Edith Sharp The Test

When you hear a cry for help from someone in danger, you probably feel two desires. Explain these desires. What is the third thing you feel and how does it help? One desire is to go and help them due to our herd instinct, and the other is to stay out of that said danger due to our instinct of self-preservation. The last thing you feel is the impulse to help and not run away. Moral behavior may be a product of instinct, but that doesn’t follow that morality itself is just instinct.

Another example of Instinct theory in the movie “27 Hours” is when Aron snaps his arm. This is the second attempt he intends to break off the arm. Aron is near death, but he has visions off a future son that he still does not have. He had visions off having a son, which he later had three years after the arm incident. If it weren’t for the image he had of having a kid, Aron probably wouldn’t have had the instinct and motivation to break his arm off.

Part of human nature is maintaining pleasant and enjoyable relationships with others.

The attachment that a person may have regarding others affects his or her emotional perception towards them, and causes him or her to overlook imperfections and disagreeable actions.

Animals behave in response to their environments just like humans. Behavior can be simply broken down into emotions, thoughts, and psychological responses. These fall under three categories: reflexes, instincts and learned behaviors, which all have a role in helping us to survive in this world. A reflex is an involuntary reaction to stimuli. Our reflexes are controlled by our nervous system. When we go to the doctor for a checkup and the doctor uses an object similar to a hammer and taps its on your knee, he is checking your reflexes. Reflexes are usually fast responses to something such as resting your hand on a hot stove and then lifting it quickly because you did not realize it was on.

One of the sweet comforts in life is to curl up in a favorite chair with a short story that will briefly carry people away from their everyday lives. On rare occasions, a tale mirrors real life in such a way that one is strangely comforted by the normalcy reflected in the words. A perfect example of a story about ordinary life that will soothe the soul in search for some insight on understanding the human behavior is Anton Chekhov’s “The Lady with the Pet Dog.” This style of writing has such a mass appeal because the characters wear recognizable social masks and reflect an everyday reality. In his simple story of a chance meeting between a middle-aged, chauvinistic, repeat-offender adulterer, unhappily married man, and a young, naïve,

Both of these are instincts, but neither of them cause direct action. In addition to those instincts is the Law of Human Nature, which tells us that we should go help the man. The Law of Human Nature itself was not an instinct, but
