 * __﻿____Social dysfunction__: any social pattern that may disrupt the operation of society
 * In every episode the CBI deals with murder or kidnapping which are both social dysfunctions.


 * __Feminism__: support of social equality for women and men
 * Teresa Lisbon can be seen as sort of a feminist because she has gone against the norms and what is expected of women and has become the leader of her team in the CBI and is a strong, independent woman who stands up for herself.
 * __Participant observation__: a research method in which investigators systematically observe people while joining them in their routine activities
 * This can be seen when Agent Lisbon and Jane visit Visualize to investigate the murder of a Visualize member. Jane sits in on a reading in order to fully engulf him in the scene.


 * ** Micro-level Orientation: A close-up focus on social interaction in specific situations. **
 * ** In every episode there is at least one crime committed and each of these crimes focuses within that area and those people. **
 * ** Cause and Effect: A relationship in which change in one variable causes change in another. **
 * ** This can be seen in the Mentalist when evidence for or against someone changes or is found, the results of the case change based on those results. **
 * ** High-Income Countries: The nations with the highest overall standards of living. **
 * ** The setting on the Mentalist is in Sacramento, California, which is located in the high-income country, the United States. This can be seen with the technology advancements and well-off nature of the location. **
