I chose the topic climate change, and provided the two peer reviewed article already. I have attached the articles and a article the professor gave to review prior to completing the assignment.  Reflect: When considering a research topic, consider an interesting topic that is worth further research. For instance, having a strong opinion on a specific topic may deter you from thinking more critically, and therefore the research might end up being one-sided. It is a good idea to pick a topic in which you can provide a good argument for both sides of the societal issue.   Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts: ·       Identify a global societal issue from the following list that you would consider researching further for your Week 5 Final Paper: o   Climate change o   Pollution o   Religious conflict and violence o   Rise of artificial intelligence o   Lack of education o   Unemployment and lack of economic opportunity o   Government accountability and corruption o   Food and water security o   International drug trafficking o   Poverty and income inequality ·       Describe effective methods you used in identifying and narrowing down to just one of the topics to further research for your Final Paper. ·       Explain three ways you can critically analyze sources to determine if they are scholarly. ·       Summarize information from at least two scholarly journal articles from the Ashford University Library that will support your claims for your chosen topic. ·       Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic. ·       Download and attach a PDF copy of one of the peer-reviewed scholarly articles that you found from the Ashford University Library to your answer using the “Attach” function located below your response.

DQQ#9: Diagnostic Labeling versus Diagnostic Inflation Psychiatrist Allen Frances, M.D. was the chair of the DSM task force responsible for updating the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to its 4th version (American Psychiatric Association, 2004).  Years later, when the DSM 5 came out (APA, 2013), he had a lot to say about what he saw as its shortcomings.  Essentially, Frances claimed that earlier, he and his team had gone too far with their own good intentions, and said that the DSM 5 team had made the situation even worse.  He argued that new categories and criteria in the DSM 5 would lead to “diagnostic hyperinflation,” and that numerous people who did not have mental disorders would soon come to be regarded as mentally ill.  I have attached two chapters of his book in a .pdf file to this DBQ, and I encourage you to read as much of it as you can (it is huge, I know –over 60 pages) before giving your response to these questions:  (BTW, when you open it in Adobe, hit View >Rotate View> Counterclockwise to read it.)  Here are your questions:. 1.  In what ways does use of the DSM help mental professionals help their patients?  In what ways does it hurt?  2.  How might diagnostic labels (or the processes of diagnosing patients) contribute to maladjustment?  3.  How might these labels lead to better care of these patients, or better self care? 4.  Do you agree or disagree with Dr. Frances, and why? Write a brief essay (at least 400 words) sharing your own reactions, thoughts and evaluation.  DO NOT QUOTE YOUR SOURCE MATERIAL.  Use their ideas in your own words, and cite them in APA (Author, Year) format; include an APA style References section (which is not part of your essay’s word count).
