The article on sex offenders was actually a very interesting article to read because it brings up a whole new different level of how congress would like to handle the situation on sex offenders that want to travel.

I am not sure how would this make a difference as to keeping people safe when they are traveling and if anything it makes it worst for the those who have been…

Human nature tends to be drawn towards positive rewarding opportunities versus negative disciplined experiences (The School of Life, 2014). In addition, the mind is comprised of three competing parts: Id, Ego, and the Superego. The Id is made up of two basic instincts of sex and aggression whereas the Superego represents morality. The Ego which develops later in life helps…

important when it comes to reproduction of humans and how people can ensure that human babies will not develop conditions that would impede their own attempts of reproduction or be detrimental to their health. By studying the effects of pre-natal stress on rats, it allows scientists to gain an understanding of how environmental factors can affect their future offspring. The purpose of this study was to identify how pre-natal stress influences sexual behaviors of male rats. We conducted one study…
