Many scientists study, if one’s nature is the reason for their success or if the way they were nurtured the reason for their success. The nature theory has to do with the way someone's genes; something they were born with influences their success. And the nurture theory has to do with how someone is raised or how things they are taught influences their success. Both of these theories have different aspects of how they influence individual success. Nature has both good and bad influences on…
The Black Madonnas of Europe The Mother Mary is an image of purity and beauty. She is an aspiration for women all around the world.

Simply put the argument of Nature versus Nurture in regards to human development is an argument about who someone is versus where they are. The sources of development attributed to nature find their origins in the theory of evolution, natural selection and biology. This is so, because over time a species survival is dependent on the ability to provide solutions to serious threats. These solutions translate into adaptations that are inheritable and can be seen in instinctive actions. These…

St. Helena and the Emperor Constantine Presented to the Holy Trinity by the Virgin Mary was the piece of art work that stuck out to me the most which made me choose to write my analysis essay on this amazing well thought out art work. Some of my reasoning behind choosing this piece of art is the amazing story that it shares in just one picture. Just by looking at this piece of art you can tell there is so much emotion and knowledge behind making this painting. From observing this work, it made…
in this article Ramsden (2016) only uses one form of evidence which is pottery and ceramic style to interperate political and economic affiliation and one’s ethnicity and identity. It seems as if throughout this article Ramsden (2016) is making assumptions based merely on ceramic/vessel style and the presence of the barred motif. This article was also harder and more confusing for me to read as his writing is not clear. Additionally, Ramsden (2016) mentions two sites but focuses on one, the…
Stephen Crane characterized the characters of the novel through their actions and interactions with other characters during the story. Such as Jimmie, from the opening scene it was obvious he was violent and did not care much for rules and even his own safety. In the opening fight scene Stephen Crane wrote,“In the yells of the whirling mob of Devil’s Row children there were notes of joy like songs of triumphant savagery. The little boys seemed to leer gloatingly at the blood upon the other…
The debate between nature and nurture in psychology is over the concept of what we are the outcome of. Do we become who we are, and how we think by pure genetics, or by our experiences throughout our life. Nature is more of a biology outlook on things. It focuses on genetics, and hormones for explanations on our behaviors. While on the other end of the spectrum we have Nurture which is we behave because of what we have learned from our environment. Two siblings would be one of the best ways to…
Nature versus nurture might be the oldest debate in history. This debate can also be known as biology versus psychology, genes versus environment...etc. But what is this argument about anyway? The nature side of the argument represents the genes that is inside of all of us, from our own unique personality to our physical appearance. On the other hand, nurture is the environment that shapes who we all are today. And that includes your childhood, how you are raised, just basically our surroundings…
