Question

if at all?

and why

x~

Answer 1

Society is cruel and TV is very graphic=madness.

I would say society 50% responsible, 20% themselves (the maddness of people) 10% genetics, 20% how people are raised.

Answer 2

Society is not the main contributor to madness actually it is power. Many people who have had mass power have caused pain havoc and madness. Wars at that are the worst and they still cause madness caused by people override with power. Stress is also a contributor but it is confined within one person and is almost spread like a disease with unhappiness but being Social and communicating can actually cure it. So up straight Madness is caused by power and can sometimes be cured by society

Answer 3

Not responsible . Everyone is responsible for his own .

Answer 4

I don't think TV or society can be held accountable for what other people think or do ....we all think and accept what we want to, example.. if whats on TV is rubbish (general term ) then off it goes ....the choice is always mine ...

I refuse to be taught or shown things which I know are not in my best interest ...

I would agree TV is a teacher....but I don't have to accept it .

Answer 10

This depends, if you are talking about schizophrenia it is genetic and has physiological roots. Bi Polar disease is probably also genetic. These two diseases can be worsened or become evident because of ones circumstances or society if you will, but they have physiology to them also.

Although we can't separate the brain from the mind which means what the mind is doing (which would be affected by society) will change the physiology of the brain, certain things are still genetic.
