My sister and I have very different levels of tolerance for noise. I cannot stand any kind of noise, especially when concentrating. She on the other hand does not mind it and is usually the one making the noises that annoy me. The biological foundations theory can aid in explaining our differences. Ultimately, the biological foundations theory states that our environment and our genes influence how we turn out. The environment is our household, the people we interact with, where we live, and much more. Genes are what make us who we are in appearance and personality. They are the traits that we share and that distinguish us from each other. My sister and I grew up in the same environment and we share 50% of our genes. Yet we have have such different tolerance levels for noise. Why? The biological foundations theory says that it is how genes and environment interact that shapes us. For me, clicking, typing, talking in the halls, tapping a pen, and shaking legs annoy me to no end. My sister on the other hand is completely oblivious to it or is the one doing all these annoying things. She cannot sit still, she needs to tap or chew when we are in the car. She likes noise and stimulating environments. I don’t, I prefer the quiet …show more content…
My parents left me home alone since the age of four and I would be alone from morning until late into the afternoon. This meant that I couldn’t let on that I was there to the neighbors. I grew up in a silent place, staying silent. Noises for me were always concerning. My sister for the most part grew up in a stimulating environment with preschool, park visits, and play dates. She was raised in noise. I didn’t go to the park because it was too dangerous to go out walking alone in our neighborhood. It was also a foreign country to me while she was born here. Our environments growing up are different, but it is not only the environment that is responsible for our
Noise can be very distracting especially if someone wants to study, sleep, read, do homework, and do a project or anything else. I personally have experienced noise as a distraction and I would never intentionally try to distract someone from doing what they want buy making it hard for them to focus because of my noise.
People all over the world have sounds that rarely occur that irritate them, like nails on a chalk board, a fork scraping a plate, or car alarms. But sometimes every day sounds that most people barely notice, other people really notice. Some major examples are sounds like chewing, nail tapping, swallowing, and the clicking of a keyboard. These individuals do not notice these sounds more because they want to; their mind automatically detects the sounds and continues to focus on them. These people usually become enraged by the sounds they hear because a switch inside their head has been flipped to activate a negative response. This oversensitivity to small sounds is a mental disorder called Misophonia. It is a
If you we were all the same it would be boring because we would feel the same sound the
Pat was isolated during her developmental years. Her social thinking and social influences drove her to adapt to her surroundings and adjust to them. Since, she struggled to walk and she spent most of her time in her crib, and wasn’t able to explore her surroundings at an early age. As she reflected on her developmental history, she realized she was never close to anyone in her family. After, her dad left home, at the age of seven, her siblings also left at the age of sixteen. Her mom worked all the time and was often tired and/or sick. Her social influences were few and the ones she did have were negative. Pat also mentioned how her parents were always fighting, and how her siblings and herself we afraid of them. Throughout her developmental
It is intriguing how something simple as sound waves affect our emotions deeply. Igor Stravinsky’s famous ballet score “Rite of Spring” had a massacre theme with very disturbing images and surprisingly, the audience responded with a bloody riot with people even hitting Stravinsky. The second time the audience heard the music, they applauded him and to a greater surprise, the same music became Disney’s music. This transition of people’s dislike of a music to greatly appreciating piece is done by the brain. As the music repeats, the brain has the capacity to tune into to it and even adjust to that sound. When we hear unfamiliar noises that are dissonant or unpleasant, auditory cortex’s role is to differentiate the plethora of sounds and find
I am a piece of an American family, and we are noisy, yet in some cases they simply don't know when to calm down. In the event that i am attempting to do homework and my father is impacting music its pretty diverting. An approach to fathom this is have two or three hours in the day where its noiseless so we can do our
If there is too much background noise, whether it is parents yelling or music screeching, I will reposition my base to the park, The park is a great place to read; however, it is a difficult place to do other tasks because of its openness. Overall, noise plays the largest role in shaping my
Around 18 months, it’s clear that Stella had started to become self aware, by talking to herself when looking in the mirror and smiling. I try to let her become more independent while still staying in control because she still needs guidance at this age. By the time Stella begins preschool, she is potty trained with a few accidents here or there, and seems to be advancing well socially, physically, and mentally. She had a bit of trouble when she started, becoming scared that I would not come back to get her, but after I reassured her, she seemed to calm down as soon as I left, demonstrating a bit of object permanence, that just because I am not there does not mean I have disappeared forever. She is a bit shy to start, but warmed up making it evident that she is a slow-to-warm up child according to Thomas and Chess (Thomas and Chess, 1977.) She is not a very active child, preferring to play by herself with her toys. When she gets stuck on something, I try and scaffold to support her, rather that doing it for her (H Snyder, lecture notes, September 20th, 2017.) By age two, Stella continues to explore the world around her, and my partner has been spending more quality time with her when possible. We are saving up to buy a home, so in order to save money we try and do inexpensive adventures with her (Manis, 2008.) Stella’s emotions have expanded, and by age 3 she is able to express these emotions with ease. When Stella is 3, I give
