Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complicated mental health problem that is hard to make sense of put together; many people tend to confuse Schizophrenia with multiple personality disorders, but has no connection with it whatsoever. "Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe mental disorder that affects the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others" (Bhandari, 2022). It can also be defined as: "Schizophrenia refers to both a single condition and a spectrum of conditions that fall under the category of psychotic disorders" (Cleveland Clinic, 2018). Many behaviors or experiences may be a part of this disorder; or the behaviors could be due to schizophrenia. "When schizophrenia is active, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, trouble with thinking and lack of motivation" (American Psychiatric Association, 2020).

Science Behind Transmission of Norms and Values
Functionalists support the process of socialisation in society as the main agencies teach individuals the expected norms, values and attitudes in society which will create social order and prevent deviance, (item b). A functionalist which supports socialisation is Talcott Parsons who introduces his theory on the ‘organic analogy’. Parsons refers to the organs in the body as a reflection of how society operates in a stable manner. Socialisation benefits society as it teaches all the correct norms and values to all in society from a young age. This creates social cohesion, meaning that society becomes stable, which reduces and helps to prevent crime and deviance in society. Talcott Parsons introduced the term ‘value consensus’, which is formed due to socialisation. Value consensus is when all in society are in an agreement, leading to social stability. Agencies of socialisation, like family, reinforce value consensus. Family acts as primary socialisation, and it teaches the key norms and values of society, such as manners and societal norms. Such is taught from a very young age, which is significant in reinforcing value consensus as it unites all in society by creating agreement. However, a Marxist interpretation may dispute this as they would argue that primary socialisation is different for upper-class children and working-class children as the bourgeoisie teach their children the exploitation of the working class.
