and social explanation. The biological explanations have three main approaches: psychodynamic theory‚ ethology and evolutionary social psychology. In contrast‚ the social explanations include: frustration-aggression hypothesis‚ excitation transfer model and social learning theory. In this essay I will discuss about ethology and the social learning theory. Ethology is a branch of biology that studies instincts of all members of a species in their natural environment. Lorenz (1966) proposed that aggression

The biological approach attempts to explain all behaviour through biology‚ particularly focusing on genetics‚ neurochemistry and hormonal changes as well as how evolution may have shaped human behaviour. Genes carry the instructions for the development of characteristics like intelligence‚ temperament and height. The main focus on how genetics has influenced our behaviour has looked at genotype and phenotype. Genotype is the genes a person has. Phenotype is the characteristics their genes produce

HISTORY OF THEORY OF EVOLUTION In 1543‚ a young Flemish anatomist Andreas Vesalius challenged Galen’s theories of the Human Body. This discovery had an impact on scientists. Vesalius’ discovery of the important differences between species also helped usher in the science of comparative anatomy‚ in which researchers studied animals to find their similarities and differences. In the process‚ they gradually began to recognize humans as being one species among many‚ with a few unique traits but

There is the interplay of hereditary‚ biology and the social environment provides the consideration of crime. I think it will help understand the action better and who might have these specific biological traits but as for a full understanding of criminality it will not help because there is a lot more to consider then just biology alone.

paper compares the perspectives of evolutionary psychology and social structural theory on sex differences in jealousy‚ mate preferences‚ and aggression. These two theories shed somewhat different lights on the origins of sex differences between men and women. Both theories discuss sex differences in mate preferences‚ jealousy‚ and aggression. Explanations from the two theories are compared and contrasted. Explanations for Sex Differences Evolutionary psychologists have developed a theory

Science is an organized body of knowledge supported by observation and experimentation‚ derived from the natural phenomena of the entire material universe. Biology had flourished a great deal in ancient India. Various systems of classifying animals and plants were developed‚ for example Jeevaj (Viviparous) animals that give birth to young one‚ Andaj (Oviparous) animals that lay eggs‚ etc. Cultivation of rice was first introduced in India. It is estimated that more than 1000 varieties of rice had

Every time somebody who is not very involved in the science community reads about Evolutionary Theory‚ they automatically think of the standard definition of theory‚ a guess‚ when in fact‚ scientifically‚ it is a well-substantiated‚ well-supported‚ well-documented explanation for our observations.1 This is a very common misconception that
