Although, even if you were judged by a jury, not a single person alone, the judgement very likely would be unjust unless every single member of the jury was aware of his/her own cultural conditioning, and able to leave it out of account. Which then would make it impossible to judge behaviour at all. With all the values, that form the basis for the judgement of behaviour being cultural values.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273435151682585281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-64762774623164282612008-09-22T14:12:00.000+02:002008-09-22T14:12:00.000+02:00The trouble with psych labels is that one person m...The trouble with psych labels is that one person makes them, not a jury. Thats just to start with whats wrong with it.<BR/>Secondly people can and do change over time, if the label is correct, the person it describes could change in a few months.<BR/><BR/>The judgement is based on what the observer sees, and wants to see in their subject.<BR/>How many people walk away from a psychiatrist classified "normal"?<BR/>and finally a diagnosis is not a disease. A disease an outside force that generally kills or harms the physical patient. A behaviour is something nonphysical that generally doesn't kill the patient.<BR/><BR/>The power of psychiatry and the publics belief in psychiatry makes psych labels more than just words.Mark p.s.2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10529811159862096782noreply@blogger.com
