When we had to check out The Nurture Assumption review of Judith Harris, I thought it was quite interesting to think about. I mean you never really think, where would I be and how would I be without my parents? What if I was raised by someone else? I know I have thought of it maybe once or twice but I never really broke it down. There are so many things that could change if you had different parents but your social life was the same. Your morals, ethics, and the way you think or act would be different. I still am debating on all that to this moment. Trying to think of any other variables I may have skimmed over that wouldn't necessarily be a major impact on who you are now. Judith definitely got me thinking. I loved that.
Secondly I got intrigued by the Twin Studies. My dad is actually a fraternal twin, he has a twin sister. I doubt they are actually identical but then again if I read that article correctly I believe even opposite sex twins can be identical in a sense. It was just odd to think that twins that look not too much alike or act alike, etc. could be identical twins due to checking their blood.
Also after being into almost the second week of my sleep activity, I've realized quite a bit about my sleeping habits. Me and another student in psych have discussed it a bit and analyzed it together. We both kinda think maybe we don't get enough REM sleep which is kind of fascinating. I have to change a few variables in my activity and such but after I check it out some more I will hopefully understand my circadian rhythm a little better. It is just so cool that our bodies are so complex. I wish I understood it even more.
