In Sickness and in Wealth (Unnatural Causes)
First off wow! This so far has been my favorite film we have watched. It was really eye-opening to see the link between our health and money status. The film definitely showed the flaws of our "non-universal" health care center. It was also amazing to see the link between stress and how much money we have. I was for sure it would have been opposite than what they proved. I always thought that people with more money, meant they had more important jobs that would lead to very stressful jobs. The film proved that people with less money actually have higher amounts of stress due to the never-ending thoughts of losing a job, providing food for a family, and having a place to live. From my personal experience, I have very high amounts of stress. I'm a college student takes 18 hours, has 3 jobs, and I'm married. After watching the film, it really made me think about how I am treating my body with all the stress I have. They say that stress produces cortisol which is good during certain activities but only for a short amount of time. I am definitely going to revaluate some of the things I do and desperately try to cut back on my stress level.
