Phillip Nelson Mr. McCune Sociology 101 3/13/13 Why Does Criminal Behavior Exist? Most psychology classes always talk about criminal behavior and it has been a debate dating back to one of the founding psychologists, Sigmund Freud. There are many questions about why someone would kill another person in cold-blood or act in unspeakable violence. In the past sociologist say that the environment a person is in can play a huge factor in predicting criminal behavior. Another topic in psychology classes is talking about how psychologist in the early 19th century thought that behavior like this was genetic and could be passed down and inherited through each generation.
Anthropology Essay The creation of a perfect human should not be the goal of humanity. There are many reasons that prove that this statement is correct. The main reasons that show this are that creation the perfect human could be harmful for the future species of man kind, the perfect human could be very well impossible to find and make, and finally that before the perfect human would be made, the world would need to fix problems it already has. Creating the perfect human could do more damage to the human race than it could do good. Scientists are finding ways to figure out more and more about children before they are born, such as the sex of the child or whether or not the child is diseased with a mental disability.
Politicians have stated thy will introduce new laws wanting tougher background checks, forced registration, and outright banning of military looking firearms. All these types of new laws will cut down on crime and make this country a safer place. But I believe the way to protect against a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun. First of all on the issue of it will cut down on violent crime, who are they kidding criminals rarely obey laws; studies show most criminals acquire guns through friends or theft. Adam Lanza the shooter at Newtown stole the guns he used from his mother.
By definition, a “Designer Baby” is a genetically modified, unborn child. Basically, they are children who have been “designed” with the desired sex or characteristics. Scientists continue to learn more about the human genome, and as they do reproductive technology continually advances to levels that we never imagined. Researchers linked to Bionet point out: Advanced reproductive techniques involve using InVitro Fertilization (IVF), which is where eggs are fertilized by sperm in ‘test tubes’ outside the mother’s body in a laboratory. The type of sperm (X or Y) that fertilizes an egg can be chosen, which is used to determine the sex and genes of the baby.
However if this was an adult, like Atticus there would be arguments against him and he might even be punished being against racism such as the trial.” Because you are children and you can understand it”.

Meghan Campbell Professor Signorotti English 300M November 2, 2010 Punishment is Key The way individuals grow in a moral sense is by experiencing new things and being able to discern what is right from what is wrong. The mechanism at work is punishment which is essentially a negative feedback loop. Without punishment enacted on those who perform acts deemed wrong, there would be no reason for these people to abstain from such behaviors. Punishment helps children understand that what they desire at the present time may not be as important in the future. There is a point when they come to the realization that their mother and father watching over them will not always be there but someone else will always be.
Their key arguments are: when a youth does something, he doesn’t think twice. This is because their brains are still developing. The youths who commit crimes should be sent rehabilitation, so they do not commit crimes again. Many researchers have come to a conclusion that putting youths in prison with other criminals can effected the mentally, some of those effects turns them into criminals. Now I am going to talk about my point of view.
The lab experiment is proven to have a use in establishing cause and effect relationships, which is why positivist sociologists favor them more as they prefer the more scientific method. Although they favor then, positivist sociologists also acknowledge the shortcomings of a lab experiment as it is often unethical to control the experiment and the results can often not be accurate or representative to a wider population. Interpritivist on the other hand reject the laboratory experiments as they fail to achieve the main goal of validity and they say it us an artificial environment producing unnatural behavior. Although there are many advantages to lab experiments there are various practical problems with them. For example it would be almost impossible to control the variables that may influence a situation and although being able to control the environment/variables may seem like a good thing all its creating is an artificial environment.
He states that it is important for children to use creativity to form their identity, expressing their thoughts with their personal individuality. Even if the education in Japan is viewed, by some, as superior, Ho believes it is deeply flawed. Compared to us, Japan is lacking one fundamental point. American education is superior to Japanese education because we posses the freedom of thought and speech. “Disgruntled American parents forget that in this country, their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this, they will not be able to think or to believe in themselves (199).” Ho uses his own education in Indonesia as an example.
One solution about the problem may be to speak up about the problem. How will anyone know that gun violence is a problem and must be stopped? “Closed Mouths Don’t Get Fed” A great quote that support this solution. We need to speak up, adults as well as our young children. Adults can speak to the young children and let them know what’s right from wrong considering our young children are the ones being targeting when it comes to gun play as well as violence.
