You have explored wellness through the four general lenses of the general education program.

For this module, you are preparing your final project, bringing together the work from the previous weeks into a portfolio and a presentation. Issues and events in wellness can affect us in direct or indirect ways.

For example, consider the impact of environment on wellness and vice versa.

For the purposes of this module, we are using environment to refer to the physical space that surrounds us.

This goes beyond the scientific understanding of environment as the natural world, ecosystem, or biosphere and also incorporates a sociological understanding of environment that factors urban design, public planning, and access to resources.

The social determinants of health continue to be relevant as you continue to explore the environmental aspects of wellness beyond this class, such as food deserts, urban design for walking and biking, air/noise/chemical pollution, and urban gardening.

Environmental wellness impacts all the people who live in a community.

For instance, consider the access to healthy water that has impacted the city of Flint, Michigan (Flint Water Crisis Fast Facts) or the island of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria (About 1 Million Americans Without Running Water).

Water is one of the most vital substances to our wellness, and without access to clean water, we are unable to stay hydrated and are susceptible to waterborne illnesses.

Other examples include the concerns raised about the health of communities in the path of the Keystone Pipeline (4 Key Impacts of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines) or those situated around mines (Selected Health Issues in Mining PDF).

The people who work on those projects are directly impacted, but so are the people in the nearby community, animals, and the earth.

There are examples of communities making a positive impact on wellness. For instance, the city of Detroit, Michigan, has launched community gardens as a solution for both reclaiming abandoned land and for feeding the people in the neighborhood ( 10 Detroit Urban Farms Rooting Goodness Into the City).

Other cities are reviewing their design and infrastructure to develop more public park space, improved walking and biking access, and ease of access to public transportation.

This week, you will submit Final Project Part One, your analysis of your issue or event in wellness through the four general education lenses, and Part Two, a multimedia presentation in which you have a chance to reflect on what you have learned about your issue or event, yourself, and wellness through analyzing its impact on society through the four lenses.

Instructions

Submit your final portfolio—an analysis of an issue or event in wellness through the four general education lenses: history, humanities, social sciences, and natural and applied sciences.

Note: Be sure to incorporate instructor feedback from your final project milestones into this final submission, particularly Milestones One, Two, and Four.

To complete this assignment, review the Final Project Part One Guidelines and Rubric PDF document.
