Nature Vs. Nurture Argumentative Analysis

Genie is a wild child who found in LA on 1970, she is a very extreme case of neglected the caretaking from adult. Her father believed she is retarder She spent her first thirteen years on tiding at the potty chair and still wearing diaper, she had never see, listen, being taught of anything in her life. For the past many years she had been isolation and lack of adult care make her the way she is right now.

The video “Genie: Secret of the Wild Child-My Shocking Story,” demonstrated that isolation from the world affects the ability to function in society. The social environment that surrounds us from the time we are born is critical in developing skills that are vital to survive and be independent in the world. As a child, we are surrounded with family, friends, and television that we learn language, skills to interact with others, and developmental skills. Genie lived in isolation which caused her to be developmental y delayed in developing language skills and social skills to function in an environment. Genie was kept in isolation for ten years by her father.

After Genie was rescued at the age of 13, she was part of a study on brain development. Scientist and therapists helped to teach Genie how to speak. Genie learnt lots of words, but because she was cognitively deficient, she was unable to make up sentences, and didn’t have any sense of grammar. On Genie’s 18th Birthday, she moved back in with her mother, in the house that she was isolated and neglected in. But after only a few weeks, it became clear that her mother could not cope. Therefore, Genie was moved into state care, with terrible consequences. Those consequences were that Genie was moved from house to house, who were mainly the therapists she worked with, and then she deteriorated. The scientists who had worked with her, tried to warn the state, and tried to inform them that she needed comfort and attention, as this is what she laced while growing up, but they did not listen, which resulted in Genie

Genie was a young feral girl that wasn't allowed to speak or make any noises if she did she would be beaten. This caused her not to speak. Also, she was tied to a little chair, and when she got older she couldn't properly stand. When she was found they thought she was a lost cause, but one lady didn't she wanted to help her. The scientist also wanted to research about her and see if this will have an effect on the nature vs nurture debate. This video shows me a lot about nurture it makes me feel like my choice of being on the nurture side is right.

Genie was a primitive and beastly girl who wasn’t humanly ready nor fit for regular movement, speech and could not interact with others properly. Genie being physically, emotionally and mentally severely undeveloped is the cause for her immature natures. She had no one to look at nor talk to for almost a decade. She was basically looking at walls for the majority of her life because she had been socially isolated. She exposed actions and movements of an infant.

Genie quickly ended up in foster homes, moving rapidly throughout where she was often further abused or neglected. After her time in foster care, Genie regressed to not talking. Her time in foster care was so awful she did not want to open her mouth again. The researchers almost interrupted her recovery and even though they helped her for a period, replaced her into a stressful and abusive situation.

Genie had a very awkward bunny walk and non-human features. She used to sniff and claw everything. She used to make noises as she couldn’t speak and she was abused by her parents

Genie’s case is heartbreaking. Not only did she suffer unimaginable traumas during the first 12 years of her life, but her case resulted in a tug-of-war from researchers who wanted to help her, yet wanted to further their own agenda. It was particularly sad to hear that she had returned to live with her mother at age 18, and then entered the foster care system when her mother realized that she was ill equipped to care for her daughter. She was subjected to further trauma and abuse,

Genie was a young girl found after being strapped to a potty chair for thirteen years. Her father mistreated her because he did not want children and would beat her if she attempted to speak, forbidding anyone from talking to her. Her father also fashioned a homemade straightjacket to further restrict her movement although she did not have motor capabilities past that of a toddler. She did not have the ability to speak besides cries and yelling sounds and was drastically underweight. In an ethical attempt to transition Genie into the real world, a linguist named Susan Curtiss was brought in. She attempted to teach Genie language and communication skills, soon progressing to teaching more sophisticated English. The people working with Genie

The final child of the couple was Genie. At a doctor’s appointment in late 1958 when Genie was 20 months old the doctor diagnosed her with mild retardation. However, this claim has been debated. Nevertheless, Genie’s sadistic father kept her in extreme isolation locked away in an upstairs bedroom. The window was covered in aluminium foil and Genie was tightly restrained to a potty chair in near darkness every day. At night she slept in a tattered sleeping bag tied down in a cot that was enclosed with chicken wire. Although she would often be left on the potty chair overnight. She was malnourished and Clark forbid his son and wife to speak to Genie. If she was to make any sound she was beaten with a wooden plank, and was allegedly sexually abused also. Though no one will ever know exactly what

Within the pro-choice world there are many issues that are discussed like abortion, the instant where life begins and the use of contraceptives. This article will focus on not only the issue of using of contraceptives, but specifically the distribution of oral contraceptives (“the pill”) to teenage girls without their parent’s consent.

When the discovery of Genie came to light, there were many unknown facts about her that came known. Genie was locked in a room for about 11 straight years harnessed in a toddlers potty seat and at night she slept in sleeping bag in a baby crib which was made of wire and wood. She had nothing for entertainment, no one to talk,not much to eat, even nothing wear than just diapers. In this boring and alone environment, Genie did not learn any language and by the age 13 she understood only 20 words. “The only words addressed to her were angry ones,she could say "stopit," "nomore," "no," and a few other negative words” (unknown par 3). Genie was never allowed to talk and whenever she made noises she got bitten up.

* The girl was given the name Genie to protect her identity and privacy. "The case name is Genie. This is not the person's real name, but when we think about what a genie is, a genie is a creature that comes out of a bottle or whatever, but emerges into human society past childhood. We assume that it really isn't a creature that had a human childhood,” explained Susan Curtiss in a documentary called Secrets of the Wild Child (1997).

Genie, the second case of wild child was found in a room tied to a potty chair. Genie was kept in a room locked away because her father thought she was retarded at birth until the age of 13, when she was rescued by a social worker. She was locked away from normal civilization and any type of socialization, and she was beaten for making noises. Genie was an infant trapped in a 13 year old body, because she could only make infant like sounds and no words or sentences. Genie's brain waves were adnormal, but doctors believed that she could learn. They began teaching and trying to develop her brain through forming relationships. Genie begin to speak and say words; but they were difficult to understand. Genie progress gave doctors hope that she

Waite and Gallagher also discuss the benefits that marriage gives to couples. Including the financial benefits, in that through specialization and by sharing incomes getting married boosts standard of living by thirty percent and this benefit is not incurred by cohabitating, as those who cohabitate do not share as much and are less committed to the wellbeing of their partner. In addition to the financial benefits, they also discuss the emotional benefits of knowing you have someone who loves you and who would take care of you. Children similarly benefit from having married parents as there are more financial resources available to help take care of them and they get to spend more time with at least one parent.
