If the person did not count upbringing and cognition, it would be up to someone’s biology, as to whether they committed crime. After all it is a known fact that crime runs in families and so if your parents are criminals, you have a high percentage of becoming one as well. In conclusion, the biological approach does provide an explanation of criminal behaviour, to a certain extent. However, other approaches do need to be considered such as upbringing and someone’s cognition, when stating why people turn to
Even before birth a child is developing within the womb. The parents are responsible in ensuring that they are giving their unborn child the nutrients to develop. This helps to prevent any small or large physical and learning difficulties during this time, as in many cases it is out of the child’s or parents control. If learning cognitive theories are accepted and the infant brain is insufficiently stimulated during the first 3 years of a child’s life, or they are exposed to toxins or malnutrition, then this can be a factor in later learning and disabilities. There have been many studies on diet and how it effects a child’s growth and physical development and ability to learn.
• The basic determinants of human behavior, including criminality, may be passed on from generation to generation. In other words, a penchant for crime may be inherited. • Much of human conduct is fundamentally rooted in instinctive behavioral responses characteristic of biological organisms everywhere. Territoriality, condemnation of adultery, and acquisitiveness are but three examples of behavior which may be instinctual to human beings. • The biological roots of human conduct have become increasingly disguised, as modern symbolic forms of indirect expressive behavior have replaced more primitive and direct ones.
People are concerned that a biological focus may become racist. The brain is the organ of the mind and the locus of personality. -The basic determinants of human behavior, including criminal tendencies, are to a considerable degree constitutionally or genetically based. -Observed gender and racial differences in rates and types of criminality may be at least partially the result of biological differences between the sexes and/or between racially distinct groups. -The basic determinants of human behavior, including criminality, may be passed on from generation to generation.
An infant will begin to focus on the source of a sound during its first few weeks of life and will pay particular attention to its name within the first six months. By the time it is a year old the infant would be expected to respond to simple commands and to its own name. A young infant will gain their sense of security from their primary care givers and will be comforted and respond positively to touch from a familiar adult in the first three months of development. As infants form an emotional attachment with
1. I do not think that aborting pregnancies that would result in a child born with a severe birth defect(s) should be permitted at any time in prenatal development. Parents who decide not to terminate the disabled fetus may actually come to love their disabled child, as the Brancas in the article, A Wrongful Birth. Many families do not realize that a disabled child can have just as much an impact as a child prodigy (Weil, 2006). A.J.’s parents are a testimonial to the impact a disabled child can have on the family.
Learning difficulties Children with learning difficulties present their own problems and challenges; some families are unable to cope with these challenges and may place their child in respite care. To enable the family to relax and deal with other children or their own needs. In some cases the child may be placed in permanent care if the family are unable to provide the care required. In conclusion there are multiple reasons why a child may need to be looked after and for what length of time, there are multiple places where a child can be looked after away from the
Physical Devolpment 0-3 years This is a stage where devolpemnt happens very quickly. With babies not having much control over their bodies when they are first born, to learning to have more control over there bodies. When they are first born babies movements depend on a series of reflexes. These include sucking and grasping which are vital things they would need to survive. Over the first 12 months they will learn more to control their bodies and by 12 months most babies should have devolped to the point where they should be able to crawl or roll.
Ever since history and law have been written down, the question of why criminals do what they do has always been difficult to answer. Explanations ranging from physical appearance, genetics and social environment have all tried to help answer the question. Over time, more explanations as to why criminals do what they do have changed and evolved. It doesn’t matter what your opinion as to why criminals do what they do, every circumstance is different. The documentary “High on Crack Street” makes every viewer wonder just what made these somewhat “normal” people turn into what society would see as social deviants.
(Freeberg & Payne, 1967). The early stages of development for an infant on through childhood are based on how the family has affected the young child, and the types of parenting; education has influenced the growing child. How families affect the development of infants and young children. When an infant comes into the world they have no say or control over which family they will be placed into, or the environment in which they will begin to live in. The culture of the family is what is the biggest influence on how a child is raised, the morals Infancy and Childhood Development 3.
