"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none" - Shakespeare

Many psychologists over the years have discussed whether evil is a trait which people are born with, or a trait which is acquired from the environment. This issue is still vague even today, as there is no scientific consensus about the source of evil. I think that evil is something that we acquire from our environment.

The first explanation is biological. Our body consists of milliards of DNA molecules. The Gene is a part of one DNA molecule. The Genes contain our genetic code, which is actually a code that determines our phenotypic traits: our eyes' color, height and more. Evil is a trait which isn't phenotypic, it is a trait which is associated with personality. So scientifically, it's impossible to claim that people are born evil, while there is no gene which contains information about our personality.

The second explanation is social. A child is like clay in the potter's hand, in this case the parents' hands. With close parental supervision, the child will probably grow to know what behavior is considered as evil, so he won't behave in this way. But without parental guidance , the child will grow without knowing what's wrong and what's right. He will just do whatever he wants, being evil sometimes without even knowing. Add negative peer pressure when the child turns into a teen, and you've got the perfect formula for being evil.

It's really interesting that there is still no proven accepted explanation to evil, which is unfortunately, such a common phenomenon. I hope that the reasons for evil will be found(ww.) soon, so our world will become a little happier place to live in. Perfect!

Parents - children relationships

Parents - children relationships are complicated at any age. Whether in young kids(phr.- a young age), or especially  in their adolescence, there are always struggles because of the unavoidable generation gap. A lot of researches have been done in order to explain what the reasons for the complicated relationships are, and if there are solutions for them.

I think that most of the struggles happen in the stage of adolescence, and are connected to the teens' desire for independence. At this age, teens' discovery of what life has to offer peaks, and precisely at this age two parents come and try to limit them. It leads to difficult disagreements between two adults who can't understand that their little babies aren't babies anymore, and angry, impatient teens, who want to do what they want the second they want it.

My relationship with my parents has known ups and downs. Until I was six years old I was the only child. In such a status I got almost everything I wanted. When my adolescence started, the relationship has become worse. Perhaps it was me who became intolerable, perhaps it was my parents' fault, but we couldn't stop fighting about every little thing. As time passed I've learnt what I can(gr.-could) say and what not. I think that they (have) also learnt it and they are still in a process of understanding my needs as a young adult coming into being. Our relationship is still not perfect, but I know and I've always known, that I have two parents, who I can rely on.

So struggles or not, at the end of the day, parents and teens are one family. So, we can sit and waste our time looking for solutions while the truth is that these relationships are so problematic, that they don't really have ones(phr. - not clear what you mean). Instead, all the(ww.-the whole) family can be united around the understanding that this is a temporary period. And until its end, all is needed(phr.)  is one thing - patience.

Better.

Individual Sports

Sport is all forms of competitive physical activity. Hundreds of sports exist, from those requiring only one participant, through to those with much more participants. Some people prefer team sports, while others prefer individual sports. I tend to agree with those who like the latter.

Competing alone means that everything is up to you, and only you. Unnecessary complications which are connected to other team members? Nonstop worries about your team members' readiness for the competitions? And the worst – losing because of your team members? Not in this case. Playing alone gives you total independence. You are the only one who makes the decisions, the only one who is responsible for doing everything to win. You have a better chance to maximize your talent and show it to the world.
       

All these advantages don't mean that everything is so perfect. Sometimes, it's scary to think that if you lose, you are the only responsible. Representing your country all alone is a very heavy load, and not all the people have the strong shoulders which are necessary to carry it. A win is the happiest thing, but a loss means that the only one who will have to absorb the media's bites(ww.) is just you. Sportsmen or sportswomen, who feel the same pressure as you, can cheer up each other and calm each other – something which is so important, (and) that you miss when you compete alone.

In conclusion, although there are disadvantages to individual sports, I think that it is still more suitable for me than team sports. To deal with the pressure, to win and to know that all the credit is yours… there's no price to that feeling.  
Excellent!
