Dawson College Work presented to Mr. Roy Cartlidge English 101 10/18/06 An explanation of Sonnet CXXX The poem I chose to analyze is Sonnet CXXX (130) by William Shakespeare.

I say humorous because there is no use of over the top metaphors or allusions as he does not compare his love to a goddess nor compare her beauty to rare and beautiful objects found in nature.

Discuss genetic explanations for aggression. Early research concentrated on chromosomal abnormalities but no specific genotype has been associated with aggression. Genes determine how much testosterone a person’s body produces and how quickly it circulates around their body.

Explanation of Human Behavior The history of evolutionary psychology began with Charles Darwin‚ who proposed that humans have social instincts that evolved by natural selection. Darwin ’s work inspired later psychologists such as William James and Sigmund Freud but for most of the 20th century psychologists focused more on behaviorism and proximate explanations for human behavior.

Evolutionary explanations of aggression Evolutionary psychologists argue that reproductive challenges faced by our ancestors can explain the aggressive behaviour seen in people today.

This can explain why male jealousy is often cited as a cause of domestic violence. In many countries it is seen as acceptable to murder an adulterous wife or her lover e.g. among the Nuer
