1) not always people will set goals for themselves and try hard or not try at all through cheating or being honest. It all depends on the person that really wants to acommplish their goal. When you do something for someone you can either get or not get something in return and you doing what the person wants it helps yourself out knowing you can do things.
2) it all depends on the person some are nice and some are bad and not care for many people maybe certain ones. It also depends on how they were raised and if they were raised good then they might do a lot for any person. those that weren't raised well then they probably don't care for anyone on those in their everyday life. yet they still help someone. its life that tells if they would help anyone for anything.

I agree with your quote because that is really true about human nature. We are supposed to act like this and be who we really are...a bunch of slightly violent humans. These past few years our country got a bit more violent and this shows proof that we are like savages sometimes.

Though I believe human nature remains remains the same a majority of the time, I agree that different situations can sometimes affect our human nature. However, in important cases, I still feel that human nature does not change because we retain the qualities we possess no matter the circumstance.

I believe that your response to this prompt was put together decently. I agree with what you are trying to say here, but I also believe that you must provide more evidence or a background story at least to help support your claim.

I agree on #2 on how they're some people choose people who they want to be. Maybe it is how they want to be or how they want to act in life.

It doesn't always depend on how they are raised or if they are nice and bad, because sometimes, they may have a change of view about something and their nature might change.

1. The aspects of human nature that do not change are the moral values of people. A person’s conscience is something that does not change in any circumstance or situation. Cruelty, jealousy, greed, manipulation, and anger are also aspects of human nature that do not change regardless of the issues at hand.

2. Human nature remains the same because certain qualities of a person do not change despite the problems he or she may face. The moral sense and aspects that remains in a person is unyielding because such attributes are an obstinate part of a one’s character. The guilt that is brought upon a person shows how nothing can change the moral beliefs of a person.

Andrew L. , Period 5

Human morals are generally established set of principles one follows as they grow into adulthood. I agree that you state that human nature does not change especially the values that they cherish and follow in regards to what they know deep down as good or bad.

Alex D
3/13/2013 03:23:31 pm

I agree that the aspects of human nature do not change because they are moral values. The good always prevails and keeps on being passed down from generation to generation where everybody uses those aspects of human nature instead of the bad ones.
I also agree that people's nature and qualities of tha tperson can change from what he or she faces.

1) Aspects that never change is that humans are violent and we can always not get along with each other. That is why there are a lot of discontent today. Humans are naturally violent because if you look back even during the ancient times we would fight just for our survival.
2) It remains the same because it is part of our nature. Also that is how we are supposed to be. It would be very tough for us to get along with everybody in the world. Someone would not like this certain person and would hurt them physically or mentally.

Aron I. Period 5
3/13/2013 12:29:35 pm

I agree with your response to the questions. It makes sense that people do not get along all the time which is why people hurt each other whether it is mentally, emotionally, or physically.

1.) The type of aspect the most people would not change is the amount of hard work. They don't try hard to do well in school. Since people would not try to take one step ahead of themselves and really try to accomplish something. they would never think hard enough of how life could be hard and it takes a lot of hard work to really accomplish a goal.

2.) It all depends on how do the really want accomplish something or do something good or everything to them is just trash and boring, for example school. One part of the aspect is maybe of how they were born, the type of genes or DNA they get from their parents, or just maybe that how just want to be for the rest of their life. Also, maybe they need motivation from someone or themselves, since the pressure and the situation they are dealing with.

AlexD.
3/13/2013 03:26:48 pm

I disagree with your first statement. Hard work is indeed good and brings the best out of people but some are lazy and won't like to do all the work so that might change and people won't work as hard as others.
I agree that how much somebody wants to accomplish something can motivate them or change their aspect on nature and make them strive to accomplish it.

1. Human nature in my opinion can never change. Aspects such as defending one self or other people, like what Ceasar had done which is why they wanted crown him as the king. There is also that nature for us to get jealous easily like Cassius, who got jealous of Ceasar's rising power which led him to start the conspiracy. Our needs such as food, shelter and clothing are other types of nature that we humans need.

2. Human nature remains the same because it is just how things are. Our daily needs are part of our human nature. We can never change that because we need them in order to survive. There are a lot more and it is always going to remain the same because it has been that way for so long now..

Eric Lo, Period 5

1. One nature that doesn't change is how a person views the world. That nature is something that is changed very little but will show a lot. No one can make their nature they just have it and it is something that they have to live with.

2. Human nature remains the same because no one can really change unless they have a life changing moment or a near death tragedy that shocks their very core and shows who they really are.

justin tang
3/13/2013 12:20:33 pm

I don't really agree with you first answer, because I do think that people's views can change. At first you could hate the world and not enjoy life, but if someone/something changes your mind, then youll fall in love with it. But i do agree with your second statement saying that humans don't really change.

