Shawn went to a restaurant where the beer was mediocre and the place was run-down. The restaurant was out of many of its more popular menu items. Yet Shawn remembered the restaurant fondly because he had dinner with the girl he would end up dating steadily. They really hit it off that night. A few months later he decides to return to the restaurant, only to find that he was disappointed in the food and service. He thinks it's strange because he had such a good experience last time. What situational factor likely influenced Shawn's first experience

The social surroundings of a subject is formed by their living and working conditions, the studies they have completed, their level of income and the community of which they are a part. Each of these factors influences the health of the individual: therefore, globally, differences between the social environments of different countries create disparities in health.

In this way, life expectancy and disease rates vary according to the education the person has received, the type of work they do and the income they receive month by month.

Government agencies often develop various plans to improve the social environment (that is, to provide the right conditions for the full development of the subject). Among the objectives proposed by this type of initiative are the creation of jobs, the improvement of quality and safety in the workplace, the mass access to social benefits and the increase in financing to attend the poorest regions.
