Nature is the genes that are passed down from your parents to you, telling how your personality will form in the future. The first fact I found on nature was that identical twins share the same DNA, so in return, they look alike. Since they share the same DNA, they both might dislike the same things also. For example, in the first vialogue, the two twin sisters both hated being touched by the shower curtain while in the shower. So identical twins have the same feeling senses as one another. Identical twins can also have a high chance of having the same taste senses. Some twins might like sour food, but they might not like sweet food, which is normal in twins. Another thing that is normal in twins is their test results. Twins have an 80% chance …show more content…
In the fourth vialogue, we were introduced to feral children. Feral children are kids who have been neglected by their parents, and they are left to fend for themselves. For example, a young girl was thrown out into the wild by her parents because they didn't want to take care of her anymore. She had no food, and she had no protection. However, a pack of stray dogs became her new “family.” She learned how to walk like them, eat like them, and live in the conditions as a dog. When the rescuers found her, she acted completely like a dog. So this means that she was the way she was because that’s how she was nurtured. It was not in her genes to live like a dog, she just had to adapt to a new lifestyle. Just because one case of a feral child was in the wild, doesn’t mean all cases are like that. One child we were introduced to was a young girl named Jeanie. Jeanie lived with her father, and her other siblings in an old, run-down house. Her father was a nasty man, who abused Jeanie and her siblings. He beat them, gave them little food, and he never let them go outside of the house. So they never really had any human interaction. When Jeanie was rescued, she did not know how to speak, or how to go to the restroom properly. At first, they thought she had Autism, but they quickly found out she just wasn’t nurtured well by her dad. To conclude the nurture debate, I believe that these two cases of feral children were because of how they were
One of the cases found in the novel by Cynthia Crosson-Tower dealt with a little girl by the name of Jessica Barton. Although still a small child, her foster family had an issue trying to raise her in which she gave them behavioral issues and she would not react to them and was hard to ...
When Sophia and Princess Calizaire were four and seven years old, they were taken into foster care after their mother left them stranded at a motel. However, this simple abandonment led to a series of problems. Not only were they tossed from house to house as if they were trash, but they also suffered abuse from their foster families. On several occasions, the two sisters were beaten with belts, hangars, and heels, as well as having their heads submerged in sinks until they were near death; they ate dog food, slept outside, and were raped daily. Luckily, the two girls were able to survive, so that they may share their stories in adulthood. The women now live to warn others of the dangers of foster care, as they did through their interview with
It was times throughout the book the reader would be unsure if the children would even make it. For example, “Lori was lurching around the living room, her eyebrows and bangs all singed off…she had blisters the length of her thighs”(178).Both Lori and Jeannette caught fire trying to do what a parent is supposed to do for their child. Jeannette caught fire at the age of three trying to make hotdogs because her mother did not cook for her leaving Jeannette to spend weeks hospitalized. She was burnt so bad she had to get a skin graft, the doctors even said she was lucky to be alive. The children never had a stable home. They were very nomadic and a child should be brought up to have one stable home. No child should remember their childhood constantly moving. This even led to Maureen not knowing where she come from because all she can remember is her moving. The children had to explain to her why she looked so different is because where she was born. They told Maureen “she was blond because she’d been born in a state where so much gold have been mined, and she had blue eyes the color of the
When Cris Bean was writing the book, he mentioned a couple of times the fact of how traumatizing it can be for kids who end up in foster care. When a kid is placed into the foster care system, it can be very stressful and disorientating the first few days. Probably the hardest part is wrapping your head around the fact that now a child is in the foster care system and why are they there. Many kids that are older probably did not have to follow many rules since the biological parents where perhaps on drugs, alcohol, or not even being there at all. So, living in a new house with rules can be a very difficult thing to follow, or even if the child has reasoning for right and wrong.
Working as a teacher serving at-risk four-year-old children, approximately six of her eighteen students lived in foster care. The environment introduced Kathy to the impact of domestic violence, drugs, and family instability on a developing child. Her family lineage had a history of social service and she found herself concerned with the wellbeing of one little girl. Angelica, a foster child in Kathy’s class soon to be displaced again was born the daughter of a drug addict. She had been labeled a troublemaker, yet the Harrisons took the thirty-hour training for foster and adoptive care and brought her home to adopt. Within six months, the family would also adopted Angie’s sister Neddy. This is when the Harrison family dynamic drastically changes and Kathy begins a journey with over a hundred foster children passing through her home seeking refuge.
Nature, in its essence, is the cause/effect relationship offered to things with ascertainable objectivity, occurring without cause. From this we can logically state that the nature of something (something being an object with "thinghood", as humorously described in class) is its beginning, purpose and stereo-type.
Growing up for me some would say it was rather difficult and in some ways I would agree. There have been a lot of rough times that I have been through. This has and will affect my life for the rest of my life. The leading up to adoption, adoption and after adoption are the reasons my life were difficult.
Feral children are humans that have lived away from human contact in as early as from immediately they are born. These children have little experience of human care that entails social care, love and especially, human language. Feral children live wildly in isolation. Sometimes, they interact more with animals than human beings.
Nature is the affect on your personality caused by genetics. From the twin sisters that were separated at birth and grew up on different continents, Anais and Sam have a lot in common. Fro the ame pet peeve to the same laugh. The Jim twins are another great example of nature. They are not your average set of twins, they have the same taste in beer, tobacco products, and even named their first born the same way. Now I know that you are thinking what but they did not meet until their 40s, but when they did they found that out.
A. (SUBPOINT) Born in a seedy Detroit suburb, her mother abandoned her and her brother at the age of four; her father, a convicted child molester, killed himself in prison. The children were sent to live with her grandparents, who continued a daily round of abuse, physical and sexual.
They treated her very bad, Cindy had to do all the chores in the house in order to keep it clean. They ordered her around and gave her dirty clothes to wear. They would keep her locked in the basement so that no one would know that she was there. Cindy's life was made difficult, she often sits by the cinders and cry, and wish her parents had took her with them. But in the pass times, she would sing, which is something she loved with a passion.
Nature by its very definition is the genetic makeup of that person, the nature of someone may refer to their attitude or behavioral
Nature is described as our physical attributes and genes from when we are born. Our genetics that make us who we are include our eye colour, height and hair colour, as well as our natural talents, abilities and our intelligence level.
Let’s take the feral children for an example. There were two kids that we learned about and their names were Jeanie and Oxana. Oxana was living with dogs for pretty much her whole childhood. When they found Oxana they noticed she did pretty much everything like a dog. Jeanie was beaten by her father, and she was left alone until she was 13 years old. Jeanie’s father hated noise, so she barely ever talked or heard others talk. Once she was found, her behavior was like a 3 year olds. She had trouble walking and talking, in fact, she only knew a few words and could barely even stand. Both of these examples of the feral children are nurture because their personality’s have been based off their surroundings.
I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.
