Wellness Reflection Society
Another educational lens used with wellness topics demonstrates the diversity of the subject, but to fully understand the extent of issues related to physical fitness and wellness, I
need to explore them through different lenses. By using various lenses, I can avoid biases and get
a more accurate understanding of the subject. Wellness is a complex topic that can be perceived differently by different cultures, religions, and individuals. For example, some people use meditation to achieve overall wellness and happiness, while others use it to cope with stress. To understand the different perspectives on
wellness, we need to consider cultural and religious beliefs, as well as individual upbringing. By only using one of the other general education lenses, I would have limited my research to a specific group, but I now understand that it's essential to recognize that wellness is not just about nutrition, exercise, physical or mental well-being. It includes other factors that must be considered to achieve a balance. Cross-cultural comparisons of wellness should be approached with caution because people from different cultural groups may respond to items in different ways. “the validity of such scales depends on the assumption that people from different cultural groups respond to the items in the same way” (Brailovskaia et al., 2021). As a healthcare worker, I thought I had a good understanding of physical fitness and wellness topics. However, as I continued to research the subject, I realized that my knowledge was limited. To avoid biases in my research, I need to interact with people who have different viewpoints, cultures, and perspectives. In conclusion, by using various lenses to explore physical fitness and wellness, we can avoid biases and get a more accurate understanding of the subject. It's essential to recognize that wellness is a complex topic that requires consideration of different factors. Interacting with people who have different viewpoints and cultures can help us broaden our understanding of wellness.
