Depression is the most well known psychological disorder, and in women it is the leading cause of disease-related disability (Noble 2005). Depression typically develops with a negative self-attributional style and a negative view of oneself. The causes of depression aren’t concrete, but they may root in genetic differences, physiological differences and perceptual differences.

Moral ambiguity, strategic, and expressive voting can be understood as facets of the “problem of consensus” and the exclusion of religious arguments (or the inclusion of the duty of civility) from PJP.
