question from the study group

Hey guys, yesterday in the study group we had some difficulty identifying groups associated with the creation of "knowledge." We were on the right track, we identified the groups correctly, it was their motivations that we didn't quite get.

So... pharmaceutical companies: SAD, female sexual dysfunction disorder...
social groups: AA - alcoholism
Unions/workers: miners and black lung, etc.

In each case a particular group/organization have created a category of
disease/syndrome for various reasons: money, social justice, rights, etc

hope this clears things up for question 7.
