Gene DebateGenes are units of hereditary information that tell the organism to produce a particular chemical or display a particular characteristic, for example blue eyes or brown hair. In this debate about genes, it is said that genes not only exhibit these physical characteristics, but also determine our social behavior (as opposed to who we are because of how we are socialized). In the past, biological determinism has been used to justify racism. ,sexism and class inequalities. However, recent assertions of biological determinism seem more remarkable and more scientific. The best known version of genetic determinism is sociobiology, advocated by EO Wilson. The theory is: “Social behavior is biologically determined by our genes, which in turn are the product of millions of years of evolution. » Tiger, Fox and Wilson all state that it is natural for men to be more aggressive and dominant than women. Although Wilson admits that men and women can choose to behave differently than he says are natural, he says that if they do, they will cause different behaviors. societal problems because they go against what they are naturally supposed to do. Therefore, this implies that there is no point in fighting for women's equality because men and women are born different and unequal. Subsequently, consider this: if white people are on average more intelligent than black people (due to supposedly genetically inherited differences in intelligence), it is impossible to achieve equality across ethnicities. groups. If crime were primarily the result of individuals carrying "crime genes", it would be pointless to try to reduce the level of crime by claiming that... middle of article ......would be favored by sociobiologists. Humans develop as creators of social, cooperative, and language-using tools. It is unreasonable to assume that humans could be biologically or genetically determined by competitiveness and inequality. The conclusion is that social behavior and social structures are much more than genetic determinism, because the evidence against genetic determinism is enormous. What appears to be purely biological, like disease, even has a social factor behind it (e.g. pollution). There may be other reasons why ideas of biological determinism persist. According to Rose, Lewontin, Kamin, and Gould, biological determinism lets the government take over when social problems arise because it might place blame on the individual rather than how society is supposed to be organized..
