FROM NBCNEWS, JULY 2020
 Multiple people
contracted COVID-19 in the
United States but despite of
it, Americans rallies& protest
against wearing of mask.
THEORY: Health belief model
under the keys concept
perceived susceptibility and
perceived severity
• ANALYSIS: We know that COVID-19 infected in the
united states has a higher case compared to other countries. As
we can see in the picture one-man protest about not wearing a
mask. Perceived severity say that one’s belief regarding the
seriousness/the chance of a given condition. The man protest
about not wearing a mask because he believes that wearing a
mask is nonsense, and he refuses to wear a mask because he
thinks he has his own decision about himself.

vulnerability to diseases, the

environments at ever greater distances (that is, by allowing
them to perceive those stimuli situated in extrapersonal space),
eyes, and the visual systems that those eyes feed into, evolved
in order to increase a species’ chances of survival, by
enhancing the efficient detection of energy (food) sources, or
nutriments, from within a given environmental niche.
