Explain the concept of "explanatory models." Then, articulate Garro's (1995) main argument about explanatory models for Type II Diabetes in the Ashinaabe community she studied. Based on Garro's conclusions, how might we see the Ashinaabe as experiencing social suffering? (In order to answer this, you will want to make sure to explain what "social suffering" is.) Finally, discuss whether you think that Kleinman and Hanna's (2008) notion of bringing "caregiving" back into biomedicine could serve as an appropriate response to Garro's call for "health professionals to broaden the message of individual responsibility to recognize societal responsibility and to work towards solutions that incorporate such factors" (1995: 45).
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
