Answer to Question 1

Answer: (1) expected or culturally sanctioned response to a particular event (such as the death of a loved one); (2) deviant behaviors (such as the actions of political, religious, or sexual minorities); (3) conflicts that are between the individual and society (voluntary efforts to express individuality such as political protest or controversial art work)

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The duration of a person's symptoms is important because mental disorders are defined in terms of persistent maladaptive behaviors. Many unusual behaviors and inexplicable experiences are short lived; if we ignore them, they go away. Some forms of problematic behavior are not transient, and they eventually interfere with the person's social and occupational functioning.
