Before we look at the different Social/Psychological Determinants of Health it is important firstly to define what a social determinant of health is. According to the World Health Organization (2017) “The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.” These conditions are as a result of a wide range of factors that are ultimately governed by the way in which money, power and specific resources are shared at different levels including those at global, national and local levels. We have all been a part of and will experience different social determinants of health throughout our lives but it is the standard at which we experience these determinants that will ultimately lead onto them affecting our health or ultimately leaving us unaffected.
Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada has been providing support for children by pairing them with adult mentors since 1913 (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook, n.d.). The mentor spends time with the child doing assorted activities, and demonstrating the importance of respect, giving, and education. Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada’s vision is that “Every child in Canada who needs a mentor, has a mentor”, and over 42000 children are matched with mentors in various programs (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, 2011a). Their mission is to “commit to Canada’s young people that we will be leaders in providing them with the highest quality, volunteer based mentoring programs” (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, 2011a).

Each competitor has their own unique strategies that helped them achieve their successes. Since Chipotle recently had some issues with foodborne illnesses, their competitors may have benefited from this and their stocks may have risen since the incident. Nevertheless, Chipotle is still one of the top competitors in its
They even got their own slogan for their labs "Building Tomorrow's Technologies". Comcast wants to crush its competitors by improving their technology and updating it frequently. Comcast labs are focused on developing and generating and arranging products that transform how people are entertained and informed. Tony Werner, Chief Technology Officer, and John Schanz, Chief Network Officer, both joined Comcast in the mid-2000s and together, they started the Comcast labs. These two brought thousands of brilliant engineers, product designers and experienced architects to make the products of tomorrow. As for their legal issues, Comcast and Warner Cable could face big antitrust hurdles against regulators in order to win approval for their $45.2 Billion mergers. These two combined companies would bring cable service to about 30% of American subscribers and operate 19 of the country's 20 largest regions. That would give Comcast a huge lead on its competitors, although they are already the largest TV, Internet, and home phone provider. Both Comcast and Time Warner Cable need to gain approval from two officials: the Federal Communications Commission and either the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission. However, some plans by the US government tried to block the merger, so Comcast called the deal off in April of
Supplier Dependency- Verizon depends on various key suppliers and vendors for providing equipment and services including switch and network equipment, handsets and other devices and equipments required to operate its business and provide products to its customers; such as Apple, Saumsung, Motorola, Windows, LG, and Otterbox. The company’s handset and other device suppliers rely on one vendor for manufacturing and supplying vital components used in their devices. If these suppliers or vendors fail to offer equipment or service on time or fail to meet the company’s performance expectations, Verizon may not be able to offer products and services required by the customers. The company also may not be able to continue to maintain nor improve the network. In addition, the company’s business may get disrupted if it requires or chose to replace the products or services of one or more major
Comcast Cable Corporation is a global media and service provider. They offer media sources and outlets via NBC Universal. Comcast also offers cable TV, internet, voice, as well as, home security and management options through their Xfinity brand. These services and the associated customers will be the primary focus of my narrative.

Comcast has invested in technology to build a sophisticated network that delivers the fastest broadband speeds, and brings customers personalized video, communications and home management offerings.” (Comcast, 2017) This statement also encompasses their purpose as a company.

“Corporate executives and business owners need to realize that there can be no compromise when it comes to ethics, and there are no easy shortcuts to success. Ethics need to be carefully sown into the fabric of their companies” (Wadhwa, n.d.). Nortel once noted as a key player in the Canadian market with a vast knowledge in wireless and broadband communications failed to heed this advice. Nortel may have been extremely successful during the communication boom of the early ninety’s but that all changed in the early twenty-first century where the company saw a steep decline due to an overvaluation of its worth which would ultimately lead to their fall. Nortel’s fall did not happen overnight thus it is important
