The Politics of Biological Determinism

Abstract: In 3 pages the author discusses biological determinism. "Biological determinism is the idea that a person is born with certain moral and intellectual qualities, which are inherited. For example, they site the way that Oliver Twist did not act as though he were an orphan. He acted as if he were middle class, because he was born middle class. They go into the theory that one's genes predispose him or her and how biological determinist theories have become an important element in both political and social struggles."
