Women in the 1920’s were expected to keep out of the public eye. They were not allowed to vote, or serve on juries. Legally, they were supposed to be subordinated.  Women did not have the same rights as men pertaining to their political involvement.

Warriors: Wizards :: Mushrooms: Pigs The sun shone brightly as I stared off into the distant grass, swaying unrelentingly as the winds lashed upon it.

The scientific study of how behavior is affected by biology is known as sociobiology. On the other hand, nurture is the idea that human thoughts, feelings and actions are the result of society and culture. In this argument, human behavior is learned through the influence of society, thus can be changed as societies change. In
