Week 1: Introduction
Essential Questions:
1. When are we not responsible for our own beliefs or behaviors?
I believe we are not responsible for our own beliefs and behaviors when we are young children and do not truly understand how to interpret our own beliefs on controversial ideas but only know to be true what our parents' beliefs and what our parents' behaviors are that are seemed to be considered socially acceptable. But I do believe that people should know what is socially and morally wrong from right such as the murders should know what is socially acceptable to do in a home invasion.
2. Which is more important to a person's development: nature or nurture?
Nurture is more important to a person's development because nature has already formed you and there is nothing you can do to change the way you are formed, but depending on how the person is nurtured, the person will either think badly about their natural form or think good. It seems to me that it is a clear controversy between a good verses an evil personality depending on the way a person was nurtured. Looking at the murder's home life, it was very broken and growing up in a broken household can create people into monsters (some say).
3. To what extent are we "products of our environment"?
We are exactly products of our environment because our environment mirrors back our energy we put out in our environment. If you put out negative energy, you will get negative feedback from the environment you occupy. Whatever you put out in the environment, will come back to you in the exact same form.
