How Health is Threatened by Hate | TEDMED
We all know that hate plays a demonic role in today's society, but did you know that hate directly impacts health? Wellness Epidemiologist, Sandro Galea, studies how hate, injustice, trauma, and bias impact human health. As a Public Health expert, he points us beyond our understanding of Social Determinants of Health to observe Moral Determinants of Health - the acknowledgement that feelings such as love and hate can shape health just as greatly as one's environment can. He urges us that - whether around race, immigration, socioeconomic status, gender norms or otherwise - when we act with compassion, acceptance, and love, we shape a safe and healthy world.
Sandro believes that “a world rooted in love embraces health as a public good.”
Watch his 2020 TEDMED Talk "How health is threatened by hate" to learn how we can align with love to build a healthier world.
