Nature vs Nurture Clearly you’re a very intelligent person. But did you get your intelligence from your genes (nature) or from the environment in which you were brought up (nurture)? There are records that this subject was discussed as early as the 13th century in France and Shakespeare discussed the issue in his play “The Tempest”. Even today, the nature-nurture debate rages on – and no one seems to be able to agree on the answer. Listen to a debate on the subject and try to make up your own mind.

TEST YOUR PERSONALITY FROM WHAT MAKES ME ME? BY ROBERT WINSTON

Psychologists use the ”Big Five” factors when they try to describe human personality: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Take the first letter of each of these factors and you get the acronym OCEAN. Every person needs some personality traits from each factor.

SO, WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY? • Take the test and you will find out what sort of personality you have. You may answer YES, NO, or NOT SURE. The important thing is to try and be as honest as possible.

• Count 0, 1 or 2 points for each question. (Look at the instructions in the score chart below.)

• Add your scores for each factor. 0–3 points means LOW, 4 – 8 points means MEDIUM and more than 9 points means HIGH.

Do not take the test too seriously! Finding out someone’s true personality has to be done by psychologists and requires more sophisticated questionnaires than the one here!

1. Do you like doing things that are a little dangerous?

8. Do you enjoy talking to new people and getting to know them?

2. If you don’t like someone, are you afraid to tell them what you think of them?

9. Do you usually do your homework on time?

3. Do you like having long conversations on the phone?

4. Are you good at remembering people’s birthdays?

5. Would you rather hang around with a large gang than just one or two friends?

6. Are you very sensitive to criticism?

7. Do you get bored of hobbies easily and keep trying new ones?

10. Do you feel sorry for people who are unhappy?

11. Are you good at staying calm under pressure?

12. If someone upsets you, do you usually forgive and forget?

13. Would other people describe you as shy?

14. Do you usually plan what you are going to do at the weekend?

2012-06-12 13.42

15. Do you keep your room neat and tidy?

16. Is it rare for you to get into arguments with people?

17. Do you like exploring strange places?

23. Do you often get angry about quite small things?

24. Does your taste in music and fashion keep changing?

18. Are you scared of what other people might think about you?

25. Do you find it easy to trust people?

19. Do you ever offer to help with the washing-up?

27. If you disagree with someone, would you keep quiet about it?

20. Would you consider yourself a bit of a rebel?

28. Would you describe yourself as carefree and relaxed?

21. Do you usually do things to the best of your abilities?

29. Do you finish most books you start reading?

22. Would you like to try bungee jumping, skydiving or white-water rafting?

30. Are you someone who gets anxious easily?

26. Do you like artistic or creative hobbies?

Born This Way

BY LADY GAGA

”I didn’t fit in, and I felt like a freak,” Lady Gaga says of her years in high school. Later, she was admitted to the New York University School of the Arts. Here she worked hard at jazz, both as a pianist and a singer & songwriter. And it was not long before she became a celebrity – Rolling Stone named Lady Gaga the ”Queen of Pop” in 2011, when she started her non-profit organisation, the ”Born This Way Foundation”, aiming at issues like gaining self-confidence, anti-bullying and career development. Consequently, she fights for the gay community and human rights overall.

Lady Gaga is influenced by David Bowie, Michael Jackson and, of course, Madonna. Her song ”Born This Way” summarizes her views on identity.

Lady Gaga speaks at a rally in Portland, Maine, USA. In 2011 she launched the Born This Way Foundation to support programs dealing with youth empowerment and help people facing bullying and abandonment.

A crucial scene from the film The Man Who Never Was.

Operation Mincemeat This is the incredible story of two men in the Second World War. Glyndwr Michael, an alcoholic, homeless man from Wales, took his own life by eating rat poison. Major William Martin, an ofďŹ cer in the British Royal Marines, who had recently bought an expensive engagement ring for his beautiful girlfriend, was travelling to North Africa with some important documents but died on the journey.

What do these men, apparently so different, have in common?

They were, in fact, the same man!

n 1943, the Allies had won the battles of North Africa and were preparing to attack the Nazi forces in Europe. But where could they attack? They needed somewhere not too far away – somewhere with good beaches where they could land easily. The obvious place was Sicily, a fact that did not escape the Germans who were ready for the Allied attack. How could the Allies trick the Nazis into thinking that the attack would take place somewhere else? This was the task that faced a small team in the British Secret Service led by a man called Ewen Montagu – a team that included Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, a beautiful secretary and a transvestite!

The team finally came up with a plan – Operation Mincemeat.

They took the body of Glyndwr Michael and kept it on ice so that it wouldn’t decompose until they were ready. In the meantime they started preparing a totally new identity for the dead man. He was given the name Major William Martin, and together with his new clothes, he was given a letter from his father, some old bus tickets and two love letters from his fiancée, Pam. They even selected special underwear that an officer would wear!

Most importantly, he was given “secret” documents about the Allied plans for the invasion of Europe. These plans stated that the Allies were planning to invade Greece, rather than Sicily. The body

of “William Martin” was then taken in a submarine to the Spanish coast where, on the 30th of April 1943, his body was left floating about 2 km from the coast.

