Public Health
People around the world, in the United States, and in your local community share many of the same health concerns. Organizations and agencies worldwide help to ensure that people stay safe and healthy through regulations, research, and education. As you learn more about how to maintain health and wellness, it is important for you to stay informed with regard to public health.
You can promote personal health and the health of those in your community by being prepared for natural disasters and emergency situations. Each type of disaster requires you to prepare differently. However, if you and your family design a communication plan and create a basic emergency supply kit, you will be ready for any disaster.
You can promote a safe and conflict-free sporting environment by being a reliable, committed, truthful, honest, and ethical team player. Athletes should always strive for their best while playing fair and respecting opponents, teammates, coaches, and officials. Team players who demonstrate these characteristics of good sportsmanship will naturally avoid conflict.
