I am awakened by the ear-piercing sound of my 6:30 alarm—right next to my head. Obviously, because I sleep right next to my phone, like a lot of other teenagers today.

Nurture is the behaviour which is learnt through environment and socialisation, whereas nature refers to the idea that behaviour is biological or innate. Psychologists believe that our behaviour is due to nature, whereas sociologists believe that it is down to nurture. One reason nurture is more significant than nature is primary socialisation. Primary socialisation occurs when a child learns the attitudes, values, and actions appropriate to the members of a particular culture. When we are born we don’t know the...

Martin Scorsese’s 'Taxi Driver' (1976) is an example of skillful and deliberate use of cinematography to engage the audience and provide...

This might be the most apparent similarity that Chillingworth...

By the 1960s, with the promotion by Lars Ullerstam, this community was referred to as a sexual minority. Then, as time progressed and people became more...

He suggests that the term ‘learning’ does not say much about what the learning is ‘about’ and ‘for’. To him, the purpose of education should not just...
