Nature Vs. Nurture By Francis Galton
"You inherit your environment just as much as your genes." (Rich, 2015) In 1869, the phrase "nature
vs. nurture was coined by an English polymath named Francis Galton. There are two sides to this
debate, each with their own pros and con's. Nature is the side that argues that the DNA and genotype
humans are born with determines who they are and what personality and traits they will have
throughout their lifetime. Whereas the nurture side of the debate argues that humans are born with
sponges as minds, and through interactions and experiences while we grow, the knowledge and
understanding of life is gained and this is how our personalities are sculpted. Many people have
studied this debate through multiple schools of thoughts; each with their own arguments to which
side they believe prevails. Yet, to this day, there is no proof to say which side of the debate if
correct. Based on the psychological, sociological, and epigenetic schools of though, it can be
validated that when it comes to the nature vs. nurture debate, nurture will always prevail and remain
most relevant. The basic assumption of psychologists in correlation to nurture is that the mind is a
"blank slate, or tabula rasa" (Locke, 1689) during infancy, and continues to absorb new information
as the environment changes with the child. There are multiple disciplines within the psychological
school of thought that become very relevant when studying nurture. For starters, cognitive
psychology states that mental

Feral Children: Socially Deprived
Feral children can stem from two very different backgrounds. They can be "wild", which means they
grew up in a wild environment such as a forest or jungle. The children can also be deeply socially
deprived meaning they did not have any human connection or affection.
Wild
When you think of a "wild child" you think of a person who takes risks or doesn't follow the set
rules. What wild children actually are, are children who literally were raised in the wilderness.
These children have no sense of parents or rules. When thinking of these children you think of the
phrase " raised by wolves" and that is exactly what they are.
These children do not have any human connection whatsoever, they may end up acting exactly like
the animals they were grown up around. A child who only knows a dog as its parent may grow up to
think that they actually are a dog themselves. They will pant, walk and eat just as they would.
Taking children from this lifestyle and trying to form them into a regular human being is hard but
not impossible. Studies have shown that the younger the child Is the easier it is to revert them back
to the human connection.
Socially Deprived ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These children are not raised by wolves, they are not raised at all. They do not have the human
connection that a child should get from a young age. An example of a feral child would be one who
was neglected by its parents. They do not have any social interactions with parents or peers. These
children do not learn the basics of language or behavior. They grow up not seeing the outside world
and what it is like to have connections with other human beings. Children of this upbringing would
not know how to speak, socialize with other kids, or grow at the same rate as other children their

Wolf Gang
Wolf Gang; The Sheep in wolves clothing
What is the line between being civilized and tamed, against acting wild and savage? What separates
human intellect against animalistic nature? Humans have animalistic instincts, yet we fear it often
choosing to hide it calling it taboo or deeming it inappropriate to a civilized society. Famed
Psychologist Sigmund Freud once stated, "The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct,
undomesticated by the ego, is incomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed
instinct" (Freud, ?) What Freud is saying is that satisfying a tamed instinct is artificial, compared to
satisfying something that is engrained in our animal nature. Animal Nature connects itself to the
short story "The Company of Wolves" ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The story is interesting by raising questions about what the savage instincts represents to a
community that is in the edge of civilization, in a location where nature and society clash. The story
in short represents Sigmund Freud's clash of human nature and the animal state (Id), the cultured
state (ego) and the self–state (superego) and the representation of humanity in a state where there is
no discernible difference between humans and beasts. In the end the humans have the potential to be
as savage as the wolves in the right circumstances.
The circumstances that created this nature of humans as wolves are influenced partly by the location
in which the story takes place, the forest. Like the Original Red Riding Hood story the woods are as
ominous and threatening to the young female protagonist. Unlike Red Riding Hood though, the
story by Angela Carter is much more specific on the wolves and what they represent as symbols of
human barbarity. In the story, it is stated that, "It is winter and cold weather. In this region of
mountain and forest, there is now nothing for the wolves to eat."(Carter,1085). The wolves or
savagery is created through condition, the influence of the location makes human harder both

Child Abuse And Neglect: A Hidden Epidemic
The experiences we have as children shapes our behaviors and they way our brains function as
adults. Child abuse and neglect is a hidden epidemic that not everyone fully understands or knows
about its existence. Every year three million reports are made against child abuse; more than six
million children are affected annually. The United States carries one one the highest records of child
abuse among industrialized countries. Abuse can be in many forms: physical, emotional, and sexual.
Child abuse can cause many harmful heath issues in children. Mental heath disorders, sexual and

Whether it be a broken bone, emotional distress, or never being able to have a healthy relationship,
children are always affected. Abuse effects the way children think and act. Children learn their
behaviors from their parents and often abuse is a never ending cycle for most families because it is
perceived as normal. Most children think "That's how I was raised and I turned out fine". and they
never really come to terms with their injuries (whether superficial or not) from abuse. Often times it
takes someone going to a therapist to realized their parent really was toxic to their health. Child
abuse is an epidemic that as a society we need to try our hardest to prevent and eliminate. In my
opinion, I truly believe that child abuse and neglect is a true epidemic that we are not taking
seriously as a society. So many children are abused and neglected in one year's time and almost no
one bats an eye. I think that most people are too afraid to report someone that they know for abusing
their child. That is greatly upsetting because it is the child that is continuing to suffer because of an
onlooker's cowardice. We have so many ways to report abuse and most cases you can report

Feral Children: Marie-Angelique Le Blanc And Genie Wiley
Feral or wild children are a rare phenomenon that has been seen on occasion for centuries. They are
defined as a human child who has lived in isolation from human contact from a profoundly young
age. These kids have had little or no experience of human care, behavior, and language. The three
categories of feral children are: children who are raised by animals, isolated children, and confined
children (FERAL CHILDREN). A child who wasn't left on their own purposefully would be
classified as isolated; whereas if they had been left alone purposefully the classification would then
be confined. There are only a handful of reported cases of kids raised by animals or those who were
isolated. These children being studied is what is known as the Forbidden Experiment (IN TEXT).

