Capstone file(s): Show file | Show file
My capstone examines how people care for their bodies as being a symptom of their beliefs about medical efficacy, trust in technological advancements and scientific evidence, and perceptions of what is natural and what isn’t. My questions dive into defining what naturalness means in medicine, the difference between the various types of medicine and health care, and the meanings they hold in Western society.
