>>219630 No, I'm saying that society (via norms, folkways, and other means) defines "normal" and "abnormal" behavior. Certain mental conditions are genetic in origin, but not all. Nature vs. nurture and all that. Get yourself a used Intro Psych textbook.
What bugs me is that zoologist here can't even state that the bear has a particular disorder, only that he's a "psychopath". Look, you're dealing with a young, active, captive raised but none-the-less WILD FUCKING BEAR. Of course it's going to act sporadically at times, it's a wild animal. Labling its behavior as psychopathic is an absurd misuse of the term. ("psychopath" is practically useless anyway)
