The overall focus of Chapter 2 is the effect of the relationship between nature and nurture, on a child’s development. The three main important ideas of this chapter to me, a mother of young children, are the early perspectives that one factor, either nature or nurture has on development, the importance of context in a child’s development and finally the interaction among nature and nurture and its effects on development. The early perspectives on development was that it is only affected by on factor
Bioterrorism threat such as anthrax infection is technically and fundamentally different from other potential attacks like nuclear, explosives, or chemical weapons. Considering the nature of bioweapons, it requires a different strategy of preparations that will prepare and comfort individuals in the location (Jaton & Greub, 2014). Meaning full progress regarding the threat will range from understanding the disease context to adhering to community beliefs that guide their faith in case of any life-threatening
Nature vs. Nurture It is a matter of concern whether human behaviors and characteristics are determined by nature or nurture. If a person’s behavior is inherited directly from the genes of his/her parents or other biological factors, then it is the nature that determines his character. But if the environment that a person grew up in, affects his behavior, then it is the nurture that determines his/her character. It became a great matter of controversy among scientists, psychologists and sociologists
Is it nature or simply nurtured? This is one of the oldest disagreements in psychology history: “Nature versus Nurture”. Nature, in other words, innate knowledge is basically behavior, culture, and personality that are inherited through genes and biological factors. However, nurture which is acquired knowledge is more based on external factors like one’s environment and experience. This popular and ongoing controversy is argued by those who believe knowledge is instinctive, attained and both based
in some cases it is fought simply to kill. A type of warfare that exemplifies this is chemical and biological warfare. These attacks are aimed simply at killing everybody. In addition, most people think of biological warfare as a very recent war tactic, dating back not much further than agent orange, deployed in Vietnam. In fact, one of the first and one of the most devastating instances of biological warfare occurred much earlier, in 1347. This was the attack that brought the black plague from it’s
Introduction Blood Spatter Analysis (BPA) is a forensic technique to interpret bloodstain in order to understand and recreate a crime scene that involve blood-shedding event. BPA is regarded as a very crucial process in crime investigation as it provides evidence in easing a trial process in court. The BPA was considered as a significant area of science in crime investigation only after the year of 1955, even though, the first study was dated back in the late 1890. There are several questions arise
Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. Analysts examine the size, shape, distribution, and location of the bloodstains to draw about what happened. BPA uses principles of biology (behavior of blood), physics (cohesion, capillary action and velocity) and mathematics (geometry, distance, and angle) to assist investigators in answering questions like: • From where did the blood originate from
Prepared for Biological Attacks Biological weapons are being developed and pursued secretly in other countries by either individuals or groups for the purpose to incapacitate or kill humans, livestocks, or crops. In today’s world America has ignored, overlooked, and undervalued the threat of biological attacks. America has experienced biological attacks in the past but is America prepared for it? America may have experienced biological attacks, but America is not prepared for biological attacks. The
suffer as a result of it. Another thing that must be examined is the availability of medicine According to historyofvaccines.org, U.S. agencies conducted a simulation of a biological attack using smallpox as the weapon, in which serious weaknesses were exploited, one of them being that there would be a shortage of vaccines(“Biological Weapons”), which is only part of the problem surrounding medicine against bioterrorism. According to the article, “One challenge to licensing vaccines for response to bioweapon
powerful country was brought to its knees, by a force that would be later identified as the Taliban. Imagine if the terrorists who hijacked the planes would have had a chemical or biological weapon they used during the attack. It would have cause many more deaths. The ability for the enemy to get and use chemical, biological or weapons of mass destruction is a very real threat. Every day we need to be vigilant to our enemy’s movements and never allow our guard to be down again. October 7, 2001 less
