Sexual Orientation is it Nature or Nurture?

Psychologically speaking there was a conflict between nature and nurture for a long time, and there still is in some cases but it has largely been solved by a synthesis of the two ideas. Most people in the world, as well as many psychologists, would agree that genetics and traits that seem to come with a person when they are born (fewer psychologists would agree with this last part) interact with the environment of a person to make up who they are today. By environment I mean the experiences they have as they grow as well as other factors outside an individual that can influence their development. It certainly makes sense to think this way, certainly, our experiences play a part in the shaping process but there first has to be something to shape. People are not blank slates which are written on by those around them, they are minimally or partially written on slates which flavors our interactions with the world. Yet a lot of people when we discuss sexual orientation, specifically for sa...

Populations, Overrun or Undervalued?

How many of us have seen a movie or read a book where the antagonist (or protagonist depending on what you think) thinks they are the hero because they are trying to save the species or something by killing a ton of people? Hands, hands anyone? If you have been watching popular movies in the last year you have.

This lead to many people believing that having many children was actually immoral. "Immoral, can you believe that!?" is what some of you might say.

Conflict or Communication?

It's really easy to get into a contentious trend with your family, they are so close to you all the time and they do things that are irritating on a consistent basis. And we can't seem to get them to stop doing those irritating things even with the subtle hints we drop. Sometimes when we make decisions together we feel like we get undermined or underappreciated like our opinion doesn't matter at all. most likely we will blame it all on poor communication. So how do improve our communication? Most of us participate in some sort of power struggle for whose opinion is better or more important, perhaps we even take turns on decisions. There is a much better way to do things. What about if people would discuss things and be more open! Wow, mind bomb... wait I guess that just makes sense. If we would work together on our problems and come to an agreement instead of trying to be on top of the decision tree. If we take our turns talking and listening things will go so much more s...