the remainder of her life. Genie had originally come from an abusive home where some of her older
siblings had died when they were younger. She was left in almost total isolation because her father
did not want children. She had never been taught to speak as the father believed Genie to be retarded
while her mother was going deaf. Due to never having been taught how to speak, the English
language was considerably harder for the 13 year old to learn. She struggled with grammar and the
construction of sentences. Unfortunately, Genie ended up retreating back into herself again and no

Techniques of the Body
As human beings we are very active creatures. It is very rare we sit absolutely still with no
movement at all, in fact to do so would be considered strange in most social contexts. These
movements are not however sporadic, they are in fact highly controlled, practiced skills. Even when
remaining relatively still, for example, to rest or sleep, we have still been taught the required skills
to do so, whether it's how to sit on a chair or lay on a bed, these are very ordinary, everyday
techniques that we take for granted and perceive as something natural, but often they are technique's

Bourdieu calls habitus "a structured and structuring structure, consisting of a system of schemes of
perception and appreciation" (Bourdieu 1984:289), put simply it is an explanation of the subjective
way in which different groups, be this grouping be by class, age, gender or culture, understand and
perceive the world around them. So it can be said that it is from this that differences in taste exist
throughout the globe thus creating cultural characteristics and variations.
So as many societies differ across the globe, so do their System of symbols, which are based around
their taste and cultural beliefs. This then forms different sets of rules of bodily conduct which then
become firmly ingrained in their structure through the notion of habitus. It was through observation
and with this notion of culture as a structured set of rules that Mauss came to believe that
'techniques of the body' are not just biologically inherent or haphazard, but are in fact highly
developed body actions that embody aspects of an individual's given culture. One of the first
examples Mauss gives is of his observation of various armies and the way in which they march. He
speaks of how the English army marches with a different step to the French. He noticed this
difference in asymmetry when the British Worchester Regiment, having achieved glory amongst the

Feral Children In Lord Of The Flies
In the Lord of the Flies the whole plot is centered around these boys who can be seen as feral
children. A feral child is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact. Most of the time
these children will have no experience regarding human care, social niceties, or language. Therefore,
most of the time these children will not be able to speak or even stand up straight. They could also
be unable to use facilities. Another problem a feral child would face is being unable to learn at a
normal speed depending on how long they were isolated this is due to their lack in interest in human
activity around them. This also causes these children to not be able to create bonds with other
people. With this, these children have little to no morals to keep them in check because they are
willing to do most anything to justify what they or someone else does. This is the same way for the
island boys because they were on their own on this deserted island with no adults to tell them what
to do or what not to do. Over the course of time these boys began to lose themselves and not even
have the same morals as they did before the plane crashed. It can be argued that the reason the boys

Feral Children Case Study
I recall hearing an interesting story about a young child a while back, who was raised by wolves and
behaved much like them. Feral children are the result of years of neglect and isolation. They are
children who have been raised away from society in harsh and solitary conditions. These children
are for the most part always mentally and socially underdeveloped. To understand feral children, one
should examine how they respond to isolation, how they react to integration, and if they are able to
acquire the skills they lost while being deprived of social interaction. Before we can examine the
behavior of these children, we need to determine the root cause of this transgression. Growing up,
these kids have very limited contact with other people, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In the case of children raised by animals, they at least do learn some skills that can be helpful
towards their survival. A child raised in complete isolation however, will lack drastically more social
and physical skills. These children may not show any levels of intelligence. A case of this type of
isolation was that of a child named Anna, who was born in 1932 in Pennsylvania. Anna was raised
in solitude ever since her mother was unsuccessful in giving her away. For about 6 years, Anna was
in total isolation and was barely given enough food to keep her alive. She was completely alone, and
did not get to interact with anybody else during the time she was being kept, locked away in a dark
room. Considering the fact that this was happening during an important stage in the developmental
process, it had a great impact on Anna's cognitive ability. Once she was found, she was in a very bad
state both physically and mentally. "She was suffering from malnutrition as well as her muscles
showed signs of atrophy. She was immobile, expressionless and indifferent to everything," (Davis
1). Atrophy is a condition in which the muscle and tissue rot away, meaning that Anna was very
diseased and living in terrible conditions. She also didn't react to anything around her or any type of
stimuli, revealing that her cognition was very slow, and something was wrong with her mentally.

by different types of animals with no human social interaction surfaced. However, not always the
true with every reported case of feral children. For instance, many cases are the result of being
neglected by the parents or caregivers. The result is a lack of basic understanding of human
language or human interaction.

Nature And Nurture In Lord Of The Flies
A feral child (also, colloquially, wild child) is a human child who has lived isolated from human
contact from a very young age, and has no (or little) experience of human care. It is said that feral
children are the real life experiment that we cannot ethically carry out. They question what the
defining factors in human nature are and furthermore how much society impacts on our
personalities. The texts I have chosen are Romulus and Remus (Roman myth), The Girl with no
Name by Lynne Barret–Lee, The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling and Lord of the flies by William
Golding. All four texts propose that the experiences we have as a child are the most significant ones
in making us who we are. Most texts discuss the idea of Nature Versus Nurture Nature and nurture
relates to the inherent qualities (nature) as opposed to personal experiences (nurture). In the 1954
classic Lord of the Flies, Golding slowly shapes the boys and leads the reader from a group of
civilized young boys into true savages. Golding uses a metaphor to compare [Jack's] laughter to the
"bloodthirsty snarling" of an animal. This demonstrates to the reader Jack's descent into barbarism
and we question whether he is more human or wild animal. The text is written in an omniscient third

