Answer to Question 1

Sociologists define medicine as a society's standard ways of dealing with sickness and injury. Sickness and health are socially constructed because they are matters of definition that vary by culture. In some tribal societies, for example, a person who talks to spirits may be declared a shaman who would be entrusted to treat medical problems. In another society, this same behavior might be grounds to declare someone mentally ill.

Answer to Question 2

the ego-involved; the concerned; the insecure; the curious; the exploiters
