I don't know if it's just me but I've now been noticing within our society people are confusing nature and culture, many believe 'I was born gay' or 'I was born poor'. Many people think because of their environment or their situation it becomes apart of them which is true 'culture' but people are trying to erase the line between biology and culture. So it looks like there is some type of gene that makes you the way you are. For example, Lady Gaga's song 'Born This Way' you can say it's just a song, there is no harm to it but there is. It confuses people to believe that there is a 'gay gene' out there but there is no such thing.
We talked about this in class, there is no 'smart gene' even if both of your parents are rocket scientist doesn't mean you will be one too. There is a possibility you can do something related to science or not at all, it depends on the environment you've grown up in.
