When teaching a large amount of resources should be used such as periodicals and newspapers. Special environmental events should be made a part of the curriculum.
Examine one evolutionary explanation of behavior Before we had the technology to look at genes specifically, a theory was used to explain how we’ve adapted the traits we have today. Darwin’s theory was that those who adapt best to an environment will have a greater chance of surviving, having offspring, and passing their genes to their offspring. As our environment is always changing, we need to adapt our characteristics to survive in that specific environment. It is the whole aspect of adaptation. It is said that those who are better suited for a certain environment will be more like to breed and pass on these genes also known as natural selection.

Their social development might become affected because if they feel they are being discriminated, then they might not want to play along with other and may just keep themselves to themselves.
