Intro

Submitted by nafisam on Sun, 01/25/2009 - 10:01am.

Hello all,

My name is Nafisa. Like many others in the class, I grew up with two cultures. My parents are from Nigeria, and I was born in the U.S. Because of this I have always been concerned with how I "behave" within each setting, and have been conscious of following the "rules" of each culture. I tend to look at issues pertaining to behavior from a rigid scientific standpoint, as this usually helps me to unify ideas and make sense of things in a comprehensive manner.

 

Some questions I have:

1. What types of biases occur when determining "good" or "bad" behavior?

2. How have innate urges evolved over time?

3. What chemical changes occur in the brain after trauma, and what determines if these changes occur for a long or short period of time?
