Introduction
Whether or not culture molded sport in Australia was a good beginning. The 1788 invasion came later than the other invasions of North America and South America. The colonies in Australia saw a speedy spread of British and Irish civilization. After that the industrial revolution followed, assisted by the steamships, railway connection and the cables. Most of the Austrians living in the towns had a different way of behavior and mode of speech, Even though it was not as detailed as in the way of dressing, beliefs, and dances. While the culture from time in memorial molded the national folklore, it was molded by the settlement of the English people and the spread of the largest English Empire in the world by 1900.
Evolution of sports in Australia
500,000 years ago during the Aboriginal era, sports and games went hand in hand with religion and dances via ceremonies; the nature of the dance was determined by the region, group, and the skin color. The only surviving heritage is the one being found to the north of Darwin in Tiwi islands. The native lifestyles of the Aboriginals shaped the lives of people like Andrew McLeod. He attributed his success to his hunting experience he had as a child which made him develop fast feet. In the year 1788 to 1850s, there was a rise in sports which were rough and cruel. Most of the games included boxing, horse racing, dog racing, and. The games were mainly related to alcohol and gambling.
There were other types of games, which were less rough and cruel. Such as English hunting, this involved hunting of rabbits, using dogs, rowing and later cycling. From the year 1850 to 1890 saw the rise of more organized sports, during the same decade building workers at Melbourne University voted and won the eight hours rest and the Saturdays half holiday. This depicted Australia as a nation which cherished leisure and work. That has changed as Austrians now work for much longer hours than the rest of other developed countries.
The first organized football match was played in the year 1858 after the rules were put in place in august of the same year. The match was played at the Yarra Park. The game was a product of a variety of various influences. Like most football sports it was first formed by gentlemen. It was initially designed to keep the cricket players busy during the winter. The first match played was between Scotch College and Melbourne football club.
Conclusion
Australia experienced growth in football from the year 1960 to 1980. With the availability of swimming pools, fitness centers, high schools and universities with more space for introduction of other games. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century Australia has risen and excelled in various games including , winning the world rugby title, cricket, hockey, coming in at position four at the Olympic games in Sydney and various sportsmen and women winning individual titles. Austrians love of sports and their country are manifested by the huge number of fans cheering their teams. This was witnessed during the 2004 FIFA world cup in Germany. The fans cheered the national soccer team to the second round where they were eliminated by Italy. A game the Austrians felt they were robbed off via a penalty given to Italy.
The DSM-IV-TR represents a categorical model of abnormality.
The DSM-IV-TR represents a categorical model of abnormality. Some psychologists have suggested that a dimensional model (where behavior exists on a continuum and “abnormal” is simply an extreme form of normal behaviors) may be more accurate. Do you support the categorical approach or the dimensional? Why? Which model (categorical or dimensional) would be of greatest use to clinicians? What about researchers?
DSM has always promoted categorization of personality disorders. This approach entails treating abnormalities of personality as discrete entities through hierarchical structuring. In contrast, the dimensional model treats personality disorders as measurable continua and does not place people in diagnostic categories. Simply put, DSM approach attempts to evaluate the absence or presence of a particular disorder whereas the dimensional model seeks to explore the degree of a particular personality disposition. In my view, clustering of disorders into different classes- a doctrine supported by DSM-IV-TR -is inferior to treating disorders as a continuum and that’s why is support the dimensional model. Another reason, why I disapprove of the DSM-IV-TR approach is that this categorization system prescribes to arbitrary thresholds for diagnosis. As result, you find that sometimes there are heterogeneities, extensive overlaps or co-morbidity within categories. In addition, this approach does not cover the complexities and subtleties of the personality psychopathology.
On the contrary, dimensional model captures important clinical information that the DSM-IV-TR model cannot. In addition, the dimensional model captures clinical heterogeneity and co-morbidity well and gives a more reliable description of all types of patients. It is due to these reasons that I feel dimensional model could be more useful to clinicians than the DSM-IV-TR approach. Another reason why clinicians would rather depend on dimensional model than DSM-IV-TR approach is due to the fact that some patients may have clinically significant traits that are below the threshold of diagnosis and these patients are likely to go untreated if clinicians use the DSM-IV-TR model.
For researchers, I still think the dimensional model could be more useful than the DSM-IV-TR model. This is because unlike, the DSM-IV-TR model, dimensional model provides researchers with room to re-assess personality disorders rather than relying on the categorizations that have been established through the DSM-IV-TR approach. In addition, DSM-IV-TR gives researchers an opportunity to resolve the existing disagreements about the presence or the absence of a particular disorder.
