Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking, about life, and how someone might defined the overall quality, of his /her life. “ Quality of life”, is different to everyone, no two people will define it the same way nor will it be explained in the same manner. Since there are differences of opinion as to what “quality of life” actually is a working definition for this paper should be established. Therefore the definition I will be working with will be as follows it is a very complex multidimensional concept consisting of a personal evaluation process. The multidimensional process is life satisfactions; positive and negative, health; psychological well-being and social well-being, and both aspects together.
