Social Suicide
Right nowWell it's finally time to face my fears
Gonna get the hell out of here
And create a fresher atmosphere
But the consequence is clear
There's a furnace set on high
And a yearning undefined
But it's time to turn the tide
It's social suicideLike you
Perserverence is a useless tool
Just a patron on a ship of fools
Feigning interest in the cast and crew
Why you've broken every single rule
There's a furnace set on high
And a yearning undefined
But it's time to turn the tide
It's social suicide
Shadows entertain the unwashed masses
Scholars explain their numb reactions
I don't even know if I can ever find truthbut
I'm sure it won't come from following you
There's a furnace set on high
And a yearning undefined
But it's time to turn the tideIt's social suicide.
This song is about the social pressures of society and highschool life. The nurture that family and surroundings provide on the youth today can make a person go crazy. This is a perfect song to express the feelings of many young people today.

Independant study: Blue is for Nightmare

In the book I read for my independant study the young girl has nightmares to tell the future. This book really did not relate to my big question, because the book did not get into enough depth about the nature of the girl to really compare the two. Nuture by her friends and school did impact her thinking but then again society impacts everyone's decisions. The question is does the nature part play a big impact on the way the person is nurtured.

Crime and Punishment

This book was actually quite perfect for my big question. Did society help form the way Raksnolvik act or was it in his nature. I believe that it was mostly society. The way he reacted to his job and poverty helped him decide that the pawn broker needed to die, because she was bad for society. If he had grown up in a better life style maybe he would not have thought that the pawn broker was a bad person. The guilt that he faced through out the course of the book however was in his nature. Society could not have effected his reaction to the murder that is all personal. So, for this book I think that society helped him to commit the murder, but his own nature caused his guilt.

King Henry the VI

In the play of King Henry the VI part one Hal the prince is rebelling against his father at the beginning. I think this is because of his nurture. His family/ Dad is trying to force him to be a good prince and learn the ways. In the end of the play however, Hal's strong good will nature leds him to be a good king. Better then his father. This allows me to believe that it was his nature not his nurture.

Oedipus

Oedipus is pretty revelant to my big question as well. But in this play I believe that his nature led to his down fall. He is sttong headed and stubborn. This being stubborn is what led him to kill his father. Cause he believed that he was better than the other king. Then when the orical came to tell Oedipus that he was the one who is causing the plague. He refuses to believe it and condemes the old man. By him trying to avoid his fate he ends up actually doing it. So his nature ended up killing him.

Ghosts

My big question is really revelant to this play. I believe that the main character is Oswald is effected by both nature and nuture. His mother sent him away when he was young. So he never really had a really family. So, he lacked nuturing which forced him to turn to women. Nature is his disease he was born with it. But believes that his father's actions caused him this disease and pain. But over all I think that his nurture is more relevant. Cause it was the way his mother treated him and his lack of family that led to his down fall.

My big Question

My big question is... Is a person more effected by their nature or the way they are raised? So it is basically Nature Vs. Nuture.