An H., Period 5

1) Some parts of human nature that does not change include envious and laziness. Most people are envious of other people in regards of many things; they can be either their grades, their performances on stuff, or even stuff that other people have, but they don't. Procrastination, which people do very often, is a form of laziness that often happens. Laziness could also include the unwilling-ness of waking up early in the morning even cleaning your room.

2) Human nature remains the same mostly because it is a part of us. Whether if it is good or bad, human nature is a part that make us human and it stays with us forever. Depending on the person, they may seem good in the first place, or bad, but they all have human nature in them, it just depends on the situation and how they are feeling that shows their nature.

Aron I. Peroid 5

1) An aspect of human nature that changes is innocence. Innocence can become corrupt with the guilt of committing sins. Guilt can change human nature for either good or bad, but the outcome shows that the human nature had gone through a change or two. In that way human nature can change as it progresses through time.

2) Human nature does not change because a big part of human nature is to be satisfied. This desire to be satisfied is basically insatiable. Humans will never be satisfied, and that is why there is technology and why technology advances over time.

Andy T. Period 5
3/13/2013 01:22:51 pm

I agree with that statement where the innocence changes. Through experience it may become diluted. The evils of us as humans can and always will have a chance to affect our innocence as human beings it is natural for that to happen.

Wei L. Period 5
3/13/2013 04:12:29 pm

I agree with your explanation of guilt. I also believe that some people will get affected by guilt will result in a slight change in human nature. Although guilt can change someone's nature, it doesn't affect a lot of people depending on the importance to them.

Jeffery W., Period 5

1. The aspect of human nature that does not change is the nature to always want to survive. People will always do what is needed in order to keep them and the people close to them alive. People want to have a good society in order to keep order of everything and maintain everyone's lives are safe and secure.
2. Human nature remains the same because if it were to change, then everyone would be fighting for survival and everywhere would be chaotic.

Eric Lo, Period 5
3/13/2013 01:37:01 pm

I disagree with the first but agree with the seconds i feel that people wouldn't change what is needed to be. Or shouldn't do what doesn't need to be done. People act on sense of whether that is good or not and if it would be the right choice to do that action.

Dinh T, Period 5

1) I believe that laziness and greed are things that do not really change in human nature. Many people in our world are lazy because honestly, I think everyone wants to live a luxurious life without doing anything. The only way to get rid of laziness is to make yourself work hard. Greed is also something that doesn’t change because some people always want more things in their lives.

2) Human nature does not always remain the same. It all depends on what kind of lifestyle you had. It can change if something eventful happened to you such as family matters. Sometimes, human nature remains the same for some people because I think they believe that what they are doing is okay.

Aren Lim Period 5

1. The general thought of being a human does not change. The composition of our physical nature does not change, but the only thing that changes is our brains. Our thinking process is what sets others apart. Ideas and thoughts are glorified when it speaks to others, and or relates to others. Our minds are constantly being influenced by our surroundings, and is constantly adapting.

2. Human nature remains the same because that is what we are. We can't just wake up one day and choose to be a banana. We have standards to look up to, and forfill them everyday.

Alvin O. per. 5

I believe that there are many aspects of human nature that does not change at all. It has shown from the very beginning on human history. Most obviously is the tendency to live together with a group and provide yourself with the necessary things that will help sustain your life. Others will include many personality traits.
Human aspects, such as personality traits or routines and activities generally stay the same because ever since at the beginning of human history, humans had already developed a certain kind of set instinct for themselves that will determine their behaviors, how they interact, and they go on about living in the world.

Lika M. Period 5

I agree with your claim that the aspect that humans have the tendency to live with others and provide themselves to survive. Surviving is what everyone strives for. Humans also have personalities because of the behaviors that they feel in certain topics.

Dinh T, Period 5
3/11/2013 01:42:02 pm

I also believe that there are many human aspects that has yet to change. Although some of them has changed overtime, there are still many that has yet to change.

James R., Period 5
3/13/2013 11:56:23 pm

I agree with your idea that humans develop a instinct for themselves which will determine their behaviors. Humans develop a personality for themselves when they're being raised. Also, the genes that they're born with determines the way someone is going to behave in which no one else can.

1)It is human nature to lie, cheat, and steal. It won't change no matter the culture or time. You are so use to doing it that it will be hard to change it.
2)Human never change. It is in some people's nature to be kind and giving. Other peoples' nature is to be ruthless and hateful.Our nature is who we are as individuals not who we are as a collective. We have lie, love, hate , steal and more. No human can ever be perfect and that can never change because that is the nature of us.

1. Aspects in human nature, such as the fact that people have beliefs and their own opinion, do not change. Humans have beliefs that they follow whether it is moral or not. In addition, humans have the nature of having their own opinion. Their opinions and beliefs cause the actions that they take and abide by.
2. Human nature remains the same because everyone has a mind that do not think the same as everyone else. No two people are exactly the same; thus, they will definitely have different thoughts and beliefs on subjects.

