WHO considers social, cultural, and economic factors to be major determinants of ill-health, the causes behind the causes of morbidity and mortality. In 2004, WHO established a high-level commission, the Commission on Social Determinants of Health, to develop plans that address key social determinants of health, including the health of children (see http //www.who.int/social determinants). 

Adorno rejects the ideological construct of genuineness, by exposing its social determination. But more than this, to insist on genuineness is to make an ahuman gesture, for humanness resides in imitation, the un-genuine, the reproduced. All human life is an imitation, a learnt response, a playful... 

They emphasized the social determinants of disease - the health consequences of poverty, stress, and the social isolation created by artificial hierarchies based on race, income, wealth, and class - combined with poor nutrition, insufficient recreational opportunities, inadequate health care, and exposure to toxicants. They thus broke down the barrier -which had been created in the original National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 - between environmental issues and socioeconomic issues. 

Eating behaviour when, where, and how much a person eats is governed as much, if not more, by psychological and social determinants as by physiological signals...

Of course this sentaice is laden with value judgements that as critics of the risk tolerability framework have pointed out are socially determined and imply an equal distribution of information, power, influence and control in decision making processes and their social and economic underpinningB that critics also argue to be a frir cry from reality. 

The big-picture view of your work offers many opportunities. One opportunity is to re-brand yourself as serving in an occupation within the field of public health. In December 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued their Healthy People 2020 agenda. Within Healthy People 2020, safety of workplaces is found in the new category Social Determinants of Health. Social determinants of health hold to the premise that people who live in neighborhoods with safe parks, good schools, and high employment rates are provided with some of the key requirements to better health. 

The concept that safety in the workplace is a social determinant of health has strong global support. ISO standard 26000 2010 Guidance on Social Responsibility (final release October 2010) was developed and approved by the largest multistakeholder group ever to work on an ISO standard. Health and safety at work falls within the core subject of Labour Practices. Labour practices interrelate with the other ISO 26000 core subjects Human Rights Community Involvement and Development Consumer Issues Fair Operating Practices and the Environment. 

One can imagine the scorn he would pour upon Freud, as a bourgeois ideologue out to fix human nature beyond all social determination [...] Sexuality for Freud is not a need but a drive [...] The continuity between our infantile needs and adult politics which Bond wishes to underline occurs only in the context of the most unsettling discontinuity we are ever likely to experience -the break precisely, from nature to culture, need to desire, of which the Oedipus is effective sign. (Eagleton, 1984, pp. 131-2)... 

Establishing accessible, meaningful, and timely population and social health information and information-sharing systems is fundamental to understanding how the social determinants influence the health and well-being outcomes of Tasmanians [43].

This suggests that we have a breakdown at the global level. When we think about health, we talk about social determinants that can be either upstream or downstream. The upstream factors are the global things, such as the economy, strategy, and policy, and the downstream factors are the more individual things, like lifestyle choices. What we do know is that a breakdown at the top, at the systemic level, results in a big disconnect between what organisations want to happen, and what actually happens at the local level.
