O Normal E O Patológico Na Perspectiva De Saúde Da População Negra

The boundaries between what is considered normal and what is pathological are constant. The author argues that the cycle that determines the normal and the pathological is linked by a qualitative variation. From this observation it is noted that the author considers the environment in which the individual is inserted, as a determinant of his pathological state. The racial categorization used in health studies occurs as a historical-social construction that seeks to understand the cause of the different realities of illness experienced by different social and ethnic-racial groups. It is noted, then, that there is a need for advanced discussions on what can be characterized as normal or pathological, from the perspective of group diversity, so that individuals belonging to these groups are attended to according to their health needs and demands. There is no way to discuss quality of life without an urgent look at the countless challenges caused by regional, ethnic, social and gender vulnerabilities
