Great examples of how the limbic system helps us workout. I wanted to understand which part of the brain releases endorphins. Through my research, I discovered that endorphins are produced within the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. They function as messengers in the body, attaching to the brain’s reward centers (opioid receptors) and transmitting signals across the nervous system. Learning more about memory, both long term and short term and possibly how to improve them both.
The thought of artificial wombs in the future for women who cannot get pregnant themselves is truly amazing, but for far will they take it. Technology is always oooos and ahhhhhs when first released but then inevitably what happens? Someone always takes it too far and its scary to think what that place might be with artificial wombs.
I also agree on you views of gene editing, what can of worms will it open up for the future of these people that it is being tested on. With that said I do think if there are ways to alter DNA as an adult I’d say by all means…
Great insight, I didn’t “put myself in their shoes” when deciding that gene modification is not the way to go. Sometimes the struggle makes us stronger but when it comes to our children, we never want to see them struggle.
I also agree with your view on synthetic embryos and artificial wombs, what the future of technology could do for all of those people out their yearning to become parents, but it isn’t physically possible for one reason or another. Then there is the other side of this, what will happen if people then start to abuse this privilege. That is a terrifying thought!
You are one tough cookie! I too have a relationship with my grandparents like you do in the sense that they helped raise my brothers and me. You have come so far and can’t wait to see where it takes you! The quote I live by is “You’d never know a good day without a bad one.” kind of like yours 🙂
That is a lot of culture! sorry to hear about the struggles you have had along the way but I believe it has built you into a strong open minded individual with so much to offer!
Kudos to you Kim, for being strong and brave enough to fly the coop on your own, to experience a whole world so different then the way you were brought up! I believe you’re right when you say that this generation has been so touched by drug addiction, at this rate it will become a culture of its own. I too have seen my generation experience their share of addiction or loving someone with an addiction. I was curious to see where we stand here in New Hampshire on the depression scale and I’m very HAPPY to say we are not in the top 10. I like to think that is because we are culturally diverse in this state, possible proof that acceptance and culture are some of the keys to finding happiness. On the list I see Maine is number 3, just behind Oregon and West Virigina, states I believe to not have much culture within, it may be worth exploring! Great Share!
That is such an interesting way to think about how having elementary kids form a line can truly show personalities, even at a young age. Also linking how unaware of their own bodies in a certain space and lack of impulse control with learning gross motor skills, great perspective!
Seems we are all in agreement that testosterone is the greatest factor associated with males being more aggressive than females. I also agree with the fact that society promotes this, when it should be shunning it.
In addition, the psychological perspective that I would focus on would be mental and physical health. After I had my second child I suffered with postpartum depression. Something I never thought could happen to me, a time that was supposed to be the happiest of my life, I was mentally in a low spot. Seeking help and learning ways to cope and deal with my issues.
I agree with the reference to children learning safety and responsibility “the way you were brought up as a child will influence the adult you will become”. Those types of behaviors should be taught at a young age and what a simple way, such as lining up in elementary school. It makes me think about what other ways we were taught as children without realizing.
Unfortunately, aggression is brought out in men and women who want to show dominance. Men more so because of the testosterone, should be taught at a younger age about these “big” feelings and figure out other ways of coping before it gets to the point of being aggressive. I can imagine all of the factors you listed weigh differently such as hormones, testosterone, and genetics.
We are all just trying to “survive” in this crazy world, you’re doing a great job! Thanks for sharing 😊
