-This case shows that the power of biology is really strong. David’s surgery was suppose to turn him into a girl, but even with the hormones and everything he went through didn’t actually change who he really was. His parents tried to put off that he was actually a girl. But David knew something wasn’t right. His psychiatrist insisted his parents tell him the truth of what actually happened (Colapinto, 2004). His parents assigned roles, they didn’t let biology really happen here. At a young age, David ripped her dress off and pretty much bullied his brother for the toys that were car and guns because he didn’t want to play with them (Colapinto, 2004). Genetics themselves played a huge role in the case, it most likely is why he took his own life. The mother of the boys and herself all suffered some depression, so they inherited them from her (Colapinto, 2004). Both of David’s mutilations of his parents guilt and had to do with his mental health issues (Colapinto, 2004).
2.) Does it support or refute Dr. Money’s (and others’) apparent view that children are a “blank slate,” and that they can successfully transition from one sex to another if it is done early enough in childhood?
This article refutes Dr. Money’s view of children being blank slates. Money tried to prove that that nurture trumps nature, but this case failed to show that. I feel like he really only continued to publish updates for publicity because he stopped writing updates once David found out what happened and how he wanted to be a boy and then he changed back into being a man. I just don’t understand the thought process because he might have had a sex change but he still didn’t have ovaries or anything so he wasn’t fully going to be a girl. This case refutes Money’s view because David wasn’t happy with who he was, he knew this wasn’t who he truly wanted to be. He changed back into being a boy by having a double mastectomy, multiple operations, including plastic surgery, and testosterone (Colapinto, 2004). His parents tried to parent him into being a girl, but at the age of two he showed signed of frustration just from toys (Colapinto, 2004). He knew at a young age something wasn’t right so nurturing in this case truly failed. This was nature all the way.
3.) Given what happened to David Reimer, what would be your opinion now on whether “sex reassignment surgery” should be done on infants or young children who are born with an intersex condition? Support your argument with empirical research findings.
In my undergrad classes I remember that we discussed this story a few times. In my opinion, I don’t think gender reassignment surgery is the right idea. I personally think the child is too young and it’s just going to affect the child in the long run and even sometimes for the rest of their lives. If the parents’ base their child’s gender based off of chromosomes and they turn into the different that was given to them, then they are on hormone therapy the rest of their lives. The surgery is just a bad idea because there is a high percentage of children changing back to another gender (Human Rights Watch, 2017). Once they get changed back into the regular gender they were suppose to be, there are more issues than before with scar tissues and failure of nerve growth coming back (Human Rights Watch, 2017). These babies are not able to make their own decisions, and I think they should make a decision like this when they are older for it and when they understand what all happens because these procedures are non- reversible (Human Rights Watch, 2017). Overall, it’s just a bad idea to chose for your child. Notice how I spoke about the child, David, the entire time as a he and not once did I say he was a girl because genetically he wasn’t and he wasn’t able to choose what he wanted to be.

1.) What does this case tell you about the power of biology?
In my opinion, this case presents greater understanding in the concept of nature vs nurture. I have always felt both are important in the development of a human, and this case supports the idea even more. The family felt their upbringing of the child, along with his surgeries, would suffice as a way for him to develop “normally” as a girl. But as David said when he found out the true story, everything began to make since, especially since he expressed how different he felt early on in his life. Many children begin to identify with a certain gender, and they allow this identification to guide them in their gender-related behaviors and choices. This was apparent in David’s case as well, as he was not interested in playing with dolls. I think overall, the lack of information David was provided early on in life about his biology along with his actual biological makeup speaks volumes as to how his development proceeded and sadly came to an end.
2.) Does it support or refute Dr. Money’s (and others’) apparent view that children are a “blank slate,” and that they can successfully transition from one sex to another if it is done early enough in childhood?
I believe this case serves as a way to refute Dr. Money’s original view on children being a blank slate. I personally do not agree with that statement, as several gender researchers have stated the variety of “nature and nurture” aspects that go into one developing their gender. I also think my last statement is one of the utmost importance, in that I believe the child develops their own gender. This occurs in a biological essence, along with social influences, environmental factors and behavior. Vise versa, the child’s gender can influence their own behavior, thinking and social relationships.
3.) Given what happened to David Reimer, what would be your opinion now on whether “sex reassignment surgery” should be done on infants or young children who are born with an intersex condition? Support your argument with empirical research findings.
In situations similar to David’s, the infant has no control over their decisions, leaving the parents in full control as to how their child will be identified and raised regarding gender. This is a very powerful decision to make, as it is one that will affect the entirety of someone’s life. Research has shown that sex reassignment surgery has reduced the psychological morbidity for some individuals, while increasing it for others (Simonsen, Giraldi, Kristensen & Hald, 2016). It seems parents are left with taking a chance that the surgery will provide positive long term affects on their child. It seems more fitting for a child born with an intersex condition to be in a state where they can express who they are and who they want to become before performing surgery. I think the risk is too great to make the decision as an infant in hopes that it was the right one for the child. As the case for David Reimer shows, nurture did not overpower the presence of nature.

