All of us have been shaped by both nature (biology) and nurture (environment), making us the persons we are today. In most cases, it is difficult to completely disentangle the separate effects of nature vs. nurture with much certainty. However, we can make some educated guesses based on our knowledge of familial tendencies that we may have inherited, as well as knowledge of our environment and experiences. In this section, we ask for you to make some educated guesses about the roles of nature and nurture in your life.

Describe the role of nature (biology) in shaping what kind of person you are today. Provide a specific example of the role of nature.

Describe the role of nurture (environment) in shaping what kind of person you are today. Provide a specific example of the role of nurture.

Write a minimum of 2 paragraphs with no spelling or grammatical errors. Looking for an educated response with a reference listed if used.

Week 10: Premises Security Liability and Forensic Security Our focus is on liability that security managers may face in supervising effective security programs. Shielding the organization from lawsuits by avoiding inadequate security claims is part of the responsibility of security managers. Effective security planning can mitigate such risks. For our discussion this week, we consider a case involving the security assessment of a parking lot at a commercial establishment. These are areas are often found to have vulnerabilities in terms of reasonably foreseeable threats and where customers or guests may become crime victims. Consider the following Wal-Mart case. Review the case and note the applicable legal liability principles and factors that are important in determining whether the case should be decided for or against the plaintiff. After you have addressed the application of the legal principles to the relevant facts, provide your well-reasoned conclusion and opinion about how the case should be decided. If you decide that Wal-Mart is legally liable, what do you believe they should settle for? Also, note what you believe a business like Wal-Mart should provide as reasonable security measures to protect their employees, customers and their property? Wal-Mart Sued By Abductee's Husband By Kenneth A. Gailliard, The Sun News CONWAY - The husband of a Galivants Ferry woman is suing Wal-Mart for $10 million more than three years after two men abducted her from the parking lot of the retail giant's Conway store and killed her. The lawsuit accuses Wal-Mart of negligence and carelessness that resulted in Alice Donovan's injuries and death. Donovan's husband, Barry, declined comment Wednesday, and his lawyer, Geoffrey H. Waggoner of Charleston, could not be reached. Donovan has asked for a jury trial. No date has been set. A pair of jail escapees abducted Donovan immediately after she drove into the Wal-Mart parking lot off U.S. 501. They then forced her to drive away from the parking lot in her car and into Brunswick County, N.C. They later killed her. Her body has not been found. Federal juries convicted Chadrick Fulks and Branden Basham of her murder. Fulks received South Carolina's first federal death sentence, and Basham received the second. Allegations in the lawsuit include that Wal-Mart failed to adequately monitor and control its premises, to effectively protect its patrons, to warn patrons of the nature and extent of crimes committed on the premises, and to ensure that existing security procedures were followed. The suit also says Wal-Mart should have been aware of the potential for violent crimes to happen in its parking lot. Wal-Mart spokesman Martin Heires said the company secures its parking lots, though he did not elaborate. Premise liability suits are common and around 90 percent of them result in settlements. Donovan drove into the store lot about 2:30 p.m. unaware the men who pulled in behind her were escapees from a Kentucky jail riding in a stolen truck they wanted to ditch. When she pulled into a parking space at the store, Basham jumped from the truck, got into Donovan's BMW and forced her to drive to the back of the parking lot. There Fulks abandoned the truck and the two men forced Donovan to drive away. Police said the men drove her into Brunswick County, N.C., later that day, but police have not been able to determine where they took her. Both men gave police several stories about her whereabouts, and extensive searches were conducted for her in North and South Carolina. Prior to kidnapping Donovan, Fulks and Basham were in West Virginia, where they kidnapped and killed college student Samantha Burns. Both men received life sentences in that state for Burns' death.

note: this is the first time asking a question, I know this isn't a physcology question, but that was the only "subject" under social sciences that came anywhere near to the topic. is that what I should have done?

James Madison, in the Federalist Papers, argued that “factions” (interest groups) will balance out and neutralize each other across topics, geographic regions, interests, incomes, ethnic and religious backgrounds, and so on. Thus, no single or no few groups will dominate. In what ways was Madison right? How was he mistaken? Please explain.

Pierre Flourens was a French physiologist who created the first experimental study of the localization of brain functions in order to disprove Gall’s phrenology. Despite his commitment to refute Gall’s inaccurate portrayal of phrenology, Flourens still believed that science was truth by means of to-and-fro swings of theory. He said, “La science n’est pas, elle deviant” (Science is not, it becomes) Therefore, he reasoned, all scientific contributions are useful.

Do you believe all scientific contributions are useful? Could some scientific contributions create more harm than good? Use theories and modern examples to justify your stance.

This week we will be discussing issues of race and ethnicity in the early modern period. To what extent is the nature of race and identity created by religion? Or is it created by trade and economics? Is it created by a shared language? Is it created by skin color? Is it created by wealth or inequality? Your question is this: How does a community begin to identify itself, and how does it see others? Feel free to share your thoughts on current events, personal history, or generalized ideas, as you feel appropriate. This is a graded discussion. You will need to make one original post, and make comments on two of your classmates' posts. Your comments must be substantive and engage your classmates in further discussion (not simply, I agree, or great post). Ask deeper questions of your classmates. Get to know them. Challenge them to think in different ways. But as always, be respectful, know when to back off, and know when to agree to disagree. You will also need to respond to each of the comments in thoughtful ways. I will remove any postings that are offensive in any way.
