Complete 3 pages APA formatted article: Topics in psychology. It is worthwhile highlighting that I found the above fact interesting because twin studies reveal that, for genes to be influential aspects, identical twins ought to be more alike compared to the fraternal twins. In addition, adoption studies reveal that for a shared environment to be influential, sibling brought up in similar families ought to be more similar compared to siblings reared separately. Consequently, the above fact has made me understand why my brother and myself, who are identical twins we are more alike than my cousin and his sister who are fraternal twins. Secondly, the fact has made me understand that since my brother was brought up in an urban environment, he is more advanced in inter personal communication skills than my sister because my sister was brought up in a rural environment. Consequently, from the lecture It has come to my conclusion that, urban environment has a profound impact on the language development due to the presence of a multilingual environment. Additionally, from the intelligence, I learnt from Robins’ ideas, “there is no single gene for intelligence, personality traits, behavior, or even height” (Robin 63). For instance, a certain chromosome accounts for the color of eyes and another chromosome accounts for the color of hair. Consequently, the environment has nothing at all to do in such traits. It is significant, noting that, I found such a fact interesting because one can broadly define Intelligence as a competence in problem solving. Lastly, from the same lecture I have learnt that, genetic variance is a critical variation constituent for every behavioral effect. however, a family’s variation is not a component for all the products of behaviors. The above fact is extremely interesting because, one can postulate that heritability is ubiquitous. hence, it has insignificant consequences for methodical appreciation of the process of development. Similarly, one can also argue that family environments are not significant causes of developmental products. However, one should not that genotype is significantly, a methodical variability source compared to the environment, although it is through substantive reasons. Notably, development is hardly a linear and interactive process. therefore, it cannot be controlled experimentally. Significantly, the above lecture has made me understand that, twin studies present a practical methodological approach. however, they do not illustrate the significant role of genes. In another lecture (memory), I learnt that, a person’s memory helps make him whom he is. Significantly, I got interested in the above fact because from lovingly recalling childhood activities to remembering where an individual left his phone, memory plays a fundamental role in all aspects of a person’s live. It endows in an individual a self-sense and makes up his recurrent life experience. Notably, one can reflect the memory as a filing cabinet for mental activities, storing away fragments of information until a person needs them. Certainty, memory is an outstandingly complex process that involves myriad brain parts. Memories can be sensory and long lasting, although they are also vulnerable to inaccuracies, as well as forgetting. In the topic motivation and emotion, I learnt that emotions are the stimulants towards the daily decisions made by an individual. Such a fact is highly interesting to me because it makes me realize why I perform excellently in languages than in mathematics.

Now that you’ve worked with some predictions from both the past and present, what predictions would you make for the future? For this activity, you’ll write a letter (about 300 words) from the year 2050 to your present day self, describing your life in the future. Think about what you might eat and wear. What kind of home will you live in? What will the climate be like? What kind of job will you have? How will you communicate with others? How will you travel? How will you read and write? If you need inspiration, look at some predictions made by a nonprofit group called the World Future Society: Buying and owning things will go out of style. More young people today are opting to rent things like bicycles, cars, and even phones and computers. This trend will continue. In the future few people will own homes or large items such as cars. We will bring extinct species back to life using advances genetic engineering. Rising sea levels due to climate change will submerge many coastlines and even entire nations. We will be able to predict the behavior of individuals using brain scans and other developments in neuroscience. The last hard copy of a book, newspaper, and magazine will be printed in 2020.
