Do you think that human beings are essentially good or bad, or a combination of both? Why? Argue for, and bring evidence to support, the position you have taken. How does your position affect your approach to morality - for example, should a moral system be strict, clear, and absolutistic, or, permissive, flexible, and relativistic?

ANALYZING DIFFERENT SIDES OF AN ISSUE

For each of the following issues, identify reasons that support each side of the issue. Issue:

Emilio (DSM-IV Casebook, p. 189-190)

Emilio is a 40-year-old man who looks 10 years younger. He is brought to the hospital, his twelfth hospitalisation, by his mother because she is afraid of him. He is dressed in a ragged overcoat, bedroom slippers, and a baseball cap, and wears several medals around his neck. His affect ranges from anger at his mother ("She feeds me sh*t . . . what comes out of other people's rectums") to a giggling, obsequious seductiveness toward the interviewer. His speech and manner have a childlike quality, and he walks with a mincing step and exaggerated hip movements. His mother reports that he stopped taking his medication about a month ago, and has since begun to hear voices and to look and act more bizarrely. When asked what he has been doing, he says "Eating wires and lighting fires." His spontaneous speech is often incoherent and marked by frequent rhyming and clang associations (speech in which sounds, rather than meaningful relationships, govern word choice).

Emilio's first hospitalisation occurred after he dropped out of school at age 16, and since that time he has never been able to attend school or hold a job. He has been treated with medication during his hospitalizations, but doesn't continue to take medication when he leaves, so he quickly becomes disorganised again. He lives with his elderly mother, but sometimes disappears for several months at a time, and is eventually picked up by the police as he wanders in the streets. There is no known history of drug or alcohol abuse.

When a psychologist accepts a referral to do a forensic evaluation, who is the “client?” Discuss how and why this is a complicated question

Q.no.1. (A) Some people seem to be more naturally skeptical whilst others find it easier to be trusting. These differences may be because of past experiences or personality traits.

Directions: This assessment exercise has two parts. Please complete part 1 before moving to part 2.

Part 1- Think of a topic or issue or situation that you find very upsetting or frustrating. Do a little “ranting” on that issue. That is, write some very strong and emotional statements about this issue or situation. You might begin with “One thing that makes me furious is __________.” Try to write four or five sentences.

Part 2- Now imagine that you need to “go public” with your feelings and opinions and convince someone else to share at least some of the intensity you feel about this issue. Is there anything in your ranting that you might convert into an argument, a line of reasoning that another person might find legitimate?Read and discuss your sentences with a classmate. Talk about why you feel that some of your state-ments are not good raw material for public reasoning but others might be.

(Part 1 = 1 paragraph, Part 2 = 1 paragraph with 2-3 arguments).

In that it recognizes one God who rules the entire world, Islam may be called a universal religion. However, although Islam grew out of a particular seventh-century Arabian context, Muslims claims that its central document, the Qur'an, must be read in Arabic in order to be fully appreciated. How can Islam or any similar religion resolve the tension between the universal and the particular? How can it (or any other faith) be a religion for people of all races and nationalities without giving up its distinctive cultural heritage?

What would be the consequences (positive or negative) of one world language? How does this relate to the Biblical account of the Tower of Babel?

For each case history provide:

1. a diagnosis;
2. list the criteria required for the diagnosis; and
3. provide examples from the case history for each of the criteria listed.
   For example, if one of the criteria for a diagnosis is "delusions", then you should list "delusions, e.g., believes he is receiving special/hidden messages from television programs that he only understands".

Milo Tark (Morrison, 1995, pp. 476-477)

Milo Tark was 23, good-looking, and smart. When he worked, he was well paid as a heating and air conditioning installer. He had got into that trade when he left high school, which happened somewhere in the middle of his 10th-grade year. Since then, he had had at least 15 different jobs; the longest of them had lasted six months.

Milo was referred for evaluation after he was caught trying to con money from elderly patrons at an automatic teller machine (ATM). The machine was one of two that served the branch bank where his mother worked as assistant manager.

"The little devil!" his father exclaimed during the initial interview. "He was always a difficult one to raise, even when he was a kid. Kinda reminded me of me, sometimes. Only I pulled out of it."

Milo picked a lot of fights when he was a boy. He had bloodied his first nose when he was only five, and the world-class spanking his father had given him had taught him nothing about keeping his fists to himself. Later he was suspended from the seventh grade for extorting $3 and change from an eight-year-old. When the suspension was finally lifted, he responded by ditching class for 47 straight days. Then began a string of encounters with the police beginning with shoplifting (condoms) and progressing through breaking and entering (four counts) to grand theft auto when he was 15. For stealing the Toyota, he was sent for half a year to a camp run by the state youth authority. "It was the only six months his mother and I ever knew where he was at night," his father observed.

Milo's time in detention seemed to have done him some good, at least initially. Although he never returned to school, for the next two years he avoided arrest and intermittently applied himself to learning his trade. Then he celebrated his 19th birthday by getting drunk and joining the Army. Within a few months he was out on the street again, with a bad-conduct discharge for sharing cocaine in his barracks and assaulting two corporals, his first sergeant, and a second lieutenant. For the next several years, he worked when he needed cash and couldn't get it any other way. Not long before this evaluation, he had gotten a 16-year-old girl pregnant.

"She was just a ditsy broad." Milo lounged back, one leg over the arm of the interview chair. He had managed to grow a scraggly beard, and he rolled a toothpick around in the corner of his mouth. The letters H-A-T-E and L-O-V-E were clumsily tattooed across the knuckles of either hand. "She didn't object when she was gettin' laid."

Milo's mood was good now, and he had never had anything that resembled mania. There had never been symptoms of psychosis, except for the time he was coming off speed. He "felt a little paranoid" then, but it didn't last.

The ATM job was a scam thought up by a friend. The friend had read something like it in the newspaper and decided it would be a good way to obtain fast cash. They had never thought they might get caught, and Milo hadn't considered the effect it would have on his mother. He merely yawned and said, "She can always get another job."
