Biophilia hypothesis

Man and Nature Experiences shape the way we view and inform our being on how we proceed to do things or how we process them personally. Ever since the humans have walked on earth, we have coexisted with nature and try to understand how it all work. In the recent centuries, we romanticize or demonize nature as something eternal, ethereal, or powerful. From Kellert’s chapters in The Biophilia Hypothesis, there are nine elements that suggests reasons why we, humans, go to nature, and one of them is “the naturalistic satisfaction”. In my own experience and Bryson’s, this “naturalistic satisfaction from direct contact with nature” that keep us coming back to nature. In the excerpt of The Biophilia Hypothesis, Wilson state an argument that, “Biophilia, if it exists, and I believe it exists, is the innately emotional affiliation of human beings to other living organisms” (1). He means that we humans are drawn to nature, not because we like…

done in Atlanta in the Chattahoochee Hills Charter School make kids think (Georgia School Ensures Kids Connect with Nature - and Go Home Dirty). Despite the efforts of schools to increase standardized test scores and grade averages by reducing recess time, there isn’t much success to show for it (Swiderski 95). Allowing the brain to rejuvenate while playing outdoors, better prepares children to come back into the classroom and learn again (Why Kids Need Nature). Exposure to nature increases…

A case study reflecting on observations of children’s schematic interests. In the paper I will be discussing the history and theories of schemas. I will include observations on a child’s schematic interests and my role as the practitioner. A Schema is a pattern of repeatable behaviour into which experiences are assimilated and that are gradually coordinated. (Athey, 1990:37) Children’s patterns are influenced through their genetically pre-determined biological development and the socio-cultural…

effect conditions for both natural and social phenomena. It can be possible when the elements, interaction of which is studied in controlled experimental conditions. And the researcher`s control over variables allows him to draw conclusions about cause-effect relationships between them. The laboratory experiments focus on the description of the connections between the behavior and its causes. These connections can be distinguished only when the experimenter has full control over individual`s…

For many years, relationship has been a major factor with the interaction of human beings. There are various ways a person can have a relationship with another individual. For instance, a person can have a professional, intimate or even a friendly relationship with one another. It was always evident that there were different among individuals however, the question that many had wondered was the vital role that these relationships had played with individuals. American psychologist Harry Harlow,…

This current semester I had the opportunity to do a project that allowed me to visit one of my friend’s family to observe her three girls. I observed her three daughters to see how each one of them is developing. I was fortunate enough to have three different ages that are at different stages of life. One just started school, the other one is not in school yet and the youngest was born less than a year ago. It really opened my eyes to how two year differences can really impact the stage the…

Norms are defined as the expectations of how people are expected to act in public. I was required to violate a norm in public and also observe a norm violation. In addition, for my norm violation I decided to go to a public place and do something that people are not expecting to see. I went to an In-and-out that is located on Panama ln and I started working out in front of costumers. For my norm violation observation I observed a co-worker that is always picking up soda cans from everyone. …

Furthermore, allowed them to generate their hypothesis of experimenting upon the correlation between crime and beauty. Sigall and Ostrove stated two hypothesis, one being that expected beautiful defendants would receive lighter punishments when their beauty was unrelated to the crime (e.g., burglary) compared to an unattractive defendant, or defendant whose beauty was unknown and the second hypothesis being that if the crime involved using one’s beauty to persuade innocent victims (e.g.,…

order to determine whether our hypothesis was correct or not, we massed out the unknown bottle, an empty bottle, and items that could potentially be inside the bottle. We also put items inside the empty bottle and compared the sound to the unknown bottle. The results showed that there were differences in sound between the unknown bottle and the empty bottle that had different items inside. Data also showed that there was a limit to what could be inside the bottle since certain items, when…

Support the implications of the study, etc.? Explain your rationale. I believe the evidence provided by the authors was sufficient enough to support a part of the authors hypothesis. The directional hypothesis the authors included in the research was teacher’s positive beliefs and knowledge about ADHD would positively correlate with the use of effective classroom practices. The authors found significant correlation between teachers’ beliefs and behavior management practices in the classroom (r =…
