    dont forget history dictates what is good and bad also. more so than anythign you mentioned.

    also when discussing nature vs nurture do you guys focus specifically on the human race or only on animals?

    evolutionary psychology dictates that isolating them into distinct nature and nurture categories isn't practical, and the common analagy made with this is one involving bread. You dont say that bread is 70% ingredients and 30% heat. You say that the ingredients, when introduced to a catalyst like heat, provides the product which is bread.

    In this sense, the slate that everyone starts out with is the ingredients, which are the favorable physical traits as well as mental "modules" (that give us the abilities to do things such as face recognition, language learning, emotion, etc.) that are passed down through evolution. The personalities we recieve are the result of taking these ingredients to a catalyst (in this case, our environment).

    well, something to that effect anyway.

    Psy paper

    Unless the question states"good" and "bad", don't use those words. Try and use things that are more sophisticated, such as "Positive" and "Negative". And definately don't use "things". Concepts, ideas, memes, whatever. Don't use "things".

    I also think you're being too vague, you should quote and refernce some material.

    Your structure needs some rework, if I talk to you on IRC, I can help you out with that if you like.

    The other is less definable in terms of science, but has generally been referred to throughout history as the soul.
    This is actually defined by science as "Conciousness."

    Take a look at this. I thinkit would be VERY helpful to, and contains some very relevant information about memetics.

    I think he's purposely using "good" and "bad" since that's his topic. He's not using "good" and "bad" to describe other stuff.

    Very unlikely, using those kinds of words makes writing very bland. I seriously doubt that is what's in the question, unless he's in one of those dead-shit classes...

    Psy paper

    The whole good and bad thing is a copout paper. If you want to do somehitng original, pick a subject like the whole kids not leaving their rooms in Japan or normal people suddenly going on killing rampages. At least somthing thats diffrent or not done to death already. I'm NOT trying to be insulting but it's just such a beaten horse.
