Q What do you think of Sociobiology and the nature vs. nurture debate (see below). Do we do things because we are biologically predisposed or culturally trained? For example, are my kids naturally considerate of others, OR did I train them to behave this way. What if I didn't train them to have table manners? Scientists are really interested in this type of behavior which they call altruism. When you see the below videos on Altruism what does it make you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS-QLB8ELykLinks to an external site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-eU5xZW7cULinks to an external site. What do you think this means for the nature versus nurture debate? And lastly, has this class changed the way you think about the debate? [This also may help with your Science Project on altruism]
