Watch the video and take notes. You will have to answer some questions later on.

  1. I think this video answers a lot of questions involved in the process of formation within a person. Like for example how can brothers and sisters or any other member of the same family be so different, even though they lived in the same family, received same education, go to the same school, etc. Genes don’t determine our behavior, they established propensities. In my personal opinion, it is really important to give a real meaning in maintaining a healthy environment for those we care about, to make a better world. Healthy environment is a important piece in the education area.

  3. It's important that we notice how important it's to know about our individual's innate qualities. because everybody it's different, we learn, think and do other brain process that involves many things like the enviroment.And alsoit's important our heredity.
    So this its something very interesteing that many people have searched on. Where does the behevior of somebody come from? In my personal opinion I think it comes from both.

  4. It is very interesting the questioning of the video, as human beings we are shaped by genes and by the environment around us. For this reason two people can't be the same even if they have very similar genes or developed in the same social environment ( a greater care must be in this because you have more influence of the people around you).
