The catalyst model, as described in Ferguson & Beaver (2009), is a model that “suggests that personality is shaped by a combination of genetics and learning, in which family or care-giving influences are predominant.” As such the model straddles the individual level because of the focus on genetics, as well as the relationship level, which focuses on behaviors that one can learn from people close to the individual. For the purposes of my argument, I am going to focus on the genetic component of…

investigation of prostitution three years later. From 1910 to 1917, 43 different cities followed suit with similar commissions that flouted their propaganda in hopes of banning prostitution.
