For this week’s discussion please answer ONE OF THE TWO following prompts, and seek out a source from the internet that demonstrates support for your opinion: 
PROMPT TWO
1.) Describe the central difference between Gender Identity Disorder from the DSM 4, and the newer Gender Dysphoric Disorder from the DSM 5. 
1.) Identify one drawback, or area of concern surrounding the use of this Gender Dysphoric Disorder. What, in your opinion is a major limitation? 
2.) In your opinion, do the benefits outweigh the costs of the diagnostic label? Or do the costs outweigh the benefits? Please state why, and find an external source that supports your claim. 
To do this, conduct internet research on your own where you share some example that supports your assertions. You can find an article, a YouTube video, a website or any other form of media. Please include a link in your post. 
Remember that you only need to address one of these two prompts. 

By this point in the week, we can determine that there is no single causal factor, and there is no definitive psychological profile that can help us find the next school shooter. What we do know, are those principles of Equifinality and Multifinality.  We are going to identify factors that we have explored this week that we have identified as risk factors correlated with shooting. Please watch the video below. 

Now that you have listened to his story, please identify risk factors in this man’s past that might have placed him at a predisposition for becoming a school shooter. Please be sure that you identify at least three risk factors and explain why they placed him at higher risk of doing what he nearly did. 
What does he say about how he was saved? What does this tell us about what can prevent school shootings?
Use some of the principles we discussed this week, such as sociometric status, developmental psychopathology, or the criminalization of mental health via the school-to-prison pipeline as you reference what he is saying. You do not need to use them all, but I would like you to identify one and incorporate it into your answer.