Feral Children : Feral Children And Children In The World
From time to time there have been many instances of wild man/children brought up in conversation.
There have been many cases in the past about feral children raised by wolves, surviving in the wild
by themselves, and more. Many such as Oxana Malaya, Shamdeo, Marina Chapman, John
Ssebunya, Madina, Sujit Kumar, and many more. All these children raised by monkeys, chickens,
dogs, wolves, and so on. Feral children, also known as wild children, were accidentally or
intentionally shut out or had little interaction with the human world. Most of the time these children
were seen living between the human and animal world. Most people believe that wild children only
show up in myths, but in the modern era people intend to study them. They study any of there
human like qualities such as language use. During the 20th century psychologists wanted to
distinguish the behaviorism and biological nature of wild children. They focused on the children in
complete isolation and ones raised by animals. In the 17th century, outside of myth and legend, there
were only few stories of feral children in Europe. Then in the 1600s, more cases started to appear.
There were stories and tales of a wolf boy in Germany and kids getting abducted by polar bears in
Poland. In 1644 a story emerges of a boy known by John of Liege. He was lost in the woods by his
parents, he then acquired animal–like behaviors to survive for years. Most children in this time were
detailed by there non–human qualities, such as running on all fours, hunting for their food,
exceptional since of hearing and smell, and absence of language. As many of these children were
rescued and brought back into human society, there animal behavior coupled and they were unable
to master any sort of language. This fascinated many philosophers, who began to wonder if these
children really belonged to another species besides the human race. The question "do they really
belong to another species", was taken with great seriousness. In the 18th and 19th century scientist

Genies father had tied her to a "potty" chair during the day and at night strapped her into a crib. The
child was not allowed to make any noise and sometimes would go days without any contact. This
abuse was not only given to Genie but to an older brother who after the discovery of Genie was

interaction from an early age, where they have a slight or no experience of human care, contact, or

cases, including their own parents or guardians. This form of neglection was due to the parent's
denial of care and affection towards the child. Feral children normally exhibit some form of

mature with age (Keating, 2011, P1). Genes are a major influence on certain physical aspects, along
with a few illnesses. The positive relationship between genetically related individuals who acquire
similar physical features causes assumptions as to whether behavioural, personality and

Conception Of A Feral Child
A feral child is a child who has been in isolation from human contact from a very young age. They
have little or no experience of human care, behavior, or have little knowledge of human language.
This therefore hinders their development of human social skills. Some feral children have been
confined, a lot of times it would be by their own parents. In some cases, child abandonment occurs
due to the parents' rejection of a child's severe intellectual or physical impairment. Feral children
experience a lot of things including: severe abuse or trauma before being abandoned or before they

Locke argued that all ideas came from experience. The debate over nature versus nurture could be
spanned back to when philosophy was predominantly the way of explaining the acquisition of
knowledge and continues in more recent times with scientific evidence consisting of facts and
numbers giving support to one side or the other. Both the recent and historical back and forth
between great scholars helps each one individually to come to their own conclusions of whether
nature or nurture is the more dominant factor contributing to a person's knowledge and intelligence.
Learned behaviour is the result of experiences through life, nurture rather than nature. An acquired
behaviour is the type of attribute which cannot be passed on genetically; the ability to read and write
and language are all learnt behaviours. An instance where behaviour is learnt could be when pain is
experienced due to a particular course of action; for example, if someone puts their fingers over a
small flame and gets burnt, this experience will cause the victim in future to be cautious around fire
and they will be much less likely to repeat the action. Throughout history there have been instances,
though rare, where children have spent a significant amount of their developmental years in the
wild, devoid of human contact. These children were called Feral (meaning wild or existing in a
natural state). These cases goes some way in helping to establish what aspects of human

Attachment Theory 4
Bowlby 's maternal deprivation hypothesis assumes that continual disruption of the attachment bond
between the infant and primary caregiver would result in long term cognitive, social and emotional
difficulties for the child. To what extent has research into deprivation and privation supported this
view. Bowlby claimed that the role of a mother was essential to a child and without this essential
mother figure it would affect the child's psychological health. He called this theory the maternal
deprivation hypothesis. Bowlby conducted most of his research through observing orphans and

could have major effects on the child's development. It ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Bowlby studied the effects of short term deprivation, he concluded that the child goes through three
stages of distress. Protest, the child kicks and screams in order to prevent their mother from leaving,
Despair the child appears to be apathetic but it still angry about the separation and detachment,
when the separation continues the child begins to respond to others again, when reunited with the
mother at this stage the child may have to develop a relationship over again. Long term deprivation
is a permanent separation through death or divorce. Bowlby concluded that the most common effect
of long term deprivation is separation anxiety. Separation anxiety may lead to aggressive behaviour,
clingy behaviour, detachment and psychosomatic reactions. Divorce can have a huge effect on a
child. Divorce is a long process that can affect a child for a period of years. Most children are
affected by divorce but the process can be generally more difficult for boys. According to
Hetherington and Stanley– Hagan (1999) most children are resilient enough to adapt to their parent
divorce after a period of time has passed. The main facotrs of divorce that can affect a child are, how
often they see the non– custodial parent, the lifestyle or financial implications of being part of a
single parent family and if one or both parents remarry, this can cause a massive difference in family
life due to the child having to come to terms with their new

Nature Vs Nurture Essay
How did your temperament flourish? The phrase nature and nurture relates to the relative
importance of an individual's innate qualities as compared to an individual's personal experiences in
causing individual differences, especially in behavioral traits. This debate is basically deciding if
your genetics have more effect on you or society. Hereditary and environmental elements both frame
identity. Identical twins are different in many ways. Personality changes over time. Studies have also
shown that nurture is more dominant than nature in shaping personality. Nurture is definitely extra
dominant in molding your identity. It is true that twins can be Identical, but there may be

Nature Vs Nurture In Child Development
One of the oldest arguments in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture debate. This said
debate is important in whether the child's development is based only in genetics or environmental
impacts. The definition of nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are.
Throughout the child's development, it is seen that the genetic influence over abstract traits of the
child may exist; but, the environmental factors are the real origins of our behavior. This shows that
the use of conditioning in the aspects of physical, social, and moral is crucial to the child's
development as it is the product of maturation. In the physical aspect, it shows that the deprivation

