1. Is personality innate or learned? 2. Is personality conscious or unconscious? 3. Is personality influenced by interior or exterior factors? So, not only is the topic of personality complex, but it is also multi-faced, with theories both complementing and contradicting each other. To understand personality, is to understand the four major perspectives on it: Psychodynamic, Behavioral and Social Cognitive, Humanistic, and Trait. The psychodynamic perspective views personality as primarily…

Social deviance has existed in every place in the world that has norms that people should follow. Howard S. Becker says that ‘’It is not the act itself, but the reactions to the act, that make something deviant’’. So it doesn’t matter what you do, what it matter is what happens next. Social classes play a huge role as gender roles in social deviance. Because of how people are taught, how their environment is (nature vs. nurture), and things like that, also their culture and the society where…

Biological factors determine the roles that men and women play in society. Because of the roles the people perform seam fixed. These roles are determined by a combination of biological and sociocultural factors. The gender role is born in nature, and it decide the role you play in the world.

Once in our high school life have we wondered why we cram up the definitions of sin, cos or the theories that lead to Newton’s law. Once in our high school life have we been asked what majors we are fond of, as well as received harsh exclamations from people who declare our intentions as impractical. Once in our high school life have we been barred from enrolling in a creative art class since we are inclined to acquire a mastery of “top classes” which involve mathematics and science-related…

than in heterosexual men and women. These studies also revealed that connections in the amygdalae of gay men resemble those of straight women, and in heterosexual men and homosexual women. (Oria, 2014) Also, other studies have shown that the corpus callosum has a different structure in gay men and straight men. One last theory I found was that the mother’s hormone imbalance during pregnancy may cause a child’s homosexual tendencies later in life. This was the thesis of Glenn Wilson who wrote the…

Canada 's current public education system is both flawed and lacking. Students are likely to focus more in a classroom with people of the same gender and age, as they are less prone to be distracted.

The motor cortex is the area of the brain that translates musical tones into motor movement triggering motor nerves to trigger movement, foot…

ASD is found in approximately one in every sixty-eight children, and of those sixty-eight every four are girls being diagnosed (Arky; Makin). This report has recently been found false because of skewed research. Because there are not very many girls being diagnosed with the autism spectrum disorder, ASD, it is difficult to research these girls. Due to having little research on autism girls, it is tough to find a way to treat girls with autism (Solomon et al. 57). The autism spectrum disorder is…
