Entry 3: Draft 1

I. Research Disagreements

a. Biology and genetic play a role in popularity and social status

1.   I disagree with this because it is implying that certain behaviors from the desire to have a high social status is inherited. There are many children whose parents or generations before them may have had an aggression, or a stressful life event, and that child isn't aggressive or doesn't value popularity highly at all. It all has to do with the mind set of the child and what he or she values through their own personal experience.

2.   I understand that there are things in the blood system that could make you more dominant and aggressive therefore more reactive to others. But I also believe that can be changed with a certain mind set. My sister has to take certain pills for her seizures, and she is a bit aggressive because of it, but a few of my other little brothers and sisters are the same way, and they have no condition. The aggression could just be a result of being spoiled.