It believes that babies are born with a "blank state" and that is gradually filled by experiences
through the help of their parents and society. Without physical contact of someone with knowledge
of language, the child may suffer from language deficiency. This is also proven by B.F. Skinner,
stating that children learn words by associating sounds with objects, or by simply imitating others.
This is also the case of Oxana Malaya, the girl that was abandoned by her parents and was raised by
dogs. For eight years, she didn't obtain language through people, thus, she was constantly barking
and walking with her hands. Nurture is also evident in social development through Vgotsky's Social
Development Theory. He stated that the cultural development of the child appears twice: first, on the
social level, and later, on the individual level. He places more emphasis on social contributions and
interactions from the parents and society. Environmental factors also influence the moral
development through Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development. He found out that the children that
are faced with different problems, and their decisions on whether they are to act positively or
negatively over each dilemma are heavily influenced by environmental aspects. His stages include
shaping child behaviors through authority figure's advice, gain approval of others, and lastly,

Feral Children & Harlow's Monkeys: Psychological Experiments
In the middle of the twentieth century, Harry and Margaret Harlow began to study the effects of
body contact in terms of developmental attachment. Their breakthrough experiments involved infant
monkeys separated from their mother near birth and raised in cages with two surrogate mothers: one
a wire cylinder and the other wrapped in terry cloth. After varying such details as location of the
feeding bottle, rocking, and warmth, the Harlows were startled to find that the monkeys bonded
much more closely to the cloth mother, regardless of whether or not "she" provided the food.
(Myers, 2011, pp. 149–151). In parallel to Harlow's monkeys was Victor, found in the forests of
France in 1800, when he became the first feral child to be successfully restored to society as well as
scientifically studied by Parisian doctor Jean Marc Itard. Followed by children of many ages hailing
from the abandoned flats of the Ukraine to the urbanized and bustling streets of Los Angeles, CA,
feral children were defined by their lack of human care, usually because of abusive or irresponsible
parents. Such isolation from their own society often resulted in resorting to animals, especially dogs,
for love and warmth, and to wild, abnormal behavior. None were able to completely and certainly
bounce back from their cruel circumstances, a fact shown in their lack of humanity, as Itard defined
it, in one of two areas: emotional empathy or liguistic communication. ("Wild Child The Story Of

after his interaction with the De Laceys. In addition, it is evident that his perception of himself is as
a "wretch", even saying "All men hate the wretched; how then must I be hated, who am miserable

Causes Of The Malayan Emergency
The Malayan Emergency was a guerrilla war fought in pre– and post– independence Federation of
Malaya. The main antagonists were the Common Wealth Armed forces on one side and the Malayan
National Liberation Army, and the military arm of the Malayan Communist Party on the other side.
The Common Wealth Forces armed the communist party during their war with the Japanese Army in
the Second World War. The Malayan Emergency was originally the colonial government's term for
the conflict. The rubber plantation and tin mining industries pushed for the use of the term
"emergency" since their losses would not have been covered by the insurances if they had been
termed a war.
During the Malayan Emergency, both the opposition and the Common Wealth Forces had mass
casualties and deaths. In the Malaya Emergency, the Common Wealth Forces applied so many
strategies to defeat their enemies unlike in other wars. Consequently, the applied principles and the
strategies during the war had been plundered by the Western countries. At first, the Common Wealth
Forces used the common ways of dealing the situations. They swept the large areas, captured and
detained in large numbers and, then punished large groups of people. Despite, they could not

Question 2: The three children missed the primary social skills, which we learn from our parents,
relatives, and other social entities such as church, friends, and neighbors. In addition, they had no
opportunity to develop the looking glass self. The periods of socialization that they missed were the
learning period for language acquisition skills, learning how to receive and express love to others,
getting in touch with the essential values of our culture, and learning the ethical values of society.,
The main causes of their disabilities were parent negligence, social isolation, and abnormal
development of their brain as a consequence of these factors.

One can infer that the situation endured by these children is called the forbidden experiment,
considering that their experiences were against the normal parental love influence. The conscious
rejection, lack of parental love, negligence, and close contact with children definitely left children to
the mercy of nature. Nurture was denied to the children due to their parents' abnormal mentality and
their social vices, which almost destroy any sign of humanity from their offspring. Therefore, their

Feral Children Research Paper
Feral Children: Examples of Extreme Neglect Socialization is "the lifelong process of social
interaction through which individuals acquire a self–identity and the physical, mental, and social
skills needed for survival in society" (Kendall 87). In other words, this is the time when the
individual figures out who they are, what they feel, and what they think in order to participate in
society. This is where we learn role taking, how to control our behavior, and how to communicate
with others (Kendal 87). A feral child is a child who has lived isolated from human contact,

Everything the child sees, they imitate. During this time, they learn to walk, talk, learn, and develop
their own personality. A critical part of socialization comes from George Herbet Mead's "Role–
Taking and Stages of the Self" theory (Kendall 95–96). The first step is the preparatory stage where
children learn to imitate the people around them, usually parents and other family members. The
second stage is the play stage where children start to develop language skills and take the role of
another person that they look up to. The final stage is the game stage, where children begin to
understand who they are, and who other people are as well. In this stage, children learn to play
sports and participate in other activities that require them to have an idea of what society expects of
them (Kendall 95–96). If a child is denied the ability to go through these stages, they do not receive
the proper socialization that they will need to survive in the world. Socialization among children is
very important. A child must learn how to walk, talk, eat, use the restroom, read, write, and do many
other important skills. Without socialization, these children will not be able to develop intelligence
and will not learn how to perform basic daily functions. Children must be taught and know the

Analysis Of ' There Is A Monster ' By Mary Shelley
Feral children or "wild children" (What happens to those who grow up in complete isolation?) The
lack of parents' presence and responsibilities make children become wild. These following points
show how a child becomes feral: lack of family, lack of guidance, and lack of love. In Shelley's
novel, there is a monster that was created by Victor. He has suffered these lacks. According to
Shelley's novel the creature also becomes wild because the lack of family, guidance and love. A
child that grow up without a family can be describe as a person that is living a desperate life because
that child does not have anybody around him or her to make this child feel more secure about his or
her life. To be specific, most things they can do when their parents are not around them, they will
not do it if the parents are present. Ingley says. "I don 't think the general public really knows what it
wants from its criminal justice system, and in particular, how it wants to address the problem of
youthful offenders in our society" (Brian, paragraph 17). The lack of family makes a great impact in
these children's life because it leads them to the misbehavior; for example, they do crimes, and also
being disrespectful. Furthermore, if many children are living with their families, the society would
have another image without any crimes, and many more problems that can make others suffer. Some

