characterization
Arlo Guthrie was one of the best known.
Physical appearance can provide important cues and information about a person, such as age, gender, health, and emotions. These details can influence how we perceive and interact with others, guiding our social judgments and behaviors.
Because Huntington's is a genetic disorder and it is known what sequence in what region causes the disorder.
Huntingtons is a genetically inherited disease from a parent. when chromosomes are passed onto a child, the child wont always receive the chromosome containing the gene. But, if they do inherit the gene they will have the disease no matter what, because the disease is dominant. If it was recessive, the child could inherit the disease but not necessarily get the disease.
Personality development can be shaped by physical appearance. How a person is viewed in this world has an effect on how they are treated.
