'Spitting, sneezing and dirtying in public places should be avoided' as one of the important measures to maintain social health. These actions can spread diseases and contaminate public spaces, affecting everyone's health. Talking loudly (option A), walking slowly (option C), and using mobile phones (option D) may be social etiquette issues but are not specifically mentioned as social health concerns in this context.

Dispose them only in places meant for their disposal

The chapter clearly states that 'The waste organic products should be disposed of only in places meant for their disposal.' This ensures proper waste management and prevents contamination of the environment. Throwing waste anywhere (option A) causes pollution and disease spread, burning immediately (option C) can cause air pollution, and burying in any open ground (option D) can contaminate soil and water sources. Designated disposal areas are equipped to handle waste properly.