"I carried this with me for decades. And then I decided to become a Warrior instead of a victim
statistic. I broke the cycle" (Unknown). Child abuse is the harming of a child that causes extreme
injury, emotional instability, or even death. Neglect is a form of child abuse where a parent does not
provide the proper care that a child needs to successfully grow and develop. Child molestation is
another form of child abuse, and involves an adult or older adolescent using a child for their own
sexual pleasure. There are thousands of cases being reported every year. However, we may never
know the exact number of cases. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It is indeed heinous to hear an innocent child cry out and that person continues to harm. All child
molesters, and abusers need to have severe punishments, and to be off of the street. Children who
get molested and/or abused, suffer from long term problems that include depression, and trouble
forming relationships. This tragic incident can also take years to get over, if not, haunt them for the
rest of their lives.
Today, convictions of child molestation can already be severe. This depends on the state. According
to "Criminal Defense Lawyer" (NOLO), in Georgia, a person accused of molesting a child can have
a sentence of 5 to 25 years for their first offense. Any other similar crimes committed by the same
criminal, can cause them to have a sentence of 10 years to life. The penal code for any libidinous
acts with a child 14 years of age and younger, in California, includes a sentence of up to 8 years, for
each felony count against that person. Every separate act is its own felony charge. Also, any sexual
intercourse with someone under the age of 10, will be punished with a sentence of up to 25 years to
years. In Ohio, any who rapes a child under the age of 13 is to have time in prison, or a life sentence,
even if the person did not know the child's correct age. Child sexual abusers will also have to
register themselves as a sex offender. This includes, the person's name, and location. Anyone will be

Nature Vs. Nurture By Francis Galton

  • 1. Nature Vs. Nurture By Francis Galton "You inherit your environment just as much as your genes." (Rich, 2015) In 1869, the phrase "nature vs. nurture was coined by an English polymath named Francis Galton. There are two sides to this debate, each with their own pros and con's. Nature is the side that argues that the DNA and genotype humans are born with determines who they are and what personality and traits they will have throughout their lifetime. Whereas the nurture side of the debate argues that humans are born with sponges as minds, and through interactions and experiences while we grow, the knowledge and understanding of life is gained and this is how our personalities are sculpted. Many people have studied this debate through multiple schools of thoughts; each with their own arguments to which side they believe prevails. Yet, to this day, there is no proof to say which side of the debate if correct. Based on the psychological, sociological, and epigenetic schools of though, it can be validated that when it comes to the nature vs. nurture debate, nurture will always prevail and remain most relevant. The basic assumption of psychologists in correlation to nurture is that the mind is a "blank slate, or tabula rasa" (Locke, 1689) during infancy, and continues to absorb new information as the environment changes with the child. There are multiple disciplines within the psychological school of thought that become very relevant when studying nurture. For starters, cognitive psychology states that mental ...