Question 1: Compare and contrast Platoâ€
s theory of Forms with metaphysical beliefs of Taoism. Be sure to summarize Platoâ€s various levels of reality and Taoismâ€s Yin-Yang conception. Youâ€d do well to inform the general reader about what the Forms are and the relationship of Yin-Yang have in philosophical Taoism. Devote at least 1 page to Platoâ€s theory of Forms and at least 1 page to Taoismâ€s metaphysical tenets. Be sure to document any external sources used. Then, in a second part to this question, you should try and offer a reason why you think one version of reality is true than the other
Question 2: In the reading with Aristotleâ€s Nicomachean Ethics detail the reasons why pleasure is not the highest good, but why it is the case that virtue leads to happiness. Recall that a virtue is defined for Aristotle as a reliable disposition displayed over time. Youâ€d do well to pay attention to some of the videos on Aristotle on virtue as well as what is meant by excess and deficiency in relationship to virtue as well as my lectures on virtue in your personal notes
Question 3: Compare and contrast the major ethical tenets of Buddhism with the agapic conception of love in Christianity. What about them is different regarding salvation in Christianity and mindfulness in Buddhism? Your answer must include an explanation of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount we read in the Gospel of Matthew. You may include other Christian sources of insight if you wish.

WRITING PROJECT 9 (FINAL WRITING PROJECT)
PITCH DRAFT (70 POINTS)
INSTRUCTIONS:
It’s required a lot of work, but as a PR professional, you have finally done it — you have approval from your client, Radical Sports Unlimited, to move forward with the news release.
Now what?
You want to start researching reporters in Michigan as your first tier of reporters to pitch to. (Eventually, if this were a real project, you would likely go beyond Michigan, looking to regional and even national reporters, but for the purposes of this assignment, you will focus on Michigan.)
If you work at an agency, you will likely have access to a platform such as Cision or Meltwater. For now, since you don’t personally have access, you will do an internet search to come up with two reporters who work for Michigan media outlets to pitch to. Perhaps you will research who has previously covered the Bayshore race in Traverse City or the Detroit Free Press marathon. Or you may look at a sports reporter or a city news reporter. Whoever you choose, make sure you make the case for why you chose that person.
Below, please list the two names of reporters and why you chose them. Make sure that you confirm that they are still at the media outlet you think they are at — reporters move around quite a bit.
To recap, this is what you are filling out:
Reporter 1: _________________________________________________________________
Name: _____________________________________________________________________
Phone number or email: _______________________________________________________
Why did you choose this reporter? _______________________________________________
Reporter 2: _________________________________________________________________
Name: _____________________________________________________________________
Phone number or email: _______________________________________________________
Why did you choose this reporter? _______________________________________________
Email pitch
Finally, choose one of the reporters and write out a short email pitch to that reporter. Reflect on the most interesting part of Iron Cross and customize it to this reporter. How do you customize it? You will take why you chose that reporter and tie it to Iron Cross. For example, if this reporter had covered Bayshore, you would note that you are reaching out to this reporter because she or he had previously covered the Bayshore race, and you thought they might find Iron Cross interesting. If you had selected a city government reporter, you might note that as someone who covers the Traverse City mayor, this person may find the mayor’s support of this race to be newsworthy.
Write out your email pitch here. This is your first time ever writing out an email pitch, so do your best. As with everything you do in PR, this is a first draft and will be edited several times by you and others.
NB: We do not resell papers. Upon ordering, we do an original paper exclusively for you.
