The sick role is a sociological concept introduced by Talcott Parsons, which assumes that individuals who are ill are not held responsible for their condition and are expected to seek help and comply with treatment. It outlines two main expectations: the sick person should try to get well and fulfill their social roles to the best of their ability, while society must provide support and care. This concept highlights the social dynamics of illness and the obligations of both the individual and society in managing health.
