Why might there be different
understandings of wellbeing?
Different understandings of well-being can arise due to cultural, personal, and societal factors. For example, cultural differences influence how well-being is perceived, as different cultures may prioritise certain aspects like community, spirituality, or individual success in varying ways. Personal experiences also play a role; for instance, someone who values career success may define well-being differently from someone who prioritises family or personal growth. Additionally, societal factors such as economic conditions, education, and social norms can shape how well-being is understood—what is considered a sign of well-being in one society might not be viewed the same way in another. As well-being is a multifaceted concept, people may also emphasise different dimensions (physical, emotional, social, etc.) depending on their own values and needs.
