In this course, we will focus on mental health, social growth, and cultural values. All of these phrases refer to the same problem. People who are comfortable, cheerful, efficient, successful, and contributing are most often mentally well. Such traits may only be attained within the parameters of permissible conduct sanctioned by one's culture. A person who is satisfied with himself or herself is more likely to be satisfied with others in the society. Furthermore, the culture is likely to see that person as someone who promotes the overall benefit of the group. In this way, such a person contributes to the social development of his or her own culture while also serving as a model of mental health for that culture. Such a person maintains good mental health.
