Conclusion
Main research question:
To what extent has the general lifestyle of the family changed to either more or less healthy?
Whether the general lifestyle of the family changed to either more or less healthy is a debatable topic. In the field of sports the families nowadays aren't doing much different from the first and second generation's families. Of course there are more sports to be played, but whether they sport more is not evident. When only including the families living in the past point of view, the amount of time spent on sports is roughly the same in comparison to now. However, this can never be assumed for everyone as it differs for each person. One can play more sports than someone else does. PE provided by schools is still very common nowadays in comparison with the past. The development of sport facilities could make the general lifestyle of the family healthier. Again, this also depends on each person whereas some people make use of these facilities while other people are satisfied by going for a run or taking his or her dog on a walk.
Another vital field that needs to be looked at in order to demonstrate whether the general lifestyle is healthier or not is food. Families are accessible to be able to eat a variety choice of foodstuffs. This was different in the past. Development plays a big role in this as it discovers and creates new products. Families nowadays nevertheless do not eat much more healthier in contrast to the past. It's a frequent pattern that repeats itself; nothing can be factual demonstrated as each person eats acts and lives differently. The aspect of eating healthier can therefore also not be assumed. Al though vegetables and fruits are still commonly eaten. Whether you perceive something as healthy matters too. What has been made more enhanced are stores and supermarkets. Families nowadays can easily acquire food due to the increase of shops, supermarkets and stores. It's closer and there are more food products. Families also go out to restaurants which is not anywhere near the way that they would do in the past. It could be argued that this makes the general lifestyle healthier, however it heavily depends on the specific choices the families make. They can either choose to buy healthy or non healthy food.
In short, whether the general lifestyle of the family is healthier depends mainly on the choices they make.
Further research as to why the general lifestyle is more or less healthy.
The life expectancy of 2020 in the Netherlands is 82.35 years. 50 years ago (1970) this was 73.59 years according to the World bank. This is a major increase of roughly 10 years! This not only demonstrates that the lifestyle is more healthy, it also shows that development in the health care made this possible. Our health care system has improved a lot! For example, in the 1970s chickenpox was something that occurred regularly, whereas it would nowadays be prevented with vaccines. Thus; a visible development and healthier lifestyle of the family. Besides that, there are also fewer smokers. On the other hand, labour saving devices like washing machines, kitchen appliances, central heating and dryers means families nowadays don't have to work as hard in comparison with the past. Walking was also a much more common way of transport than it is today. Cars tend to make one 'lazier' as there is not much physical activity involved. This could be an argument as to why the general lifestyle would be less healthy.
In short, the improvements made to the healthcare system offers families to live a healthier life. Unlike the healthcare system, developments in transport and labour saving devices tend to make people 'lazier'.
Summary most important findings
main similarities and differences throughout the generations in the Netherlands.
The main similarities throughout the generation in the Netherlands is partly the food that is served, the practice of sports and the role of the school in children's physical wellbeing. To sum up: the third generation eats similarly to the second generation, however there is a bigger variety of food choice. All three generations roughly practice the same sports, but the third (and second) generation have more different and new types of sports. And schools still provide PE which is similar throughout all three generations. Differences are that there are more sport facilities available for the third and second generation than that there was for the first generation. And the place where the food was bought changed for the third and second generation in comparison with the first generation. The third and second generation usually acquired their food from local stores or even restaurants, while the the first generation mainly farmed.
main similarities and differences between India and Europe.
One of the main differences between the Netherlands and India is the food. Members of the Indian healthy group topic have stated that obesity among the children is not uncommon, however this does not mean that the Netherlands is much different in this aspect. As to why some children in both India and the Netherlands tend to become obese, both have different causes to it. One of the main differences is the fact that in the Netherlands, food not only consists of local and cultural dishes, but these from different cultures are eaten as well. The country for example has stores and restaurants all based on a different culture icluding manners. You could eat at a Turkish restaurant or order some Chinese takeout. India on the other hand, most likely eat more of their own cultural dishes. Their food can vary from fresh and healthy dishes to greasy and unhygienic food.
Sports throughout India and the Netherlands (Europe) work similarly. Schools in India provide the students with PE lessons that will eventually be graded. This is the same for the students living in the Netherlands. Both countries therefore have schools that provide students with PE, without there being anything extra added to it, other than a sports day once in a while. There is therefore no specific difference in that matter. Equality however, seems to differ throughout Europe and India. India has a cast system, which may lead to poverty. Netherlands in contradiction to India has a completely different system. These systems are in no way similar to each other. People in India could therefore end up being really unhealthy because of a lack of supplies and opportunistic chances .
Besides that, healthcare also plays a vital role. India doesn't seem to have a bad healthcare system. The only problem that interferes is poverty. Because of the big gap between equality, not all Indians are assured to have a good, stable and promising healthcare system. Treatments and more remain doubtful. This would then also be the biggest and most significant difference between Europe and India.
These differences/similarities/conclusions are based on given information. Particular assumptions can therefore appear deliberately incorrect.
Further research (for own interest)
While making the conclusion based on the Netherlands and India, some questions were raised by the given information. This is further research done on these aspects. Are they correct? Or what is an explanation for it? Whether the research will disapprove or make information more logic to comprehend, shows the importance of such skills.
‘Comparing the Indian families with ours we found out that he Indian families eat in a very different way and the Indian peers told us that there are some really obese kids in India. This doesn’t mean we (Dutch people) live healthier, because a lot of children nowadays are quite unhealthy (fat).’
Question: What are causes of obesity in India compared to the Netherlands?
Every country has its own food and health, this makes each of them unique on their own. In the Netherlands, obesity is mainly caused by the decisions made by the consumer as to what they eat. The amount of sugar and fat in products are the leaders. According to Indrani Halder, there can be many causes of obesity. Genetics, behaviour, and economics are all various factors. In contrast with the Netherlands, the most important cause underlying obesity and diabetes in India is the extreme lack of knowledge about the detrimental effects of obesity on its citizens. Thus, here, the attitude of the people plays the main role. Indian people seem to easily accept diabetes and don’t quite realise weight gain can eventually be fatal. They also don’t necessarily maintain a level of physical activity as they become older. As well is there a lack of motivation and promotion. There is no increasing effective awareness in the general public about obesity because doctors nor the government takes a serious look at this issue. In order to solve the problem of obesity in India, the government should use campaigning in order to spread awareness and encourage their people to change their demeanour towards weight gain and promote a healthy lifestyle. For example, not smoking, getting more physical activity and eating healthier can all result into a healthier lifestyle and reduce the risk of vascular diseases.
‘The healthcare isn’t even that bad in India the only problem is that the people who really need to be treated don’t even get the chance because of their lack of money.’
Question: Do they really not get the chance?
In India, all people are accessible to healthcare. However, the only thing that differs is the quality of this healthcare. In India, public healthcare is free and subsidised for those who are below the poverty line. As it is free, the quality as to be expected, is extremely poor. This leads to people preferring private health care above the public one. Public healthcare was originally developed in order to provide every citizen of India with healthcare regardless of socioeconomic status or caste. Private health care on the other hand has to be paid for, though it does provide one with a high quality of treatment.