Later that day “William Martin” was found by a sardine fisherman who brought the body to the shore. Although Spain was officially neutral during the war, there were many Nazi agents working in the area. Before the body was handed over to the British authorities, the Germans made copies of the documents that Martin was carrying and these quickly found their way to Adolf Hitler in Berlin.

Benito Mussolini, the fascist leader of Italy, was sure that the Allies would try to invade through Sicily, but Hitler, with the ‘‘evidence” from Major William Martin, convinced him that Greece was the target. As a result the Germans moved large numbers of their forces from Sicily to Greece so that when the Allies invaded Sicily on the 9th of July 1943, they met far less resistance than would otherwise have been the case.

So Glyndwr Michael, the illiterate, homeless alcoholic, ended up playing a crucial role in the events of the Second World War. Although this story sounds like something from Hollywood, it is, in fact, completely true.

Det här är en otrolig historia från andra världskriget om två män som egentligen var samme man. En av dem var en man från Wales som hade tagit sitt eget liv genom att äta råttgift. Den andre, en officer, dog under en resa. Vad hade de gemensamt? Ingenting. Officeren hade aldrig existerat i verkligen – han fick falsk identitet av den brittiska underrättelsetjänsten.

nside almost every cell of your body you have your own DNA, the genetic code which makes you YOU. Forensic scientists can now take your ‘DNA fingerprint’ and the chance of anyone else having the same DNA fingerprint is incredibly small. DNA fingerprints can be used to show that someone was present at the scene of a crime (if there is a spot of blood or a hair, for example) and they can also be used in paternity cases. Sometimes a woman claims that a man is the father of her baby, but he might deny this. Now it is possible to make a DNA fingerprint of the baby and the father. It is then not difficult to tell if this man really is the father – or not.

Your fingerprints

I

n 14th century Persia (now Iran) doctors noticed that people had different fingerprints and they were sometimes used in special documents. Although many people noticed that people had different fingerprints, it wasn’t until 1891 that a policeman in Argentina started to collect fingerprints for the identification of criminals. In 1892 he caught his first criminal – a murderer who

left her bloody fingerprints at the scene of the crime.

In all the time that fingerprints have been collected, no two people have been found to have the same fingerprints. The various lines on your fingers and thumb remain the same throughout your life and are completely unique to you. Studying fingerprints is a real science and to become a fingerprint expert takes years of training.

Even the exam to be a fingerprint examiner takes six hours – and less than 50 per cent of people pass.

Smart criminals know that they mustn’t leave fingerprints at the scene of a crime, so they wear gloves, but it is also possible to identify people from their shoe print and even an ear print (when a criminal puts his (or her) ear to a window to hear if anyone is inside).

hat colour are your eyes? The coloured part of your eye is called the iris.

If you look closely at your iris in a mirror (or the iris of a friend sitting nearby) you will notice that the iris, which surrounds the hole called the pupil, is made up of a number of stripes and gaps. It is possible to scan the iris, taking measurements of the various gaps and stripes, giving you your unique iris scan.

At some airports you will be asked to look at a camera. This will scan your iris to make sure you are who you say you are. At Heathrow Airport in London they will scan your iris and take your fingerprints.

They say that they destroy the data after 24 hours, but many people are not comfortable with the process. They say it makes them feel like a criminal.

hen you talk to a friend on the phone, you know who is speaking – not only because you have caller ID on your phone, but also because of their voice. We all have a distinctive voice pattern and this can be analysed with a voiceprint analyser. While many people say it is possible to identify people by their voice, some companies use voiceprint analysis to detect when someone is lying. Does your voice change at all when you’re lying?

Perhaps you don’t notice anything, but is it possible that a voiceprint analyser can?

CONTENT Read the statements and decide whether they are Right (R) or Wrong (W).

1. The possibility of someone having the same DNA as you exists but is highly unlikely.

2. A DNA fingerprint can tell if a man is the biological father of a child.

3. As early as the 1870s, fingerprints were used to identify people.

4. There are very few people around the world who share exactly the same fingerprints.

5. The pupil in your eye is made up of a number of stripes and gaps.

6. Scanning somebody’s iris is an unsure method of identifying someone.

7. We all have a distinctive voice pattern by which we can be identified.

DISCUSSION

1. Find some examples from the text of different methods that are used to identify someone. Can you think of a book, a film – or an example from real life where a problem was solved by using one of the methods?

2. Forensic science deals with the scientific methods used in out who is guilty of a crime. What films – or TV series – have main characters working within this field?

3. It is mentioned in the text that some people feel uncomfortable if their irises are scanned at an airport. How do you feel about this?

Would you mind having your eyes scanned? Why – or why not?

4. Even without caller ID on your phone you may recognize the voices of most friends and relatives. Are there any voices of people you know that you find hard to tell the difference between?

5. Think of some famous film stars, musicians or politicians whose voices you are 100 percent sure to recognize.

6. a) Do you think it is really possible to detect when someone is lying only by analysing his/her voice? b) Does your voice change when you lie?