During the first three months of Rosie’s life, I made the decision to not go back to work and remain her full-time caregiver at home. I believed this decision was crucial in order to create a maternal bond with my daughter. After all, how humans relate to others later on in life is related to our attachments during infancy (Grossmann & Waters, 2005; Hofer, 2006; Johnson et al., 2010). This was also partially influenced by American society as it is normal to take a 12-week maternity leave, and quite common to stay at-home with a newborn even after the maternity leave is up. As Rosie grew to 19 months, I went back to work part-time and left Rosie with a either a relative, babysitter, or professional home-care sitter. When the care-sitter told me that Rosie was clingy and difficult to soothe, I started to suspect that she developed separation anxiety. Although this phenomenon is normal, I believe introducing Rosie to new faces and showing her that it is okay to communicate with
High pitched noises have been known to damage the ear and body that can lead to further complications with the body. The question that has been undergoing serious research is whether or not the effect of high pitched noises can alter the balance of someone. The main topic and conclusion of this study are to determine whether the question can be proven true. Can frequencies affect balance? If so how? What parts of the body is being triggered by this stimulus? Also, what will the results of the conclusion of this study prove? To continue background information about balance and sound are given to understand the what is going on internally and externally.
Over the years, humans have committed crimes so heinous that incarceration would, arguably, not suffice as a justified punishment. These crimes are responsible for the proposal of “The Death Penalty”, which is when execution becomes the verdict after a criminal case. Some of the methods used in the past have been deemed cruel and unusual, whereas others have been justified based on overwhelming evidence of the crime committed. The most common method in modern society would be death by Lethal Injection, however, methods differ by state. For example, in the state of Utah, death by Firing Squad is still an option to convicts. This lethal method is administered in a total of 17 states. Although the person convicted is being executed, the method must still be as humane as possible, regardless of the crime. States have certain regulations for the method they use, but if it is compromised, an alternative method will be chosen by default. Alternatives could include methods such as Death by Hanging, The Electric Chair, The Gas Chamber or death by Firing Squad. Some areas of the justice system view these alternatives as barbaric or inhumane.
Wolfgang Peterson tackles the job of bringing the epic of Homer's The Iliad to the big screen in his film Troy. Iliad being a lengthy text, it is impossible to include every detail in a movie. Therefore, there are obvious deviations from the book such as the length of the Trojan War, and the absence of celestial participation in the war. There is also an absence of mortal female characters such as Chryseis, Hecuba, and Cassandra in the movie. In contrast, though, the female characters who are included in the film are developed more elaborately than they are in the book.
Kids, teenagers and sometimes maybe even adults still have to put on a front of who they really are. Growing up boys were told that if you cant take pain you aren't a man or if your afraid to step up someone you're a “Pussy”. The words kids commonly hear now. As “men” we do not cry. As men were not aloud to express or show are feelings.
The biological domain refers to the physical elements and genetic systems within our bodies that impact on or are influenced by our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Our genes are one type of physical component within our bodies that usually influence our personalities. A person’s genetic construct determines whether their hair is curly or straight, or their eyes are black or hazel, if they are of a large structure or a slight build. It seems also that our genetic makeup influences how active one can be, or whether the person is hot-tempered and disagreeable and if they prefer to be private or friendly. A person having the knowledge and understanding of genetics would know that it is a part of
Biological theory is the best theory that explains sexual offenses. The biological theory is concerned with the behavior of humans and physiological factors. These factors create the human being, which are lead between nature and nurture. Nature is the genetics and nurture is the behavior that is developed from environment around us. The behavior for human is learned, this can be learned from environment around them like the people. As example, as son will learn from his father, if the father is violent towards the mother, there is aggressive attitudes. This connects to biological theory because there is a hormone that deals with sexual behavior arising with the offenders body. This is where there is “aggression and high level of testosterone”
