Learner Whose Primary Post Please Read Descriptio

Initial posts must be 250+ words. Part of the requirement for a substantive post is to bring something new to the conversation. Read the forum prompt and fully answer it, demonstrate understanding of the lesson/content, include evidence from firsthand experience, reference to the course materials, and apply what you’re discussing to work, life, and reality.

• Choose one of the following topics to respond to for your initial post. HOWEVER, POST YOUR INITIAL POST AS A REPLY, NOT A NEW “Conversation.” Each of the choices will have its own thread. This will make it easier for everyone. Know that if you post your primary post to topic A, then you will need at least one more post in that thread and at least one post in the other thread. NOTE, replies to me DO count toward participation.
• Indicate your last name and chosen topic in the title of your post.
• Contribute at least two responses to include at least one post a learner whose primary post was to the topic you did not chose.
• Requirements:

• Your initial post should be at least 250 words.
• Responses should be a minimum of 100 words and include direct questions.
• See the syllabus for assignment requirements and grading criteria, and be sure to quote from the readings to illustrate your points, followed by MLA citation, both in-text and on a Works Cited page.

Initial Post Due: Thursday, by 11:55 p.m., ET
Responses Due: Sunday, by 11:55 p.m., ET

Topic A: Genetic Engineering

Are there any circumstances in which you would allow yourself or a child to be genetically modified? Why or why not? You must do research on CRISPR-Cas9 before answering this question

Topic B: Will to Power

Compare Nietzsche’s concept of the “Will to Power” with Alfred Adler’s insight that Nietzsche’s “Will to Power” is not essential to human nature, but is, in fact, a neurotic pattern of behavior based on a “fictional goal” created by the individual in order to cope with the demands of society.
