SOCIOBIOLOGY: THE HUMAN ANIMAL 050210
Genes, not morality, tell us to save a stranger from drowning, or to avoid incest, because morality and justice are rooted in the genetic code. These are some of the findings of sociobiology, a new and highly controversial science, which holds that behavior is biologically determined. Proponents claim that political science, law, economics, psychology, psychiatry and anthropology will all become branches of sociobiology. Its opponents denounce it as reactionary political doc- trine disguised as science, because it could be used to justify social inequality, warfare, compulsory sterilization, even "master race" con- cepts. Sociobiology has inspired the most virulent controversy on campuses today.

SOMEONE SPECIAL 031074
Remembering what he was like as a boy, David recalls the crush he had on his teacher, Miss Simpson. "I thought she was the prettiest lady in the world." His fantasies come back to him--how he would prove himself hero in her eyes by winning races and saving her from a mugger. There were furtive phone calls and bicycle rides past her house, even a ruse about selling raffle tickets. As a nine-year-old, David dreams that Miss Simpson has fallen in love with him, but when he confesses his feelings to his best friend, he learns she is engaged. He "stops being good and starts causing trouble" to win Miss Simpson's attention. Pur- pose: to help children understand crushes are a normal part of growth and psychological development and help them understand their feelings.
