    possible to explore whether or not the addictive behavior of alcoholism is genetically based. To understand‚ we must first have a definition of what alcoholism is and the difference between the concepts of nature and nurture.

    Based on what I have learned in PSYC. 101‚ principals of psychology‚ the theory I have taken an interest in is functionalism and nature vs. nurture theory.

One problem with this is how to pin a trait down to either an inherited or learned characteristic‚ or perhaps it’s both. Are we to blame for our behavior or is inevitable due to our genetics? This question and others seems to be part of the controversy over the subject

In this entry I will describe this comic strip and give my opinion of what

    The concept ‘nature vs. nurture’ refers to the debate surrounding the influence of genetic factors and the environment in determining personality. It still remains contentious as to whether our personality is primarily determined by inherent genetics (biological approach) or by environmental conditioning (behaviourist approach).

    The way in which a person grows and develops is determined by how we are nurtured throughout our life. The article What Is Nature Versus Nurture by Kendra Cherry said “John Locke believed in what is known as Tabula Rasa‚ which suggests that the mind begins as a blank space.” In plain english this means that when we are born we have the potential to be anyone and it will be determined by our experiences. This means that our environment may turn us into a good samaritan or even an evil killer (couch

I have chosen Caliban to discuss‚ since‚ as an actor‚ I find him the most interesting character and thus the most enjoyable to discuss.
