Quotes by William C. Cockerham (?)

“with a bias toward individualism that affects our conceptualization of the social. Smelser (1997: 29) says: “We live in the Western cultural tradition, which has exploited the cultural values of individualism. As children of that tradition, we are most comfortable taking the individual person as the starting point of analysis. Put another way, that cultural tradition ‘tilts’ us toward assuming that the natural unit for the behavioral and social sciences is the individual.”
― William C. Cockerham, Social Causes of Health and Disease

“Link and Phelan maintain that social conditions are fundamental causes of disease. In order for a social variable to qualify as a fundamental cause of disease and mortality, Link and Phelan (1995: 87) hypothesize that it must (1) influence multiple diseases, (2) affect these diseases through multiple pathways of risk, (3) be reproduced over time, and (4) involve access to resources that can be used to avoid risks or minimize the consequences of disease if it occurs. They define social conditions as factors that involve a person’s relationships with other people.”
