The world of genetics is a fascinating one. Characterize genes but our daily life and are reflected in the shape as we look, as those who move and behave well.
In the movie Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is among others shown impressive as the genetics in a human acts, which are also influenced genes, and only by the action of environmental factors are partially activated or deactivated.
The speech is, in this context of so-called epigene although a predisposition, but emerge only by the corresponding environmental impact.
Let's look at an example here: It can be
that a man has a predisposition to violent Behavior has . This behavior also occurs to light but to our surprise we find that the predisposition is not solely responsible, but has this man-made as a child, violence.
Studies have now shown that very often but a genetic predisposition exists, but this only Zusammwirken with external influences and actually comes into play .
An excerpt from the following article explains in more detail. (There is even the whole very interesting)

Stefan is on trial. He has two young men beaten hospital. The charge is serious intentional injury. Stefan's lawyer tried to convince the judge that his client is only diminished responsibility. He shall submit a report, according to Stefan with a gene that can trigger antisocial behavior. And besides, he was abused as a child. Thus, the lawyer, Stefan bat behavior is deeply rooted in his psyche and he willfully not control. There
Such a gene is real. It is the so-called MAOA gene. By this gene, there are two main variants, known as High-Activity and Low-activity variant. The low-activity variants is rare, it occurs in one third of all Men before. This gene variant alone produced no violence perpetrators. Nonetheless, studies, if carriers of this gene have also experienced abuse in their childhood, the probability for later antisocial behavior at 80 percent. Stefan - in our fictional example - would thus be biased in fact objective. If the judge so show mercy? Nicholas Rose is skeptical.
What this does is that we no longer concerned solely responsible, but still invest more in prevention, because nobody should have to experience violence.
This rate is also important for our environment, because only those who learn respect, can also deal respectfully with the earth on which he / she lives.
