Introduction
The World Health Organization created the prerequisites of health back in 1986. They decided that the fundamental conditions and resources of health should include peace, shelter, education, food, income, a stable eco-system, sustainable resources, and social justice and equity. ("The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion", 2017). Today we face a social issue that affect many children in United States and the world, lack of education. In this case, I want to examine children affected specifically by poverty and bullying. Why I decided on this two factors? Because is something that I see day to day.

It ensures not only survival but also the general satisfaction of the species. It’s, therefore, integral to health. The prerequisites and prospects for health cannot be guaranteed by the health sector alone. It requires an inter-sectorial approach as has been shown above. Each citizen, community, societies, nations and the world as a whole must play their part. Each person should bear the responsibility of their actions and consequences of such actions to health. The health sectors should mediate between these diverse sectors with differing interests to achieve health of every individual in the community
Belonginess
Human being have a strong need to feel inclusive in all aspects of live. The sense to belong to our community increases our chance to maintain a good health. It is the human nature to build relationships by doing and participating in things together. Most of us create relationships by being part of a family, community, or organization. Belonginess includes things such as family, home, friends, acceptance, land and closeness. This sense to belong to something and to have a support system in our life is what encourages us to keep growing. Maslow believed that belongingness was so important in human life that an absence could result in a sense of maladjustment, lowliness and alienation (1987). It is believed as well that the need to belong has a strong effect on a person’s emotions, cognition and behaviors and negative consequences can deeply affect a person’s
To belong with a person or group it means that we are accepted and tolerated and that we feel safe and have a sense security when we are with that person or group, belonging can influence us in many ways, it can change our sense of self and the way we perceive the world. The way our family and friends influence us changes our sense of self and who we are. The Memoir The Happiest Refugee By Anh Do, this memoir shows how when Anh Do arrived in Australia he did not belong due to his non-english background, Anh overcame many issues on his journey to belong and now is treated as a full Australian citizen.
A common human characteristic is the yearning to feel a sense of belonging through connections and different forms of relationships made in life. A sense of belonging or not belonging can emerge from feeling connected to people and places, whether they have been freely cast there or not. An individual will only feel a true sense of belonging through the understanding of those connections, which are created by experiences and can only come within.
The concept of belonging is a fundamental human need, That is, According to Abraham Maslow.
An individual 's sense of belonging is determined not only by their own choices but also attitudes of others.
Belonging can be defined as the process of the association with the human race as socially active characters. It is part of the human condition which represents the need for security, safety and acceptance. An aspect of belonging such as isolation can be associated with the concept of belonging, as not belonging is a reciprocal process of belonging. Belonging allows for the authentication of characters through the formation of identity and connections.
An individual’s sense of belonging is determined not only by their own choices but also by the attitudes of others.
health of our fellow people should be a priority for every human being on this planet. Many
‘An individual’s interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experience of belonging.’
Public health is "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals" (1920, C.E.A. Winslow). This therefore infers public health is the preventing and controlling of disease within communities, to prolong life and promote health through organised society. The keys aspects of public health …
“We belong … like fish in water. We’re in our environment.” This quote from the New York Times shows the perception of belonging as the idea about connecting to a place, person, group or a community. 'Feliks Skrzynecki' by Peter Skrzynecki, 'I'm nobody! Who are you?' by Emily Dickinson and 'The Rabbits' by John Marsden & Shaun Tan show the concept of belonging as being contrasted towards the New York Times quote, showing the alienation and non-existent connection towards it. These texts have furthered my understanding on the perceptions of belonging by recognising the different concepts of connection to people, places and things.
With the focus on these five areas, Governments in each country are creating health systems that aim to provide services that are affordable, equitable and accessible. To achieve a sustainable health system, cooperation and participation of all health care providers is vital. This will work towards WHO’s goal of achieving “better health for all”
In public health, as in many fields there are a set of conundrums that practitioners, leaders and law makers have to address in order to provide the most appropriate service to their populations. One of these conundrums is the battle between what is good for the community vs. what is good for the individual. This topic will be broken up to the community vs. the individual, and discussed based on research done by Kass et al, and Oriola, and will be concluded by presenting possible solutions.
All practitioners that come into contact with children and young people share a statutory responsibility of safeguarding also promoting welfare, regardless of the individual’s role. In order for practitioners and organisations to work together effectively, they should be aware of the role they play in the area of safeguarding children and young people. According to the Department of Education “safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility” Department of Education (2016)
Nathan DeWall, a Psychologist at the University of Kentucky says that “Humans have a fundamental need to belong. Just as we have needs for food and water, we also have needs for positive and lasting relationships.” The need to belong can be so strong that we are willing to change who we are just to belong to a group. Most times it is small changes. For people who are people pleasers, we will go out of our way to help others, even if that means we are neglecting ourselves, just to get their approval.
In conclusion, one of the stages of Maslow’s hierarchy of need is love and belonging, Often times we feel the need to want to belong in the society. As humans, we are social creatures – we relate to people as no one is an island. However, In today’s society where some neighbors end up taking on the role of extended family and becoming our friends due to the distance from our family, we sure want to have a good neighbor. Nevertheless, most people have considered the neighborhood they want to live in, considering the community and most importantly ensuring their neighbor is a good person. Neighborliness is all about decorum and understanding. Fortunately, most people try to cultivate the traits of a good neighbor, which is not difficult to imbibe.
