I thought this was interesting chapter overall I thought. One of my favorite things I learned in this chapter was learning about how parents shape our lives. I learned that parents influence how their children act, religious beliefs, and their political views. What really surprised me was learning that parents don’t have any influence on personality.
Another thing I found interesting in this chapter was how nature and nurture works together to form our gender. I learned how the mother and fathers chromosomes contribute to make either a male or female baby. I just thought that this was a key aspect to knowing how our gender is developed.
Then I really thought that the twin studies were really cool. Its interesting how separated twins can share some similarities. These studies show the results of our genetic influences. The twin studies assignment really helped me understand how twin studies can attribute to us learning about similarities in genes.
I thought the Evolutionary Psychology and Sexual Attitudes Resource was a very interesting video to watch. The video went through many different explanations as to why men desire sex more often than women do.
Oh yeah I actually really enjoyed doing the nature/nurture assignment too. It was a great way to compare how my lifestyle would change if I were raised by different parents.