  • 3. Feral Children: Socially Deprived Feral children can stem from two very different backgrounds. They can be "wild", which means they grew up in a wild environment such as a forest or jungle. The children can also be deeply socially deprived meaning they did not have any human connection or affection. Wild When you think of a "wild child" you think of a person who takes risks or doesn't follow the set rules. What wild children actually are, are children who literally were raised in the wilderness. These children have no sense of parents or rules. When thinking of these children you think of the phrase " raised by wolves" and that is exactly what they are. These children do not have any human connection whatsoever, they may end up acting exactly like the animals they were grown up around. A child who only knows a dog as its parent may grow up to think that they actually are a dog themselves. They will pant, walk and eat just as they would. Taking children from this lifestyle and trying to form them into a regular human being is hard but not impossible. Studies have shown that the younger the child Is the easier it is to revert them back to the human connection. Socially Deprived ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... These children are not raised by wolves, they are not raised at all. They do not have the human connection that a child should get from a young age. An example of a feral child would be one who was neglected by its parents. They do not have any social interactions with parents or peers. These children do not learn the basics of language or behavior. They grow up not seeing the outside world and what it is like to have connections with other human beings. Children of this upbringing would not know how to speak, socialize with other kids, or grow at the same rate as other children their ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. Wolf Gang Wolf Gang; The Sheep in wolves clothing What is the line between being civilized and tamed, against acting wild and savage? What separates human intellect against animalistic nature? Humans have animalistic instincts, yet we fear it often choosing to hide it calling it taboo or deeming it inappropriate to a civilized society. Famed Psychologist Sigmund Freud once stated, "The pleasure of satisfying a savage instinct, undomesticated by the ego, is incomparably much more intense than the one of satisfying a tamed instinct" (Freud, ?) What Freud is saying is that satisfying a tamed instinct is artificial, compared to satisfying something that is engrained in our animal nature. Animal Nature connects itself to the short story "The Company of Wolves" ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The story is interesting by raising questions about what the savage instincts represents to a community that is in the edge of civilization, in a location where nature and society clash. The story in short represents Sigmund Freud's clash of human nature and the animal state (Id), the cultured state (ego) and the self–state (superego) and the representation of humanity in a state where there is no discernible difference between humans and beasts. In the end the humans have the potential to be as savage as the wolves in the right circumstances. The circumstances that created this nature of humans as wolves are influenced partly by the location in which the story takes place, the forest. Like the Original Red Riding Hood story the woods are as ominous and threatening to the young female protagonist. Unlike Red Riding Hood though, the story by Angela Carter is much more specific on the wolves and what they represent as symbols of human barbarity. In the story, it is stated that, "It is winter and cold weather. In this region of mountain and forest, there is now nothing for the wolves to eat."(Carter,1085). The wolves or savagery is created through condition, the influence of the location makes human harder both physically and mentally, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Child Abuse And Neglect: A Hidden Epidemic The experiences we have as children shapes our behaviors and they way our brains function as adults. Child abuse and neglect is a hidden epidemic that not everyone fully understands or knows about its existence. Every year three million reports are made against child abuse; more than six million children are affected annually. The United States carries one one the highest records of child abuse among industrialized countries. Abuse can be in many forms: physical, emotional, and sexual. Child abuse can cause many harmful heath issues in children. Mental heath disorders, sexual and reproductive health issues, and behavioral health (criminal behaviors) can all be a result of experiencing abuse as a child. Child abuse is more prevalent in children ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Whether it be a broken bone, emotional distress, or never being able to have a healthy relationship, children are always affected. Abuse effects the way children think and act. Children learn their behaviors from their parents and often abuse is a never ending cycle for most families because it is perceived as normal. Most children think "That's how I was raised and I turned out fine". and they never really come to terms with their injuries (whether superficial or not) from abuse. Often times it takes someone going to a therapist to realized their parent really was toxic to their health. Child abuse is an epidemic that as a society we need to try our hardest to prevent and eliminate. In my opinion, I truly believe that child abuse and neglect is a true epidemic that we are not taking seriously as a society. So many children are abused and neglected in one year's time and almost no one bats an eye. I think that most people are too afraid to report someone that they know for abusing their child. That is greatly upsetting because it is the child that is continuing to suffer because of an onlooker's cowardice. We have so many ways to report abuse and most cases you can report anonymously so I struggle to understand why some are still scared to report what they have ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. Feral Children: Marie-Angelique Le Blanc And Genie Wiley Feral or wild children are a rare phenomenon that has been seen on occasion for centuries. They are defined as a human child who has lived in isolation from human contact from a profoundly young age. These kids have had little or no experience of human care, behavior, and language. The three categories of feral children are: children who are raised by animals, isolated children, and confined children (FERAL CHILDREN). A child who wasn't left on their own purposefully would be classified as isolated; whereas if they had been left alone purposefully the classification would then be confined. There are only a handful of reported cases of kids raised by animals or those who were isolated. These children being studied is what is known as the Forbidden Experiment (IN TEXT). Marie–Angelique Le Blanc and Genie Wiley are two such cases of a feral child. Each girl is vastly different in her upbringing after being discovered, her origins, and how she learned to speak the native language. Almost all ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... She is categorized as being a confined child. Her upbringing after her discovery was very scientific and cold. Genie was seen as more of an experiment and experienced very little love from her parental figures. After the money ran out, she was bounced around from caregiver to caregiver for the remainder of her life. Genie had originally come from an abusive home where some of her older siblings had died when they were younger. She was left in almost total isolation because her father did not want children. She had never been taught to speak as the father believed Genie to be retarded while her mother was going deaf. Due to never having been taught how to speak, the English language was considerably harder for the 13 year old to learn. She struggled with grammar and the construction of sentences. Unfortunately, Genie ended up retreating back into herself again and no longer ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. Techniques of the Body As human beings we are very active creatures. It is very rare we sit absolutely still with no movement at all, in fact to do so would be considered strange in most social contexts. These movements are not however sporadic, they are in fact highly controlled, practiced skills. Even when remaining relatively still, for example, to rest or sleep, we have still been taught the required skills to do so, whether it's how to sit on a chair or lay on a bed, these are very ordinary, everyday techniques that we take for granted and perceive as something natural, but often they are technique's we have been taught to do. Marcel Mauss in his work Techniques of the Body (1934) is regarded as the first piece of work to outline a systematic anthropology ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Bourdieu calls habitus "a structured and structuring structure, consisting of a system of schemes of perception and appreciation" (Bourdieu 1984:289), put simply it is an explanation of the subjective way in which different groups, be this grouping be by class, age, gender or culture, understand and perceive the world around them. So it can be said that it is from this that differences in taste exist throughout the globe thus creating cultural characteristics and variations. So as many societies differ across the globe, so do their System of symbols, which are based around their taste and cultural beliefs. This then forms different sets of rules of bodily conduct which then become firmly ingrained in their structure through the notion of habitus. It was through observation and with this notion of culture as a structured set of rules that Mauss came to believe that 'techniques of the body' are not just biologically inherent or haphazard, but are in fact highly developed body actions that embody aspects of an individual's given culture. One of the first examples Mauss gives is of his observation of various armies and the way in which they march. He speaks of how the English army marches with a different step to the French. He noticed this difference in asymmetry when the British Worchester Regiment, having achieved glory amongst the French in the battle of Aisne, requested to march alongside the French Trumpets and drums as a sign ...

Genie Secret Of The Wild Child Summary The documentary "Genie, Secret of the Wild Child" seeks to enlighten its audience on the many travesties and peculiar consequences which occur as a direct result of the forbidden experiment. The main object of its queries being Genie, a thirteen–year–old girl deprived of society by the very people who were meant to protect her from harm, her parents. The state in which she was found, was particularly unbecoming of her father, considering the fact he had been the one so adamant in her isolation from society as he believed her to be retarded. During these first real human interactions was she then described as possessing both the mannerisms and gait of a six–year–old autistic child, most likely in reference to her infamous bunny walk and curious ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There was even a period of time in which it seemed as if Genie would eventually live as normal a life as possible for her, provided that she continued the treatments. Unfortunately, this tale of woe was not and could not be afforded a happy ending. There was a snag in the plan, it seemed that Genie had hit a roadblock. She was a master of memorization, but when asked to formulate coherent thoughts, she was rendered incapable. This in part may have been caused by the scientists strict expectations of her, so it seemed as if Genie could no longer demonstrate much improvement under such emotional strain. Perhaps an even greater cause of Genie's roadblock could be accredited to Mr. Rigler, however, a scientist who had been charged with the task of both caring and observing ...

