Week 2 Discussion

This week we learn about the brain and the nervous system. As we learn about how chemical reactions affect us, it made me think of a question.  Do we truly control our actions and behaviors?  Or do we act based solely on the chemical reactions that happen in brains and nervous systems?  What do you think?  Which is it?  Free will or chemical reactions?  In your discussion post, which option do you agree with?  Support your response with information from either our textbook or from the video below.  Remember to earn full credit, you need to have a total of 3 responses; 1 original and 2 replies.

When boys and girls are born, does their DNA already know what it means to be masculine or feminine?  Or do boys and girls learn masculinity and femininity by watching others?  Is it nature (biology) or is it nurture (environment)?

When you think about what you have seen and read in our text, decide if you think if it’s EITHER GENETICS (NATURE) OR HOME/ENVIRONMENT (NURTURE) that determine whether you believe the actions of women and men are based more on genetics or the expectations and dictates of society.

For this discussion, we will explore psychological disorders by hearing from those who have experienced one of these disorders in a personal way.  Choose ONE of these stories and watch the accompanying Ted Talk.  In your post, discuss what you learned from the talk about psychological disorders?  

Elanor Longden (schizophrenia); 

Nikki Weber Allen (anxiety & depression); 

Ji Hae Park (depression); 

Kevin Briggs (depression & suicide); 

These individuals share their stories about living with and addressing psychological disorders.  Reading about these experiences is different than hearing these stories.  In your post, share what you learned from the story.  How does this story teach you about psychological disorders?  Thank you!
