Question 1: Abnormal Behavior

Abnormal behavior is that which violates cultural and social norms. It is considered that something is abnormal because it happens so rare; it deviates from the norm, the behavior is abnormal if a person violates social norms. Abnormality is defined in terms of behaviors that occur less frequently. It also means abnormal behavior is the behaviour which deviates from a rule and damages to the affected individual or others. In this context, what was considered abnormal today, tomorrow, maybe it will seem normal, but that seems to us unacceptable, sometimes very well fit into the lives of other people. 

In this context, it is necessary to distinguish between the criteria used by other people, defining the behavior of irritating or causing them confusion of man as abnormal from those criteria, which thus enjoys the man himself, describing, for example, his condition when he was not able to overcome his own frustration or even just to tell about it. One of the approach of abnormality may be the fact that the decoding of the world occurs in the brain of man is not like the others. Moreover, the perception of reality is organized and "standardized" by the brain, an important function is to filter external signals. Any deviation from "normal" interpretation of these signals is associated with the risk of maladaptation. This is the case for people with hearing or smell, as well as those who are inclined to perceive the attitudes and gestures of others as hostile or, conversely, as the most benevolent. Western culture is the only normal state of consciousness recognizes extraverted consciousness. The concept of standards is very ambiguous, and if you think about it, we can conclude that the clear distinction between acceptable and unacceptable; nor is there an ideal standard. Every man in some degree abnormal. It is just that some people some of the properties are more pronounced than others, and these people need support to adapt. 

Question 2: The brain is extraordinary malleable

The malleability of the brain explains that there are certain times when negative experiences or lack of appropriate stimulation are likely to have profound and lasting impact. When children do not receive the care they need at crucial stages of their development, or are victims of malnutrition, abuse or neglect, their brain development may suffer. Many children living in emergency situations, among displaced populations in post-conflict, suffered severe trauma and are experiencing difficulties exceptionally intense and prolonged. These conditions are particularly harmful to young children. Only a few synapses are activated, while the rest of the brain stops. 

The brain can learn from the cradle to the grave. The malleability is the scale of change that decreases significantly with age and that it is at 17-year-olds already less than 7-year-olds and 27 year olds even less. This slowness of the learning process does not begin until at 50 or 70, but basically to start at an early adulthood, this is the first. The second is: Of course you can do ...
