Q

Q
Evaluate the Definition ‘Failure to Function Adequately’
A
- Cultural Relativism (Collective cultures VS Individualistic cultures have a different definition of abnormality)
- Subjectivity ( Judging abnormality depends on who’s making the judgement and claiming someone as abnormal when they are not can have negative consequence)
- Context Dependent (Sometimes people may show signs of failure to function adequately but are not abnormal e.g being sick, being on a hunger strike, grieving a death)
