Culture Breed Syndrome

Female athletes tend to have a higher rate of brain injury than their male counterparts

The classic definition for culture was proposed by Tylor (1871/1958) and still commonly cited: Culture is “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, arts, morals, law, custom, and many other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society” (p. 1). This definition focuses on attributes that are acquired through growing up or living in a particular society, rather than through biological inheritance (Kottak, 2002). In Giger and Davidhizar’s (1991) Model for transcultural care, culture was defined as a patterned behavioral response that develops over time as a result of imprinting the mind through social and religious structures and intellectual and artistic manifestations.

Boys are two times more likely than girls to receive such a diagnosis. (King, 2013).

In comparison to the module, the author Hyde and Else-Quest, state that women are more likely to be

Before we can begin to discuss the reasons that the disorder is more commonly diagnosed in men,

In her scientific work Sex Differences in the Brain Kimura analysis several key differences that cause men and women to excel in various tasks and jobs due to naturally occurring phenomenon in the body and

In a recent study done in August of 2013, scientists found that autism had a peculiar affect on the female brain. Researchers were looking to find differences between the two genders, something to support the already explored EMR theory, (also known as the “Extreme Male Brain Theory”), but they did not expect the possibility of the female autistic brain having a masculine resemblance. Scientists studied several men and women, with and without autism, which led to the discovery of the differences between the two genders.

it is more popular in boy as it occurs in 1 and 4000, but can also be present in girl bieng that 1 in 8000 get fragile X syndrome

In writing this, I am attempting to demonstrate an awareness of ethical practice. In preparation of writing this paper, I have researched information on the famous person indicated in an effort to make an attempt at providing a possible diagnosis of a psychological condition for which two theoretical orientations will be evaluated and used to support what is only an opinion. I am in no way qualified to give a diagnosis for the people mentioned within this document as it is a document written to demonstrate an understanding of educational material as it relates to the field of psychology. Any information mentioned with regard to the mental condition

Although it is mainly seen in women, rather than in men; there are a few exceptions

While disorders of attention are different in males and females, there are also differences in the type of attention based on gender. The brain can be examined to look at how they differ on behavior. Some of these differences can also be based off of our cultural influences. Some will argue that the differences are based off of our biological sex instead of cultural differences.

Notably, cultural influences have been noted to affect the somatoform disorders. Cultures such as the Puerto Rican and the Greek are known to report higher rates of somatization disorders among the men than is the case in the United States. In addition, cases of somatization disorders are less common among persons with higher levels of education compared to the less educated. According to Robert (2002), rates are higher outside of the west, which can be attributed to

Through much study, scientists have found that in certain genetic conditions, gender does play a role. Evan Eichler is a geneticist at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. Small studies had hinted that girls could endure far more harmful autism-linked mutations than boys before developing the disease. So he and colleagues decided to probe whether this association held up in a bigger group of people diagnosed with autism or with other disorders that trace to changes in how the brain develops. To do this, the team tapped into two large collections of genetic data. One came from more than 15,000 people with intellectual disabilities. A second came from 762 families, each with an autistic child. Eichler’s team suspects that parents of the kids in the two groups it studied had such mutations and then passed them along to their children. On average, females in both of the studied groups had more harmful mutations than did the males. This was true for large chunks of missing or repeated DNA as well as for small, single letter mutations. “No matter what class of mutation we looked at, females had more,” Eichler says. Consider

Wilson(2009, p.4) says ‘Culture shock is a state of disorientation that can come over anyone who has been thrust into unknown surroundings, away from one’s comfort zone.’ This term was first introduced by the anthropologist Oberg (1960) to describe the signs of anxiety that occur when people bump into a new culture that presents similar symbols or behaviors.

First definitions emphasis communication, where Oberg popularized the term culture shock as the “anxiety that results from losing all of our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse” weaver says culture shock has “three basic causal explanations:
