<u>Darwin would disagree with Tom. </u>Darwin recorded the major moments of his son’s development meticulously, often comparing them to those he had seen in apes. His notes were compiled in the book <em>The Descent of Man and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals</em> (1872). Darwin discovered that children often develop in ways that resemble the behavior of apes, in particular orangutans. Darwin concluded that these emotions and character traits (ex. jealousy, need for attention, curiosity, fear, empathy, etc.) were innate, and were shared among different species.
On the other hand, John Locke, in his <em>Essay on Human Understanding</em>, famously referred to the human mind as a <em>tabula rasa</em> (“a blank slate”), with human beings being born with no prejudice or character traits, and every component of our personality and our mind being built solely on the basis of experience. <u>Therefore, Locke would think Tom is right in his opinion</u>.
These two views are at the extreme ends of the <em>nature vs. nurture</em> debate. Nowadays, scientists are inclined to believe that some traits are innate to humans, and some others are learned through experience, though the specific traits in each category are still a matter of debate.
Answer: Containment was a foreign policy strategy followed by the United States during the Cold War. First laid out by George F. Kennan in 1947, the policy stated that communism needed to be contained and isolated, or else it would spread to neighboring countries. American foreign policy advisors believed that once one country fell to communism, each surrounding country would fall as well, like a row of dominoes. This view was known as the domino theory. Adherence to the policy of containment and domino theory ultimately led to U.S. intervention in Vietnam as well as in Central America and Grenada.
