This book will look at behavior in a different way. Have you heard of the phrase nature is nurture? Simply, it asks what influences our behavior? This has been a debated topic since early man. Nature is usually defined as what is given to us before we are born, specificially, in this book, genetics. Nurture means learning that we acquire from our environment (parents, friends, and other influences). In this book, we will look at the newest scientific work, how both genetics and environment effect how we behave. Our court system is slowly changing, as science rears its head in the area of criminal law, everyday life, public opinion, and politics. |
