Psychology

Hypothesis: Intelligence is not genetically inherited. Intelligence has less to do with genetics than with the socio-cultural environment in which a person has grown. The rise of genetics gave people a chance to prove that intelligence is genetically inherited. However, deep studies suggest otherwise. It is the environment and availability of resources that shape the intelligence of an individual. If people who are considered non-intelligent, are provided the same educational opportunities and social environment, then their display of intelligence will be on par with other people who developed in the same environment. Turkheimer and co-researchers (623) in their article ...

Contemporary American culture, for example, appears to value physical attributes and attractiveness, more than anything. Examining Gilgamesh and Odysseus can be helpful not only in revealing details about the different cultural ideals ...

In the process, the leader serves to motivate employees and other stakeholders so as to achieve the goals and objectives set by an organization’s management.

It is undoubtedly in hearts of many to say that in duration of its history, the world has barely seen an atrocity more disgusting and frightening than fascism.
