Through biological and social level‚ everyone experienced aging as it was defined to be calculated by the number of years a person has lived (Aldwin). The term aging should be used in a content that helps the societal to understand and to adapt physically and mentally when talking about the number of years a person has been alive. The classification of later life (old) falls into three categories:

Biological Model: The biological model of abnormality views abnormalities as medical illnesses. The abnormalities are believed to be caused by genetic inheritance‚ evolution‚ prenatal exposure‚ viral infections‚ or injuries to the brain tissue that affect the brain structure and chemistry. Also‚ it is believed that hormone levels and other levels of chemicals can cause the neurotransmitters to perform improperly which can lead to a mental disorder. Due to many advances in the medical field most

After wrestling with this question in my mind‚ I eventually settled on the Biological Model. The Biological Model of abnormality is the one I am most inclined to agree with. I believe I tend to lean towards this model rather than the others because of my personal experience with the medical field. This background

Task: Discuss two or more biological explanations for the development of schizophrenia. One biological explanation for schizophrenia is genetics. This theory states that a person’s genes determine whether they develop schizophrenia or not. Family studies‚ twin studies and adoption studies have explored the roles of genes in the development of sz. Gottesman conducted a family study and he identified that the closer someone is genetically to a person with sz‚ the more likely to develop sz. For example

How do genetic and biological factors (i.e.‚ nature) interact with environmental conditions (i.e.‚ nurture) to increase or decrease risk for antisocial behavior? A14: Although both biological and environmental conditions are powerful predictors of antisocial behavior and drug abuse‚ neither are “causal” in a deterministic sense – they are probabilistic. The intensity and frequency of exposure to negative environmental conditions‚ and the number and severity of internal risk factors present

The Nervous System and Aging Sensory changes can influence the way we see‚ hear‚ taste‚ smell‚ and respond to touch and pain. This in turn affects how we experience the world and react to things.

Biological concepts of race are indeed problematic. The problem stems from the fact that there has never been a discovery of single defining characteristic they could possible distinguish different people into biological races and probably never will; as it most likely does exist.

There will be a particular focus on how race is a cultural construction and the problems that presets with this both in a scientific and social context of each. The main
