You may use your assessment results from the unit one work to support your discussion.
Finally, discuss how the SCARF model and your assessment results either confirmed aspects that you already believed about yourself or whether they are at odds with your self-perception of yourself within an organizational group.

The results of a tensile test can be evaluated as either engineering stress-strain curves or true stress-strain curves. The original cross-sectional area of the tensile test specimen is used to plot the former one, whereas the instantaneous cross-sectional area is used for the latter one. Assume that you are an engineer who needs to design a structural product using a hypothetical metal A, which should not plastically deform in the application area. You need to apply a tensile test to this hypothetical metal A in order to determine the required mechanical properties. From an engineering point of view, which method you should prefer to plot stress-strain curve: engineering stress-strain or true stress-strain? Explain.

Society: In my mind, the difference between what is labeled "normal" behavior and what is labeled "abnormal" behavior has a lot to do with how society view behavior. However, it also has to do with the level of psychological soundness. Psychological soundness can be determined by many factors including culture, religion, morals, values, worldview, etc. However, in the same way we discussed grief last week, there can be a universal judgment for soundness. How do we determine what that is? Could person who deliberately ordered the murder of hundreds of people, such as former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, be psychologically sound? Why or why not? Answer this question with one or more theories mentioned in this week's reading.
