Chapter 5 Blog

I actually didn't find this chapter as interesting as the previous one. Nevertheless I did find a few intriguing things throughout it. One was that teratogen is an agent that causes most birth defects. I have always had some interest towards the genetic side of things for personal reasons and for knowledge. I also thought Piaget's Theory was pretty nifty. Despite the fact that most theories prove out to have their flaws, it is the simple fact of how he thought of such things that interest me. His ideas were complex and thorough for the most part. How did he come about this despite the few corrections needed? The last thing I thought was cool was the Harry Harlow experiments with the rhesus monkeys. I remember this being brought up in my last year's sociology class. The fact that warmth and attention have such a huge part on any mammal rather significantly is astounding. It can question so many things. From analyzing the mental and emotional state of a creature, how every mammal is related and evolution sprawling off from that. I could come up with so many questions from such a simple experiment Harry Harlow brought to light.
