The definition of the word abnormal, means deviating from the average norm. If we were to take this literally anybody acting strangely or differently would be considered to be abnormal. This also depends on people’s perceptions as to what is normal. Normal for one culture may be abnormal for another. To look at the definition of abnormality in more detail it’s needed to look at the different definitions of abnormality.
However, failure to function adequately is a general sign of a disorder and not itself specific to any condition. Rosenhan and Seligman (1989) have suggested some characteristics of abnormal behaviour that are related to the FFA definition include: observer discomfort, unpredictability, irrationality and maladaptiveness. One limitation of Failure to Function Adequately is Cultural issues. Patterns of behaviour vary from culture to culture, so failing to function adequately may look different depending upon which culture you are in. The FFA criterion is likely to result in different diagnosis when applied to people from different cultures, because the standard of one culture being used to measure another.
Justice is what is seen to be right and just by society and this means that society is catered for. However, an outsider does not conform with society so what they may think is just is different to society. These conflicting views mean that societies justice can be placed on the outsider. Outsiders are often isolated, they don't fit in or necessarily want to fit in . They often don't pick up on the nrules or cues society have to operate.
If these codes of practice and legislations where not to be followed the consequences can be diverse. They can affect just one individual or can affect an entire team of social care workers. By not following the codes of practice and the legislation you could cause a service user to feel discriminated against which would have negative effects such as making them feel isolated or un-heard and could lead to more problems that would affect the people around them as well as the individual . By not using inclusive practice you may find that the S.U might be put in a situation in which they are not happy which could make them act out in a way that could affect their future and how other team members interact with them. For example by failing to us an inclusive practice with an service user by taking them to a public park, without first consulting or discussing this with the service user they could miss out on

The way in which it could be hazardous to young service users is that they may pick this piece of glass up due to evidently not being aware of the dangers it could cause. As a result of this, it is highly likely that they will cut themselves. Some young children may even place it into their mouth which is evidently highly hazardous as it could lead onto more serious injury. The way in which it could be a hazard to elder service users from Peace Haven House is that they may be partially visually impaired which would evidently result in them not being able to notice it.
Society generally labels an individual as deviant if they differ from the social norms in appearance or behavior. Deviant acts not only change the way a
This in return can create barriers, or a misconception of individual behaviour that does not fall into that category defined as “normal.” Therefore in conclusion this could lead to wrong assumptions or even an incorrect diagnosis being made based solely on what “society” constitutes as normal behaviour. However on the other hand, there does need to be a framework that will measure or monitor individual behaviour, in order to identify and treat any behaviour which may be deemed as abnormal. For this reason it would assist those individuals that may be a risk to themselves, or even the wider community. Statistical Infrequent: Is defined as any behaviour and psychological functioning that is statistically infrequent, this is then viewed as abnormal. Behaviour such as removing personal clothing in a public place isn’t something most people would normally do.
Transgender is something that difficult to be accepted because the act is in violation of existing law. Transgender people damage faith self and giving a bad example to people about their perspectives. Although we find these groups do not interfere with other people's lives, their actions give a negative value to society. We should be aware of this growing culture and society as a cultural practice that this matter should be contained eastern may violate other religions. The second effect is Make society feel afraid of them.
So how can we avoid this behavior if and when we recognize it as such? First we need to identify all the components Prejudice is usually a negative incorrect unjustified attitude or prejudgment directed towards someone based on personal views of a particular social group or groups. Someone that’s prejudice towards others may not act according to their beliefs, but still may not discriminate against them. One line of logic that is used is to justify ones prejudice and stereotypes is to justify the system used; by using social inequalities, they legitimizing beliefs, attitudes and myths.
