RJA #3a) Exploring Research Topic

While exploring my research topic of where nature vs nurture plays a role in different areas such as alcoholism and criminal behavior. I found that there are alot of traits that are hereditary that have been proven. I also found out that physical traits are hereditary. I also found out that both play a role in human devolpment but some believe nature plays more of a role than nurture and vis versa. I learned that personality mostly comes from the enviornment you are raised up in and that intellgience is hereditary and that if your parents are smart you are more than likely to become smart too. Some place I looked at was about.com I also found out that being addicted to alcohol could be hereditary because some peoples stigma is strong enough where a pereson could indure the alcohol into there system. I also found that criminal behavior can be hereditary because if a person is angry the genes can pass on and the baby could feel angry when they are born and go on as they grow up. But criminal behavior can also be enviornmental because if a person is grown up in a violent enviornment they are most likely to become violent themselves. i found this information on suite101.com.
