Week 6

I think because of social networks and having smart phones and Ipads, that Americans are becoming more isolated because of technology. Because of things like Facebook and Twitter, people are more focused on other people’s problems and drama. Everyone now everywhere are always on their cell phones or smart phones, either texting someone or just playing a game on their hand held. Before cell phones and Facebook, it seems that people were out more and did more things out side

Week Four

        The Nature Vs. Nurture debate is about which particular aspect of how our behaviors are a product of either Inherited or acquired characteristics. The nature part of the debate is if behavior is inherited from a parent, and the nurture is if the environmental influences after conception. I think that my side of the debate would be the nurture aspect because of the differences between my mom and myself. My mother and I are two different people. She is more or a morning person and I’m more of a night person. Also she’s more of an angry person, and I think that I am a very nice and caring person. I think that because of the people that I would hang out with, and the type of high school that I went too.

Week Three

I think that the Hugh Laurie video was about the British think that were on repeat and were doing the same thing over and over, with maybe a few things that are different. Like when it changes from saying America to states. In the end it seems like that they think that were not all there and that we need a good punch in the face. I think that the British people all agree in a way because of how they were laughing during the whole thing.

Week Two

This week's post is about whether I think if the Stanford Prison Experiment is ethical. From my understandings there were volunteers assigned two different positions, guards and prisoners. During the experiment the guards were getting board and wanted to taunt the prisoners. Even though it's not effecting their rights because they still have rights I don't think that it's ethical because of the way that it affected their lives.
