throughout the novel asks whether the daemon corrupts society or if society corrupts him. Nature versus nurture is a long-debated topic in the psychological field; not only can the argument vouch for humans, but it can also apply to Frankenstein’s daemon. Specifically, through the daemon’s interactions with the humans around him, it is evident that environmental factors have a more profound impact on him, rather than nature. Since Frankenstein abandoned the daemon after he created him, the…

Frankenstein failed to be the Mother that his monster needed. Motherhood befalls those who birth a child. Whether they want it is another idea, but regardless of their wants they have created a new being that they usually feel the instinctual need to nurture. This instinct is supposedly ingrained in all Mothers, but their instinct only follows one rule: keep the created being alive until it “grows up”. The means used by Mothers to keep their children alive to adulthood have great variance that…

Can a Heritable Trait Be Changed? This myth comes from a very common misconception that heritability is determined by genetics, which is false in itself. Heritability explains variation in traits, but does not address how traits are passed down from parent to child.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution gives examples of how traits…

“The first thought that goes through your mind is what you have been conditioned to think; what you think next defines who you are.” This quote seems relevant as we examine the root causes of racism and what we can do about it.

The idea that we could draw connections between the conduct of mice and humans escaped me; I had forgotten that humans were, in fact, animals. Sapolsky does his best to drive this point home as he humorously, yet intellectually, illustrates the idea that humans and animals are often more similar…