  • 15. Feral Children In Lord Of The Flies In the Lord of the Flies the whole plot is centered around these boys who can be seen as feral children. A feral child is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact. Most of the time these children will have no experience regarding human care, social niceties, or language. Therefore, most of the time these children will not be able to speak or even stand up straight. They could also be unable to use facilities. Another problem a feral child would face is being unable to learn at a normal speed depending on how long they were isolated this is due to their lack in interest in human activity around them. This also causes these children to not be able to create bonds with other people. With this, these children have little to no morals to keep them in check because they are willing to do most anything to justify what they or someone else does. This is the same way for the island boys because they were on their own on this deserted island with no adults to tell them what to do or what not to do. Over the course of time these boys began to lose themselves and not even have the same morals as they did before the plane crashed. It can be argued that the reason the boys became feral on while on the island ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I don't understand why. We began well: we were happy. And then– (Golding page 82)". This helps to prove that the boys are becoming more instinctual because at the start of the book they all still had their morals from their parents and had not been in a situation where they needed to break them. However, they are now beginning to face more impactful decisions and situations. One could also look at it as there are now more things threatening the survival of the boys which cause them to make riskier decisions. The choices that they choose is what makes the boys more instinctual. Not the choices themselves but what comes out of their decision and not the situation is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 17. Feral Children Case Study I recall hearing an interesting story about a young child a while back, who was raised by wolves and behaved much like them. Feral children are the result of years of neglect and isolation. They are children who have been raised away from society in harsh and solitary conditions. These children are for the most part always mentally and socially underdeveloped. To understand feral children, one should examine how they respond to isolation, how they react to integration, and if they are able to acquire the skills they lost while being deprived of social interaction. Before we can examine the behavior of these children, we need to determine the root cause of this transgression. Growing up, these kids have very limited contact with other people, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In the case of children raised by animals, they at least do learn some skills that can be helpful towards their survival. A child raised in complete isolation however, will lack drastically more social and physical skills. These children may not show any levels of intelligence. A case of this type of isolation was that of a child named Anna, who was born in 1932 in Pennsylvania. Anna was raised in solitude ever since her mother was unsuccessful in giving her away. For about 6 years, Anna was in total isolation and was barely given enough food to keep her alive. She was completely alone, and did not get to interact with anybody else during the time she was being kept, locked away in a dark room. Considering the fact that this was happening during an important stage in the developmental process, it had a great impact on Anna's cognitive ability. Once she was found, she was in a very bad state both physically and mentally. "She was suffering from malnutrition as well as her muscles showed signs of atrophy. She was immobile, expressionless and indifferent to everything," (Davis 1). Atrophy is a condition in which the muscle and tissue rot away, meaning that Anna was very diseased and living in terrible conditions. She also didn't react to anything around her or any type of stimuli, revealing that her cognition was very slow, and something was wrong with her mentally. She eventually began to learn how to speak, but still never fully became a member of society, and died in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 19. Feral Child : A Tragic Story Of Feral Children Feral children are a very real tragic story that has plagued society over time. Growing up we watched Tarzan of the Apes, which fascinated us with the wild notion that a lost child in the middle of the jungle being raised by apes. Since, the early 1700s reports of children, possibly being raised by different types of animals with no human social interaction surfaced. However, not always the true with every reported case of feral children. For instance, many cases are the result of being neglected by the parents or caregivers. The result is a lack of basic understanding of human language or human interaction. Surrounded by wild animals such as wolves and apes could a human child survive is a question that has fascinated people thought out time. Many have come to believe the stories as legends, fictional stories and even real life. For instance, the greatest legend from Roman times revolves around two little girls Romulus and Remus found along a river by a she–wolf which raised them as her own (Andrews, 2015 "History.com"). Another example, Tarzan a very famous fictional story of a small boy found wandering the jungle by apes who raised him. Lastly, Oxana Malaya a young Ukraine girl found in 1991 living among dogs since the age of three (Sinicki, www.healthguidance.org). Not every feral child case revolves around being raised by animals, but that of a lost child. In fact, an early case of feral child started with John of Liege a 5–year–old boy, separated from his family trying ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 21. Nature And Nurture In Lord Of The Flies A feral child (also, colloquially, wild child) is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and has no (or little) experience of human care. It is said that feral children are the real life experiment that we cannot ethically carry out. They question what the defining factors in human nature are and furthermore how much society impacts on our personalities. The texts I have chosen are Romulus and Remus (Roman myth), The Girl with no Name by Lynne Barret–Lee, The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling and Lord of the flies by William Golding. All four texts propose that the experiences we have as a child are the most significant ones in making us who we are. Most texts discuss the idea of Nature Versus Nurture Nature and nurture relates to the inherent qualities (nature) as opposed to personal experiences (nurture). In the 1954 classic Lord of the Flies, Golding slowly shapes the boys and leads the reader from a group of civilized young boys into true savages. Golding uses a metaphor to compare [Jack's] laughter to the "bloodthirsty snarling" of an animal. This demonstrates to the reader Jack's descent into barbarism and we question whether he is more human or wild animal. The text is written in an omniscient third person so it is easy to see the boy's predicament, "What are we? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The prologue, written by Vanessa James (Chapman's daughter), says that Chapman had "always been our 'monkey mummy'". Because the prologue was written by Chapman's daughter, the audience can easily see that her children had an unconventional upbringing whether it be "showing [the children] her favourite edible plants in the forest" to "picking things out of each other's hair at night". These are clearly simian references that Chapman had acquired over her "5 or so" years with the monkeys as a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Feral children, also known as wild children, were accidentally or intentionally shut out or had little interaction with the human world. Most of the time these children were seen living between the human and animal world. Most people believe that wild children only show up in myths, but in the modern era people intend to study them. They study any of there human like qualities such as language use. During the 20th century psychologists wanted to distinguish the behaviorism and biological nature of wild children. They focused on the children in complete isolation and ones raised by animals. In the 17th century, outside of myth and legend, there were only few stories of feral children in Europe. Then in the 1600s, more cases started to appear. There were stories and tales of a wolf boy in Germany and kids getting abducted by polar bears in Poland. In 1644 a story emerges of a boy known by John of Liege. He was lost in the woods by his parents, he then acquired animal–like behaviors to survive for years. Most children in this time were detailed by there non–human qualities, such as running on all fours, hunting for their food, exceptional since of hearing and smell, and absence of language. As many of these children were rescued and brought back into human society, there animal behavior coupled and they were unable to master any sort of language. This fascinated many philosophers, who began to wonder if these children really belonged to another species besides the human race. The question "do they really belong to another species", was taken with great seriousness. In the 18th and 19th century scientist began to name, classify, and understand the natural world and human development. The most known child in the 18th century was Peter the Wolf Boy.

