On Manipulation of Our Nature (Intro)

We, humans or people, born in to different environments, habitats, societies and cultures and adapt to them. It's all about adaptation when it comes to the basics of life and survival. We adapt, and we adapt faster any creature on earth. We can now survive and live almost anywhere on the face of this planet. Regardless of the climate or other enviromental means.

But, an Eskimo in Kalahari Desert sure will have a hard time to adapt there, and even may not survive. Bushmen on the other hand, residents of the desert Kalahari is living and had lived for thousands of years. Both the Eskimo and the Bushmen have adapted to the extremes and survived successfuly.

However, if we are to investigate the social aspects of adaptation the process is much more different. First of all it's much more faster, if an Eskimo couple moves to New York, they'll sure have a hard time adapting such culture and social environment. But their child on the other hand, adapts quickly and becomes a New Yorker in no time. And we don't have to give extreme examples like Eskimo's. The Chineese minority in U.S is still a good example, so are the adaptation problems of the teenagers in high-school etc.

So we can say that we adapt to the conditions we were borned in to, accept them as the reality and move on. That is how easy it is for us to change and take shape, from birth.

What kind of environment we born into? And what does all this have to do with Manipulation of Our Nature?
