So this blog is a place for you to post articles, short stories, videos, photos, concerns...anything that you feel is relevant to our discussions in EPY 223. I look forward to seeing your thinking and how it relates to the world around us!
Warmly, Dr. G
This is an article that sums up a great deal of what we will be discussing the first few weeks!
Nature vs. Nurture

ReplyDeleteThis video is about the difference between the mind of rich kids and the mind of poor kids. I thought this topic fell under an umbrella of topics, but mainly family. You depend on your parents to help you be in a good school system and have books in your home, and your parents read to you to stimulate your brain as a child.

DeleteThis is SUPER interesting and relates to what my Curriculum Design class is talking about currently as well! Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on this!
ReplyDeleteI find this video very interesting. I was actually watching a movie yesterday called Gimme Shelter and it is a story about a poor child who grew up on the streets, the actress portrays it so well that I can see the lack of communication skills, how easy it is for her to becomes stressed and her lack of social skills. That ties in very well with the nature vs. Nurture topic we discussed in class. How you are brought up can very easily affect how you will live the rest of your life.
