Mrs. Mordeno came to Honolulu to visit her sonn, Jose, who operated an art gallery. He married to one of his clients, Beth, who paints in her own studio near his gallery. Mrs. Mordeno’s trip was the first out of the Philippines for her and she wanted to see all of the scenic spots in the islands. Jose and Beth were expected to accompany her at the expense of their own work schedules. Mrs. Mordeno planned to stayonly a week but enjoyed herself so much that she decided to stay another month. She wanted to invite her sister and her sister’s children to stay with her. Jose’s apartment was small and did not have enough room for all of them and Jose was expected to pay the travel expenses for all. He tried to explain the situation to his mother. She seemed to accept his tactfully presented arguments and appeared to be satisfied for a few days. Then one day she packed up and returned home.

Discussion # 1- Nature vs. Nurture

The biggest debate in psychology, seemingly, is the one about the origin of what makes us who we are. This debate is simply referred to as the 'Nature vs. Nurture' debate. The side of nature is what we are studying in this course, the biological influences and genetics that we come into this world with (what mom and dad gave us). The nuture side of things is simply the experiences we have in life, the friends and family, and how we were raised. It's obvious that it is a combination of these 2 elements, but what do you think that split might be and why?

For example, as a "neuro nerd", I believe the split is 80% biology/genes, and 20% environment. Not everybody feels that way, nor should they. What I would like you to do this week is to make an initial post stating what percent you think is biological and what percent is environment (50/50 maybe?) and why you think it is that way.

Frontier Thesis By Frederick Jackson Turner


1. Explain Turner’s comment that the frontier was a “meeting point between savagery and civilization”? Do you agree with his statement? Why or why not?

2. What did Turner mean by “European germs”? Hint: it does not have to do with spreading disease amongst the Indians.

3. Turner claimed that American Democracy changed as it ventured West. In fact, he saw American Democracy as wholly different from European Democracy thanks to the influence of the West. What do you think he meant by this?

4. Turner mentioned that the closing of the frontier was also the closing of the “first period of American history.” What do you think he meant by that and what period of America do you think came next?

Please explain what is meant by the concept of genital ambiguity. What lessons does research offer us regarding the relationship of chromosomes and hormones to gender? What do the authors mean when they suggest that the research indicates that neither sex nor gender is dichotomous and that the categories male and female can be inconsistent? Furthermore, sometimes physicians rush to surgically "correct" genital ambiguity stating that this is influenced as much by cultural factors as by medical ones. Explain what this means. Do you agree or disagree that doctors should perform surgeries immediately on the intersexed babies or wait until they can make the decision themselves? Please explain.
