1.4 Experiencing dyslexia To illustrate just how problematic the idea of ‘abnormality’ is in practice, we will consider the condition of developmental dyslexia, dyslexia for short. Dyslexia is relatively common and you may have knowledge of it from friends or personal experience. The following section illustrates many of the difficulties experienced by people with dyslexia, and it also highlights more generally some of the problems that can occur if you are not, in some sense, ‘normal’.

4.4 Bar charts Bar charts show data in the form of bars that illustrate the relationship between the items of information in terms of size: the bars get larger (generally taller) as the amounts being shown increase. When the bars touch, they show continuous data. In other words, data that changes gradually along some sort of a scale, for example weight, height, temperature, or length (these charts are called histograms, see Author(s): The week ahead: The charade of North Korean diplomacy The start of the Winter Olympics has seen a temporary thaw in relations on the Korean peninsula.

How well has Russia ridden out the global financial storm? Is authoritaria
Decisions on whether and how much mitigation of the risks of dangerous climate change is justified raises exceptional challenges.

He explores the value judgements that must be made when comparing welfare of people with different incomes and wealth, living in different countries, at different times. He also looks at how these con
