This side of the nature-nurture debate suggests that we are a certain way because of the way we were bought up and our life experiences. Biological programming - this comes down to your genes. Biological programming suggests that you will have similar medical conditions to your parents supporting the idea of natural selection and genetics. Maturation theory - this theory sees child development as being controlled by evolution and that genetically there is a series of events that will occur automatically. It is believed the development has a biological process and this can be predicted over time.
(2006). How humans evolved. United States of America]. A cladogenetic view of evolution doesn’t search for or assume "missing links" or small middle stages. As a substitute, it looks for the "common ancestors" of two or more species, for example “the grandfather species that divided into two or more lineages.” New species often occur in small populations, “this view accepts that major morphological or physiological changes between a parent and daughter species can occur over a short time span.” Common ancestors are a group of organisms that has the same background.
Motivation Plan Deborah S. Glispie LDR/531 6/09/2014 Brandon Johnson Motivation Plan Motivation is a key factor necessary to maximize team productivity and efficiency. The success of a motivated team is dependent on how well individual team members are motivated and the blending of their personalities. The application of each team members DISC assessment provides management with reliable data that is necessary for creating, developing, and motivating a team. The DISC assessment evaluation of each member of Team B provides a structured platform to develop a motivational plan that will meet the demands necessary to manage different personality styles in the work environment. The motivation plan is specifically designed for the Employment Verification Division (EVD).
Which side of the debate is more influential? The answer is still to be found. One of the important studies that had been carried out whether certain personality traits were results of their genes or of their environment; Sources of Human Psychological Differences, the Minnesota Study of separated Twins at birth. This famous study of identical twins born of the same egg, fertilised of the same sperm – Thomas Bouchard of the University of Minnesota. Studying identical twins who were
This conclusion was reached because no one from Generation I was affected with the disease. However, in Generation II the first male was unaffected with the disease, but the second male was infected with the disease. This proves that it is passed as a recessive trait rather than a dominant trait. This is possible when both parents are hybrids for the trait; which means that they do not have the disease, but carry the gene. Children of two hybrid parents can inherit a recessive gene from each parent.
There were a limited number of models to choose from and once you transform, you look just like other people who share the same model. Everyone wears a name tag, which is the only difference. The purpose to transform is to create a perfect society of physically attractive people, so that there was utopia and harmony. Similarities in the story “Harrison Bergeron” and “Number 12 Looks Just Like you,” is that everyone is the same. Both stories lack the fact the everyone is unique.
We are all composed to DNA which has been passed down to us from our parents and previous generations. Found within our DNA are psychological attributes, for example personality traits. Evolution also shows that we are able to evolve and adapt over time to what benefits our ability to survive and reproduce, just as seen in the evolutionary perspective (Kowalski & Westen,
These traits are carried on alleles, and we are given one by each parent. If both alleles have the same trait, then you are homozygous for the gene. If there are two different alleles, then you are heterozygous for the gene. A particular gene can be dominate, which means it will express. However we often share hidden traits as well, called recessive traits.
Behavior, genes, and evolution play a major role in determining the biological foundations of psychology linked to behavior. When children are born certain characteristic, are inherited from their parents such as eye color, height, and hair color, behavioral characteristics are also inherited. With regard to behavioral characteristics some traits are stronger than others such as emotional stability, temperament, and mental ability. Society, environmental exposure and family structure play a major role in how these characteristics are developed and expressed. Two key concepts explain evolution of behavior: ultimate and proximate.
Organizational cultures also can be created and maintained by the organizations managers, leaders or supervisors. Organizational culture is a common understanding shared among a group of individuals, and a certain type of behavioral patters within the organization that causes employees to interact in a certain manner with one another. Citigroup’s organizational culture has an effect on employee’s performance level, productivity, customer services, and behavior. The current organizational culture of Citigroup mainly has been determined by what has been working in the past for the organization to remain successful. With Citigroup’s organizational culture it has guided employees toward the behaviors and attitudes that have put the company at risk.
