No references are required for this essay unless you cite someone who specifically influenced your current thinking. The argument you make for your point of view should stand up to peer review. Although we may all consider ourselves open minded or tolerant, suggesting that you do not ever judge others will not be sufficient and is likely to earn a very low score. Excessive words may negatively impact the reader’s view of the author’s understanding of the essential aspects of the material in the literature.
MY HISTORY: Born in the 1960’s. Youngest of 3 girls. Educated in private catholic girls only college. I was raised to believe that any behaviour that was considered illegal or unchristianly was abnormal. We were taught tolerance of other people but tended to be judgemental of others whose behaviour was not what I considered appropriate.
We have been studying Modern biological perspectives, the psychoanalytical perspective, roots of behaviourism and behavioural approaches and therapies, psychodynamic theories of abnormality, behavioural theories, cognitive theories, humanistic and existential theories and interpersonal theories of abnormality as well as touching on social and interpersonal approaches encompassing family systems theories and social structural theories of abnormality.
