Albert Einstein once said, “We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.” Being human is making mistakes. We make mistakes because we are capable of being scared, overconfident, zealous, and joyous. This myriad array of emotions both coerces and condemns our every action, dooming us to a life of acting on impulse and striving for perfection. Emotions can push us to do great things, yet also tempt us towards evil. Our capacity to act beyond primal instinct is what makes us human.
Teirsias’s observation.. In Teirsias’s observation he saying that it’s a moral crime to make a mistake and to have your mistake lead to something worse and you do nothing to fix it. It’s true, if you tell a lie and it makes into a bigger lie and someone is suffering from it and you do nothing about it you’re not a good person and Teiresias would also say you’re a not a good person. And if you lose your pride by fixing what you did wrong that is just one of the consequences that comes along with it. But it also depends on what your actions were, like if it was a lie and you fixed it I personally would say you’re a good person for fixing it, but if you killed someone and then you try to fix it I would say your still a bad person even if you’re

In Michael J. Sandel ‘s account “The Case Against Perfection” he talks about the positives and negatives of genetic engineering, and producing drugs to help the human species. Michael J. Sandel in my opinion agrees and disagrees with my idea of using genetic engineering, new procedures, and new drugs to help improve human life. Michael starts off on how these new ideas can help us out in four areas: muscles, memory, height, and sex selection. In the muscles category he talked about using the new genetic techniques to make muscles stronger. When you’re at old age your muscles tend to get weaker and they start to hurt.

Historically, they have been approached through one of two perspectives. First, the nature perspective suggests that human behavior is driven mostly by biology (evolution, genetics, brain chemistry, and hormones). In contrast, the nurture perspective suggests that behavior is driven mostly by the psychosocial environment (for example, how we were raised, our peers, the situations we are in at present). Interestingly, almost everyone in our culture seems to believe that nurture is more powerful than nature. More than likely, this is because it is easier to observe the effects of nurture in our lives (personal experience), because we have been told that nurture is more powerful in our culture (authority), and because it feels more empowering to believe that nurture has more of an effect, perhaps because it seems more controllable (bias).

The next theory that we will examine is the biological and evolutionary theories. These theories are that “important components of personality are inherited. (Feldman, 2009, p.399) This means that this theory is determined by our
According to a study conducted by Kenneth Fields, "Excessive striving for approval by that authority becomes the means to obtain perfection which can cause undue stress and pressure which can then actually diminish performance resulting in approval ratings that are less than desired and then causing frustration, anger and depression." Within the own assets of our minds, we build a cautious that block us from ever being our true selves
