The human experience starts at birth and ends with death. One of the greatest debates throughout the era of modern psychology is nature vs. nurture. Understanding what makes a person the way they are can be controversial. Some argue that a person’s genetic makeup strictly dictates who that person will become, while others believe the way they are raised, no matter their genetics, makes them who they are. Both the environment a child is raised in and their genetic makeup will dictate the…

a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s establishment of religion (Masci, 2014). This law was amended because it was creating an environment in which religious students could question their view, and possibly insult their ideological upbringings. Biology-Online Dictionary states that the definition of evolution is, “The change in genetic composition of a population over successive generations.” This idea of evolution was well studied by a scientist known as Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin…

Laws are irrevocable rules that have been set to the maintenance of a civilization. In our current society laws are the negative answers that can’t be change, they denied humanity of certain desires. Humans’ mind naturally empowers the will to overcome any denial action or answer. Laws, orders, and rules are the irreversible “no” that a child must understand of which Roseau speaks “Let him know only that he is weak and you are strong … let all your refusals be irrevocable; let no importunity…

modalities available within the app, mostly being comprised of text components and some drawing and video components. All levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy are addressed within the app. This would have been an app that I would have enjoyed in my 10th grade biology class as well as the anatomy and physiology classes I took in my undergrad. This is still an app that I would use today…

Yahweh vs. The World on the Turtle’s Back “The World on the Turtle’s Back” and “Yahweh” share many similarities and differences. They both talk about two culture’s beliefs about how the Earth was created, and how the plants and animals came to be. “The World on the Turtle’s Back” comes from the Native American tribes while “Yahweh” is a Hebrew tale. Both are interesting tales and help us understand these two vastly different cultures. In “The World on a Turtle’s Back” there is a pregnant woman…

There are two different types of motor skills, gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are more likely to develop first because it includes activities that involve large muscles. An example of a gross motor skill is when my son first learned how to lift his head and eventually sit up straight on his own. The second type of motor skill is a fine motor skill. Fine motor skills are movements that require the ability to use smaller muscles to perform finely coordinated…

Animal Testing There has been a long debate on whether animal should be used as a main source of testing Animals have been experimented and tested on for centuries. People came up with the idea that if they were unsure how a substance or compound would react on them, they started to use the same chemical on animal to see the results. They would then compare the results with the humans once they were used as test subjects. Animals have proven to be a source for testing since they have similar…

Almost everyone can relate to the concept of family. Most people have at least one fond memory of their childhood, spent with family, either biological or chosen. If not, someone can relate the themes of love and family to their adult life, possibly with their own kids. The texts involved can hopefully be relatable to both children and adults. My little library aims to draw on those memories and allow people to reminisce on times in their life when family was influential as well as inclusive and…

Writing Assignment #1 Lasiognathus dinema There are a couple misconceptions you might have about evolution and natural selection. The strongest and most important organisms do not survive over the generations. Although evolution occurs due to fitness in an individual or individuals of a species, an organism cannot survive over generations. Fitness is achieved through variations in populations of species through genetic differentiation (Scottville “n.d.”). Since the life cycle of all living…

Charles Darwin is a scientist that came up with the theory of natural selection to explain variation and evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype (Zimmer&Emlen, 2013). This means that in an environment where the condition is constantly changing, species that stay in that environment and use it as their habitat adapt to the changes of the environment to survive the changes and their off springs are also able to…
