begins as a blank slate‚” according to psychology writer and expert Kendra Cherry in her article “What is Nature versus Nurture.” However if everyone starts on the same level‚ how does that explain geniuses? If everyone were born with the same potential talent‚ there would be no reason for one person to be better at something than another person. On the other hand‚ everything we can do can be explained as a result of inherent ability encoded into our very DNA. Anything we do not have a natural predisposition

What do you think of when the word Lemur is said? What is a lemur exactly? In particular‚ I found the picture of lemurs to be most interesting. Not only do lemurs have long tails‚ but their tails are black and white with a horizontal pattern‚ however there is one species of lemurs that do not have long tails.

My original understanding of what it meant to be a registered nurse is that nursing is a job that is suitable for women only and unsuitable for men. I thought that nurse is not a professional job as a nurse cleans their patients waste and clean the infected or injured area. I also thought that only nurses who graduate from a degree in nursing can become a nurse and nurses only work in hospital. In my opinion‚ I think that a nurse job is only taking care of the patients by giving their patients medicines

(nature) or the environment (nurture)‚ do you think plays a larger role in the development of who you are? Please provide me with what percentage you think each contributes‚ for example‚ 50% genetics/50% environment. I personally feel like most of the habits you develop are from the environment (nurture). I would say it’s about 70% nurture and 30% nature. I believe that most of the habits people pick up are because they have seen it done by someone else. Now I do know of some things that come about

I’ve always asked her why I don’t ever get to see him and why she doesn’t ever talk about him. When I was a little girl‚ she told me not to talk to any boys. Why? Because boys

rights are those rights of any species that exist outside of artificial legal contrivances. Fish that swim in the ocean do so by natural right and not out of some legislation that allows it. Here then are John Lockes own words on the subject: "The main intention of nature‚ which willeth the increase of mankind‚ and the continuation of the species in the highest perfection" "The people can not delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves."

contemporary Islamist thought. In order to assess this claim‚ there are two questions which must be addressed: firstly‚ what is meant by the term “Islamist” in this context; secondly‚ what role did Qutb play in shaping this movement? “Islamism” may be better referred to as Islamic puritanism‚ a term coined by Khaled Abou el Fadl in his book The Great Theft. Abou el Fadl defines puritans as those who have an “absolutist and uncompromising” approach to Islam: most puritan groups take a very narrow interpretation
