This means that if an individual grew up with another set of parents and a different education routine, and was exposed to different media, they would turn out to be a completely different person.Īnother popular belief is known as the Noble Savage theory, which is often attributed to the eighteenth-century French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. So, any behavioral patterns that groups of people share, whether they’re of a particular race, ethnic group or gender, are all gained through experience. This theory emphasizes the role of social influences in forming the customs, thoughts and behaviors we exhibit. It suggests that there is no inherent human nature – that we’re born with a clean slate, so to speak, and everything that makes us who we are gets picked up along the way. The first is known as the Blank Slate theory, and it’s often attributed to seventeenth-century philosopher John Locke. These days, science is less influenced by religion, and we’ve ended up with three main theories regarding the nature of the human mind. Many of our older, popular theories about human nature came from religion: In Judeo-Christian tradition, for example, the mind is considered separate from our physical form and lives on after the body dies. The mysteries of the human mind have proved a fascinating subject for millennia, as we’ve striven to understand and anticipate people's behavior.

Song, dance, storytelling, drama, art likely began as religious or ritual expression. Did religion arise because the world seemed so beyond human control (weather, health of crops, availability of game)? Perhaps there were gods or spirits to appeal to or propitiate? Or did it arise equally from a sense of gratitude for the earth and seas that feed us, for a sky that dazzles us, for the life that flows through us and surrounds us. Religion’s impulses and manifestations are just as ambiguous. A bond can be used to tie someone up it can be a bond of kinship, or bond given as surety. The words bond and bind also have a variety of meanings and connotations. There is dispute about the derivation of the word, but some scholars believe it has the same root as the word ligament, ligare, to bind or tie, to reinforce the bonds between human and divine, or perhaps the bonds between believers.

That one-two-three punch confirms Rowell as one of the biggest names in so-called "literary YA," the term often applied to non-genre young adult writing that places a high value on style and craft. All of this means it's more difficult for a single author or series to dominate than it was just a few months ago - and yet that's exactly what Rowell has done. This Rowell triple take is especially notable in the wake of a recent restructuring of the Times's young adult list, which now separates paperbacks and hardcovers and splits children's books into "young adult" and "middle grade," and combines individual books in a series (like Veronica Roth's perennially popular Divergent series) under one heading. Her newest, Carry On, just debuted at the top of the list, followed, respectively, by 2013's Eleanor & Park and Fangirl, the latter of which inspired Carry On. 1, 4, and 5 on the Times's October 25 list of Young Adult Hardcovers.