Empiricists believe that development is influenced by social factors and environmental experiences. On the other hand nativists view development as predisposed and defined by the genetic codes of an individual, including those that subsequently mature with age (Keating, 2011, P1). Genes are a major influence on certain physical aspects, along with a few illnesses. The positive relationship between genetically related individuals who acquire similar physical features causes assumptions as to whether behavioural, personality and psychological attributes could also be inherited (McLeod, 2007).

The debate over nature versus nurture could be spanned back to when philosophy was predominantly the way of explaining the acquisition of knowledge and continues in more recent times with scientific evidence consisting of facts and numbers giving support to one side or the other. Both the recent and historical back and forth between great scholars helps each one individually to come to their own conclusions of whether nature or nurture is the more dominant factor contributing to a person's knowledge and intelligence. Learned behaviour is the result of experiences through life, nurture rather than nature. An acquired behaviour is the type of attribute which cannot be passed on genetically; the ability to read and write and language are all learnt behaviours. An instance where behaviour is learnt could be when pain is experienced due to a particular course of action; for example, if someone puts their fingers over a small flame and gets burnt, this experience will cause the victim in future to be cautious around fire and they will be much less likely to repeat the action.

Long term deprivation is a permanent separation through death or divorce. Bowlby concluded that the most common effect of long term deprivation is separation anxiety. Separation anxiety may lead to aggressive behaviour, clingy behaviour, detachment and psychosomatic reactions. Divorce can have a huge effect on a child.

This said debate is important in whether the child's development is based only in genetics or environmental impacts. The definition of nurture refers to all the environmental variables that impact who we are. Throughout the child's development, it is seen that the genetic influence over abstract traits of the child may exist; but, the environmental factors are the real origins of our behavior.

It believes that babies are born with a "blank state" and that is gradually filled by experiences through the help of their parents and society. Without physical contact of someone with knowledge of language, the child may suffer from language deficiency. This is also proven by B.F.

This is also the case of Oxana Malaya, the girl that was abandoned by her parents and was raised by dogs. For eight years, she didn't obtain language through people, thus, she was constantly barking and walking with her hands. Nurture is also evident in social development through Vgotsky's Social Development Theory. He stated that the cultural development of the child appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level. He places more emphasis on social contributions and interactions from the parents and society. Environmental factors also influence the moral development through Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development.

Feral Children & Harlow's Monkeys: Psychological Experiments In the middle of the twentieth century, Harry and Margaret Harlow began to study the effects of body contact in terms of developmental attachment. Their breakthrough experiments involved infant monkeys separated from their mother near birth and raised in cages with two surrogate mothers: one a wire cylinder and the other wrapped in terry cloth. After varying such details as location of the feeding bottle, rocking, and warmth, the Harlows were startled to find that the monkeys bonded much more closely to the cloth mother, regardless of whether or not "she" provided the food. (Myers, 2011, pp. 149–151). In parallel to Harlow's monkeys was Victor, found in the forests of France in 1800, when he became the first feral child to be successfully restored to society as well as scientifically studied by Parisian doctor Jean Marc Itard. Followed by children of many ages hailing from the abandoned flats of the Ukraine to the urbanized and bustling streets of Los Angeles, CA, feral children were defined by their lack of human care, usually because of abusive or irresponsible parents. Such isolation from their own society often resulted in resorting to animals, especially dogs, for love and warmth, and to wild, abnormal behavior. None were able to completely and certainly bounce back from their cruel circumstances, a fact shown in their lack of humanity, as Itard defined it, in one of two areas: emotional empathy or liguistic communication.

The main antagonists were the Common Wealth Armed forces on one side and the Malayan National Liberation Army, and the military arm of the Malayan Communist Party on the other side. The Common Wealth Forces armed the communist party during their war with the Japanese Army in the Second World War. The Malayan Emergency was originally the colonial government's term for the conflict. The rubber plantation and tin mining industries pushed for the use of the term "emergency" since their losses would not have been covered by the insurances if they had been termed a war. During the Malayan Emergency, both the opposition and the Common Wealth Forces had mass casualties and deaths.

Consequently, the applied principles and the strategies during the war had been plundered by the Western countries. At first, the Common Wealth Forces used the common ways of dealing the situations. They swept the large areas, captured and detained in large numbers and, then punished large groups of people. Despite, they could not achieve so much out of their first move.

The periods of socialization that they missed were the learning period for language acquisition skills, learning how to receive and express love to others, getting in touch with the essential values of our culture, and learning the ethical values of society., The main causes of their disabilities were parent negligence, social isolation, and abnormal development of their brain as a consequence of these factors.

Her parents were married in 1944 Clark was 20 years his wife's senior and their marriage was riddled with domestic violence. Their first two children were both suspiciously killed before their first birthday. It was reported that Clark Wiley extremely disliked children and was very mentally unstable. The third of the Wiley children John lived with Clarks mother Pearl, when she was killed in a hit and run accident Clark held his son responsible which only added to his fragile mental health. The final child of the couple was Genie. At a doctor's appointment in late 1958 when Genie was 20 months old the doctor diagnosed her with mild retardation. However, this claim has been debated.

Feral Children Research Paper Feral Children: Examples of Extreme Neglect Socialization is "the lifelong process of social interaction through which individuals acquire a self–identity and the physical, mental, and social skills needed for survival in society" (Kendall 87).

The final stage is the game stage, where children begin to understand who they are, and who other people are as well. In this stage, children learn to play sports and participate in other activities that require them to have an idea of what society expects of them (Kendall 95–96). If a child is denied the ability to go through these stages, they do not receive the proper socialization that they will need to survive in the world. Socialization among children is very important. A child must learn how to walk, talk, eat, use the restroom, read, write, and do many other important skills.
