To biomedical researchers all over the world, twins offer a precious opportunity to
untangle the influence of genes ‘and the environment- of nature and nurture. Because
jdentical twins come fiom a single fertilized egg that splits into two, they share virtually
the same genetic code. Any difference between them-one twin having younges-looking,
skin, for example-maust be due to environmental factors such as less time spent inthe sun.
‘Alternatively, by comparing the experiences of identical twins with those of frateral
‘twins, who come from separate eggs. ‘and share on average half their DNA, researchers
cat quantify the extent to which our genes affect our lives. If identical twins are more
similar to each other with respect to an ailment than fratemal twins are, then vulnerability
to the disease must be rooted atleast in part in hetedity.
‘These two lines of research-studying the difference betvieen identical twins to pinpoint
the influence of environment, and comparing identical twins with fraternal ones to
measure the role of inheritance-have been ctucial to understanding the interplay of nature
and nurture in determining our personalities, behavior, and vulnerability of disease.

Modernization has generally enhanced the material level of civilization through out the
world. But has it also enhanced the moral and cultural dimension of civilization? In some

Feversion occurs as western power declines? Much evidence exists in the 1990s for the
relevance of the “sheer chaos” paradigm of world affairs: a global breakdown of law and

Acupuncture is a system of treatment of disease which has been practiced in China for
nearly 5000 years. It cousists in the rapid insertion of fine steel needles, about six
‘centimeters long, on particular spots on the body of the patient. After inserting the needle,
the doctor twitls the needle between his thumb and forefinger. There are hundreds of,
‘acupuncture points on the body, When acupuncture is made on a spot on the body, energy
flows from there along line known as meridians to the diseased organ. The flow of energy
helps to restore the baince of the system and thus correct the disorder. The points of
treatment may be far from the seat of the disease. For example, to cure a toothache, the
acupuncturist may insert a needle on the palm of the patient.
‘Although China is considered to be the couniry where acupuncture originated, some
forms of treatment resembling it has been reported from other parts of the world by
anthropologists. Among some ancient tribes, stones and arrows were used to prick the
skin, In another form of treatment, the skin on particular spot of the body was burnt 0

For Jong acupuncture was dismissed by the west as a form of superstition like witehoraft

theoretical basis of acupuncture that was propounded in China was a mixture of

Chinese scientists.
During the 1960s acupuncture came to the notice of westem scientists, who viewed it
with skepticism as well as curiosity. Doctors from Europe went to China to make «
