Compare and contrast: "What is Abnormal?" v. Stuart's lecture

I thought that Stuart's lecture this morning sounded useful to us because it promised to discuss the sorts of questions about defining words and how words are used to label people and groups that we have been looking at in "What is Abnormal?" in Quest 2 the past few days. Unfortunately, this being a very busy term, I had another class and so was unable to attend. 
It would be great to get some comments on what Stuart said in his lecture, and especially if my idea that it raised similar questions to those we are looking at this week is right or not. Since it was on a completely different (is it so different?) topic, there must have been many differences. But were there many similarities as I expected? 

Any comments would be very welcome.
