Regardless of one’s point of view, it is very clear that crimes are occurring and that biological, sociological, and psychological theories have been developed in an attempt to help understand why it is that some individuals take part in these crimes. There are many things that…

The static created by my ancient car stereo couldn’t be masked by the peppy top 40 song that was wheezily, albeit determinedly, asking me if I ever felt “like a plastic bag.” Though it wasn’t my usual groove I couldn’t help but get swept along in the raspy yet catchy tune, and belted out a verse. The steady tapping of rain against my windows created a peaceful backup to my one man show, and painted a beautiful mirage on my windshield that was swept away every few seconds, only to be replaced just as quickly by a brand new raindrop masterpiece.…
Cultural change influences the social assets of a person or a community. It can affect people's behavior, perception, or the way they think. America, in particular, is a weird nation because it is an outlier (Watters 492). In Ethan Watters’s essay, “Being WEIRD: How Culture Shapes the Mind,” Watters depicts the importance of culture shaping human development, focusing on the psychological aspects that cultivates the human mind. If America decided to change its cultural view of itself, it would be more aware and accepting.…

“The Blind Side” is a film depiction of the life of NFL left tackle, Michael Oher and his miraculous transition from being a homeless teen to becoming an NFL first round draft. The film follows the development of Michael as he is taken off the street by the Tuohy’s and with their support became involved with football. I chose this film because it portrays the social and behavioural development of a teen without a stable upbringing and how it affects his relationship and encounters with others. The movie does not only show the development aspect of one stage of adolescence but follows Michael’s character from childhood to his adult years. As well, the movie forms basis of comparison between Michael and the Tuohy children.…

Other research looked at treatment within mental health institutions.…

While girls are seen as “sugar and spice” that depicts them to be sweet and keen. There seem to be more of a positive, uplifting meaning behind the young female’s context of nursery rhymes than young males.…
