Response to Partner's Blog

Vaughn’s blog post was all about her curiosity with someone’s brain, the chemicals inside one’s brain, and what the brain is actually for.  She wondered if there are real any mental differences between males and females beyond physical differences.  My idea for how she could find these answers will have to be a pretty generic one.  Since we/you cannot actually experiment on peoples brain chemistry, Vaughn could do one of the following: 

Conduct social experiments, to see what people do and how they react an make an average of what different groups of people do,

Or…You could just do generic research on the Internet including gathering data, reading published scientific journals, and books.  Possibly something like that.  The problem is that there isn't a way to conduct an experiment on something of that caliber.  Maybe if we were a top lab, but the only way I could see a question like this answered would be through research.  

Blog Post, September 2, 2009

I think that I am mostly interested in human anatomy, how the human body works, and why.  I don't know, I've always wondered, because our bodies are always in function, always operating, and always doing something, it's crazy, I don't understand 99% of what my body is doing, even though I am doing it (sort of).  That's just pretty much what I am mostly interested in, mostly what I want to learn in this class, if we're even going to go through it.

But I'm also interested in the history of our adaptations, or evolution, I really believe in that stuff, but I don't really understand all of it, I don't really now all of it.
