Outline and evaluate one or more biological explanations of schizophrenia. In your evaluation you should refer to research evidence. 24 marks According to the genetic hypothesis‚ the more closely related the family member to the schizophrenic the greater their chance of developing the disorder. Evidence from twin‚ family and adoption studies has tended to indicate schizophrenia to have a genetic component although a major problem is separating out environmental influences.

Critically evaluate the claim that “the ordering of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is accurate”. Refer to relevant theoretical and empirical evidence to support your argument. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is one of the most important theoretical systems in humanistic psychology. However‚ the ordering of this system is not accurate and this is evidenced by various criticisms of Maslow’s conception of ‘self-actualisation.’ Individuals do not need to satisfy the lower needs in order to reach self-actualisation

In the opening scene of The Importance of Being Earnest‚ Oscar Wilde creates a farcical and unrealistic world. Wilde creates a theoretical world during the conversation between Algernon and Lane; the audience would expect Lane to obey Algernon’s every command with ‘yes sir’.
