Week 2 Discussion 

Week 2 Discussion 
This week we learn about the brain and the nervous system. As we learn about how chemical reactions affect us, it made me think of a question.  Do we truly control our actions and behaviors?  Or do we act based solely on the chemical reactions that happen in brains and nervous systems?  What do you think?  Which is it?  Free will or chemical reactions?  In your discussion post, which option do you agree with?  Support your response with information from either our textbook or from the video below.  Remember to earn full credit, you need to have a total of 3 responses; 1 original and 2 replies.     Watch Video How does caffeine keep us awake? – Hanan Qasim

When boys and girls are born, does their DNA already know what it means to be masculine or feminine?  Or do boys and girls learn masculinity and femininity by watching others?  Is it nature (biology) or is it nurture (environment)?  Watch this video:

When you think about what you have seen and read in our text, decide if you think if it’s EITHER GENETICS (NATURE) OR HOME/ENVIRONMENT (NURTURE) that determine whether you believe the actions of women and men are based more on genetics or the expectations and dictates of society.  In your discussion, it’s important to have your original response and then two other replies to earn full credit.  Do your best to engage with others and have a total of 3 posts in the discussion.  Thank you!