Dawson W., Period 5
3/13/2013 04:49:36 pm

I agree people do have their own opinion on their beliefs and everything else cause their action brings them toward that and the way they act too. The action that they do to follow their own beliefs or whatever they are doing. Human mind do stay the same cause society had changed such little in the past few years that human doesn't need to change. They are able to stay the same and not have to change anything about them self.

1) One human aspect that does not change i believe is our habits. If someone is used to doing a certain way, he/she would probably continue doing that. If students procrastinate most of their homework and projects, they will probably do that most of their life.
2) Human nature does not change because as humans, we do not like change. We like being consistent and stable rather than changing a lot. It's a lot of work to rearrange your natures because you've been doing something for such a long period of time... Who would want to change?

I agree how that one of the aspects of human nature that does not change is our habits. Our habits makes us get used to what we do daily, and before we know it, it becomes a part of the person we are. Habits can affect our personality and attitude, and it may even influence others so it becomes their habit, too.

Dominic Garcia per.5

1)the aspect of human nature that do not chnage is when people that stay with those that get manipulated and get other people support and can do either good or bad.
2) human nature stays the same cause of how we are and how people are and how they are taught to be either learned by themselves or get taught what is wrong and what is right

Andy T. Period 5

1. Human nature is very complex, but I believe that the main thing that will never change or is extremely hard to change is our will. Our wills are what we live for. Therefore they almost will never change in our lives.

2. Human nature stays the same depending on what it is. For example if it was something like our wills, we want to see to it and wont ever give up on our wills.

Zerlinda L. (Per.5)
3/13/2013 02:14:18 pm

1. Some aspects of human nature that did not change is how we humans always have to judge others, no matter what. Some people also feel like there's always a competition in the world, so they set their goals out to conquer them. Various aspects of human nature are both good and bad, and it either benefits or destroys us humans in the future. It really depends on how people think of life and what they can do in that short period of time. Humans only have one life, but we all have different aspects depending on how we were brought to the world.

2. Human nature remains the same because, well, we're humans. We humans make mistakes numerous times, and we'll keep making mistakes because that's what we do. We make mistakes, and we learn from them. Some don't bother fixing their problems and turn their mistakes into habits.Once it becomes a problem, it'll take a long-term process to get back on the right track. It's a long run, but like I mentioned before, we learn from our mistakes. Human nature is just what we do as humans, but I think that making mistakes is something that'll never change.

Andrew L. , Period 5

1. Among human nature, the one aspect that retains its respectful position is its moral values. Many are accustomed to following what they consider as true and real, listen to their conscience, and based upon their established set of principles they do accordingly. Additionally, personality will not change along with survival of the fittest.
2. Human nature usually stays the same in which where one sets their mind to it, it is usually followed upon. It is their personality that they have, their character and true image to who they really are doing what they really do. Along as they follow what they seem to be morally correct.

1. To me, I think that there are a lot of aspects in human nature that hasn't and won't ever change. My belief has shown from the beginning of time. It's obvious that people are encouraged and know that to live together with a group will provide yourself with the necessities that will keep you alive. Others aspects may change wit h individuals and how everybodys character is, everybody is different.
2. Human aspects, such as character, genes, traits, or routines and superstitious activities generally are made to stay that way because ever since the beginning of time, humans had already made a certain set of rules and instincts and reactions for themselves that will show their behaviors, reactions, and then to go on about living and learning about the world.

Wei L. Period 5

1) I think that lying and dishonesty will never change in human nature. Telling a lie for the first time will just make you feel more comfortable to tell more later. I believe that is a terrible habit that never change in the human mind.

2)The human nature remains the same because of society. People generally do what other people do and so the same nature is carried on.

Dawson W., Period 5
3/13/2013 04:35:36 pm

1. To me i personally think that one thing that doesn't change in humans in the way they look at people. Everyone being judge mental about the person they see and if its someone new they don't know or even someone you known for a long time.
2. Human nature tends to stay the same cause human tends to change little. The new things that human tend to create the human just adapts to it and not change at all from what they do in life or everyday. Human nature probally hasn't changed in the last couple of year.

James R., Period 5
3/13/2013 11:50:37 pm

8. The aspects of human that does not change is that we are always very selfish. According the many early philosophers, humans are indeed to be born with selfishness and evilness. No matter how hard we try to be nice and generous, we will still be thinking for ourselves in the end.

9. Human nature generally stays the same overtime because we develop all of our character and traits when we are young. Overtime, its hard for us to make changes to ourselves. Another reason that human nature remains is because we are born with genes that sticks on to us for the rest of the life. It makes behave in a way in which no one else can.
