                            My degree, my country, and my world



            Education plays a very important role in making my life as complete and fulfilling as possible. While in school there were many goals that I have to set for myself. These goals are to make my future rewarding. To achieve my goals I must make important decisions about my education. The decisions I make will affect my future.  I love to learn new ideas, and I have bright plans for my future. I have always wanted to be in the health field. I believe that helping others is very important. Luckily i could  follow the health promotion degree in the university. To achieve my desires, I must work and study hard and long before I graduate. I must try very hard to do my best in university and stay focused on what I want out of life. 
            Heath is created and lived by people in the settings of everyday life ; where they learn, work, play and love. Health has two ways to engage with people. those are health education and health promotion. the term health promotion denotes a specific approach that can be used in protecting health and promoting well being; an approach that enables people to address the determinants of health and increase control over them in order to improve their health. health promotion activities are based on engaging with and strengthening community action, developing personal skills, creating supportive environments, building healthy public policy, and reorienting health services to move beyond a bio-medical perspective. The biomedical model of health focuses on purely biological factors and excludes psychological, environmental, and social influences.   
                                        Health promotion seeks to influence socio-cultural, economic and political factors in order to create and sustain environments favorable to attaining positive health. whilst individuals are able to make informed choices that are appropriate to their own situations, the focus on community motivated change encourages sustainability. keeping health promotion at the heart of the development strategy ensures that top-down approaches are replaced with community centered bottom up ones. 
                  Health promotion mainly focused to the community not only individuals so this degree is most valuable for the whole country to improve their well being to highest levels. when improve their overall well being including mental, physical, and social it cause to increase their happiness level and create a happy country.
                           In addition to helping people to get the ability to practice a healthy lifestyle, empowerment strategies should enable people for full participation in national and community level health actions. Should help people to develop social and political skills, such as resource mobilization, negotiation, lobbying, problem solving, and communication skills. so that people can take steps to meet their needs and aspirations and influences that physical, social, cultural, and environmental conditions that effect their health. 
             Health education can be understood as a component of health promotion. Health promotion and education both aim at improving access to health related information and services to give people more control over their health and well being. The concept reffed to here deals not only with dissemination of simple health facts, but also other information and skills, information on how to prevent diseases is important. The workshops on illness such as ; breast cancer, prostate cancers, diabetes, HIV aids and cervical cancer are equally important in helping to prevent these diseases within the community. Community participation and leaner involvement are shared principles of health education. Both health educators and adult educators within the community should be aware of the importance of health promotion. This will help community organisation to educate its members. better educated people have better access to information about illnesses. making information and services available and improving health literacy are therefore crucial to any attempt to combat major diseases.                                   
                       According to these factors health promotion is  a subject which spread to allover the world. This concept builds on a social and cultural understanding of health and illness. Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over their health through advocacy and intersectoral action. So i think  health promotion will can build a happy, healthy country and world in the future.
