Heredity

Exploring a Common Underlying Cause of Substance Abuse Many people who undergo treatment for drug and/or alcohol addiction also suffer from an underlying mental illness. This occurrence is known as comorbidity; when comorbidity is present in a patient, it is vital that dual diagnoses be made so that both issues may be treated. While a person could reasonably assume that mental illness has led to addiction (or vice versa), that may not necessarily be the case. The disorders can co-exist without…

New technologies have been made to combat autism, Down syndrome and other genetic diseases that are diagnosed before a child is born (The Ethics of "Designer Babies"). This is also useful for preventing heredity linked diseases. Genetically modifying an unborn baby’s genes has also been praised by parents for allowing them to be able to “design” their child. This includes being able to choose gender, hair and eye colour, and other physical appearances. Designer…

clone.” Not only does it give the possibility of children it gives the possibility to also cure diseases. Unlike therapeutic cloning the stems cells do not necessarily have to be used to do so. By genetically mutating an unborn child’s genomes family heredity could be erased. Before fertilization a scientist could remove the genes from the parents that cause the abnormalities. By doing so the child could have an expanded healthier life. (Source…

as conformity. Mustapha Mond reveals the reasoning behind the caste system by saying, “A society of Alphas couldn’t fail to be unstable and miserable. Imagine a factory staffed by Alphas—that is to say by separate and unrelated individuals of good heredity and conditioned so so as to be capable (within limits) of making a free choice and assuming responsibilities” (Huxley 222). This says that the World State conditions its higher caste members to require more complex work, while the lower caste…

The textbook, “Development through the Lifespan”, accurately grasps this notion of the elderly having a reduced ability to regulate their body temperatures. It goes on to state that seniors who are physically fit and free of diseases suffer the least (Berk, 2014, p. 568). In my grandmother’s case, she is quite overweight and as mentioned above has high blood pressure. These two factors may further contribute to her intolerance. On a side note, I wanted to bring up the topic of ‘zone of proximal…

organization of society was clearly defined in the 1500’s, but by the mid-1600’s mixture of different races produced new groups of people, which needed new racial identities. After a hundred years, it became difficult to distinguish peoples raced based on heredity. This caused interracial babies to be born in Mexico. Spanish society evolved over two hundred…

person is wea, that person will more likely conduct a criminal act, because they think people are judging them and they can’t conform with social expectations. Biological approaches are caused by biological makeup, and that means it’s cause from heredity. The traits are shared and offenders are moved by unconscious need to be punished, they lose control only because their parents may have been crazy so now they feel that they will fail and be punished unless they commit a similar act of…

& health in an ideal society. There should not have slavery. Every man has right to choose a work he want to do for his livelihood learning. Equality should be given in a healthy society on the basis of a person’s own effort not on the basis of heredity (family name), colour. All should given equal respect as…
