Retrospective Analysis of Personality It is interesting to note how different our personal view changes when we dedicate some time to dissect and analyze any part of the process for thinking and making decisions. From an optimistic point of view, it offers a glimpse of reality and an opportunity to evaluate if what is been examined is celebration worthy, acceptable or unacceptable and changeable. To glance beyond what is there and look at the possible causes and circumstances that made that…
I found a very interesting article in the Capella library. The article is called “Nature vs. Nurture in Special Education”. The article states that “schools are organized as if nature has already won the contest (Marks, S. U. (2009)). This is so significant with school systems today, because it is the truth. A child who has a disability is almost always put into a special education class. They are not even given the opportunity to show that they are able to learn without extra supports. School…
The break-even analysis completed for each of the above assumptions revealed how sensitive each of the assumption is in terms of a percentage amount to the NPV calculation. Basically, the lower the absolute change in percentage the more sensitive the assumption is to the NPV calculation. The projected volume (1), price per unit (3) and production cost per unit (6) rank in the top six most sensitive assumptions to the NPV calculation. If Wiley International does not make enough, charge…
The impact of heredity and environment is indeed undeniable and the two are significantly intertwined. The development of the emotional characteristics depends on the influence of the environment, but the physical genetic manifestations such as color of skin, eye color, height, etc. are maintained. The emotional characteristics for the most determine the shaping of the individuals’ disposition and character. As expressed by Collins et al., “Estimating the effects of heredity versus…
Nature versus Nurture has been one of the major controversies in all of time. Whether inherited genes or environmental influences can affect one’s personality, behavior, development intelligence, and ability. While nature is mainly characterized by physical attributes inherited from generation to generation, nurture is mainly in control of a person’s character and manner. Either Adam, the monster, could have been born with his savage ways or he could have acquired these ways from society. Nature…
The Vesperbild and the Pieta are funeral monument pieces conveying the emotions of pity, passion, and pain. Christ and the Virgin Mary effectively capture and translate those emotions from the artists’ imagination. Each sculpture successfully depicts the death of Christ, which Mary holds upon her lap in vein with high details as well. Most importantly, both sculptors found it fit to extend a particular style which they made their own when sculpting. Beyond the Vesperbild and the Pieta both…
In the debate of nature versus nurture I would conclude that Aristotle 's statement saying that who we are is primarily dependent on our environment seems to be very accurate. (book) Although I am not a scientist, I have done additional research to come to this conclusion that our personalities develop according to our environment. Many times when I answer the home phone, people assume that it is my mother who is answering. When they learn that it is me, her daughter, they are stunned and…
A conversation has been sparked from current parents to those who are thinking of having a family on how they can ensure that their child will grow up in the best way possible. The argument of nature versus nurture has ignited a conversation with both individuals active in the science community, as well as, the average individual. During the Inheritance podcast of RadioLab, the elements in which directly influence a child’s genes and upbringing are discussed using examples from studies done on…
Nature vs. Nurture: Aggression For decades, scientists have been debating about the issue of nature versus nurture. Are a person’s personality traits a result of nature or of his or her environment? Is aggression something we are born with or is it something we learn from our environment? According to the American Psychological Association, the word ‘aggression’ is defined as “behaviors that cause psychological or physical harm to another individual”. There are many studies that have been done…
The Sunday School Easter program was about to begin at Bethesda Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. For my last time speaking in front of the congregation before leaving for Tennessee State University (TSU), I was charged with introducing the speaker of the program. As I stood in front of hundreds of people to recite the introduction that I wrote, I was confident and thoughts of how far I had come since giving my life to Christ ran thru my mind. My spiritual journey began when I was about 5…
