Answer 1

1. Biopsychosocial framework suggests how how biology and environmental factors help to build the psychology characteristics of an individual. It shows how biology, psychology and social factors influence in building the behavior of an individual. This model is very relevant to understand an illness or a psychological disorder. It is the combination of medical science and sociological factors contributing to the health issues.

  2. In my childhood days I was nourished in the country side. I was not so smarter in the country side. I was accustomed to the rural environment. The vast field, open sky, pure air would care me. I spent long time in playing and my health was absolutely free from all types of disease. There was no tension, worries in my life. I would speak with all and there was freedom in the life. I never experienced any types of social prejudices and discrimination.

I would feel kind of simplicity in my life. This was perceived greatly when I came in the town. I felt my change. There was a great difference between two types of life. I was cut off my rural contacts. In the town I did not find such simplicity and friends. In the rural side I would enjoy a kind of freedom and independent environment. But in the town life I was lost in the mire of complexity.    

3. In the rural life there was enough natural stimuli that would help in natural development of my cognitive faculties. My emotion was controlled there. I would feel a kind of calmness and i was totally free from aggressive nature. There were no worries and excitement. There was no external pressure from the society. I felt there natural growth. The social interactions were very spontaneous there. There were many stimuli for spontaneous learning of social norms and morality. It helped in my personality development.
