Answers with Explanation:

A. Give at least two reasons why he believes this.

Friedman believes that health promotion based on Western framework for human development unfairly criticizes the other cultures in the society. Western framework values intellectual and economic achievements alone, which then results to putting a great expense on the other essential human qualities.

B. What crisis does he believe is happening in the most economically developed countries?

The crisis that is happening in the most economically developed country is the devaluing of the other aspects which other human beings value in terms of individuality or families.

C. What does he recommend to improve the programming for adolescent health?

He recommends that if changes were to be implemented for adolescent's health, these have to be properly assessed regarding their effect on the adolescent's development, including his/her family and other social relationships. Next is to check whether it doesn't conflict with the adolescent's culture in the community that he belongs. If it does, then it is essential to change it or find another way which fosters the same goal.
