Nurture Nature Vs Nature

Nature or Nurture. Nature may be all of the genes and hereditary factors with which influence them to become who they are such as physical appearances and personality characteristics. Nurturing impacts people’s lives as well as how they are raised and all the environmental factors. In combination, these qualities can be the true identity of oneself. Many people may argue that nurture appears to a play huge factor in the two, but others may think otherwise. Not having both as a characteristic can have a negative effect on a person physically and mentally. The debate of nature versus nurture appears to be the oldest argument known to man, and it still remains to be unanswered. In the old-age argument nature versus nurture, nature may play a huge role in determining a person’s true identity.

“Money Changes the Way We Think” and “The Science of Success,” both explore the topic of nature and nurture. Nature is usualy seen as the beter gene to have since it gives you a ‘fight or flight’ instinct. While it's counterpart Nurture is seen as the weaker and less prefered gene to have since it's typically seen as a handicap. While these two might have some similarities, it's their differences that truly defines them.

Does the environment that one grows up in contribute to alcoholism or is alcoholism determined by genetics? It wasn’t until 1991 that alcoholism was considered both a medical and psychiatric disease by the American Medical Association. Alcoholism is defined in the dictionary as a chronic disorder characterized by dependence on alcohol, repeated excessive use of alcoholic beverages, the development of withdrawal symptoms on reducing or ceasing intake, morbidity that may include cirrhosis of the liver, and decreased ability to function socially and vocationally. (dictionary.com). It is also defined as an addiction to the consumption of alcoholic liquor or the mental illness

Susan Evers and Sharon McKendrick, the famous identical twins from the movie The Parent Trap, were separated at a young age by their divorcing parents. Sharon grew up in Boston to a socialite mother while Susan grew up in California on her father’s ranch. Sharon had structure while Susan’s life was very laid back. They looked the same and liked many of the same things, yet their personalities were very different. What is responsible for these differences? Is it simply that they are two different people with different interests and preferences? Or did the environments that they grew up in play a part in making who they are? In the nature vs. nurture controversy, nature proclaims that our genetic make-up plays the primary role in human

In 1963 serial killer hunted and murdered 27 people , dismembered the bodies and dumped them all over the state of California. At his trial his defense lawyer said his defense was that he was born this way. Nature vs Nurture is a debate that has been around for years. It is an argument on whether people’s personalities and actions are the way they are because they were born that way or that’s how they were raised. So this means people are either a product of their environment. Or their traits were passed down genetically. Nature vs Nurture is a direct correlation with child development.

1. Some people have argued that the Johns Hopkins psychologist used this opportunity as an experiment to test his nurture theory of gender identity. What are the expected results of this experiment, assuming that the nurture theory is valid?

Human behaviour is based upon Nurture, how you’re taught or learn as you go. I don’t believe anyone is born a certain way. I believe you’re taught how to act/behave as you go/grow. People are affected by others and how they see them behave to learn how they should behave. Even if someone else doesn’t think someone should behave that way it’s what you learned to do based on your surroundings.(”Because of you I am afraid”-Because of You: Kelly Clarkson) If someone has taught you to always be afraid, whether it’s fear of something/someone or doing something that seems scary then you’ll continue to be afraid.

Nature vs nurture has been a long-standing debate in the fields of psychology, sociology biology and many others. Some believe how an individual behaves, copes, etc. is based solely on their genetic makeup. While others agree the way, an individual is raised effects how way certain genes are expressed thus changing the way these individuals behave and react. Anger is an emotion that all people experience at some time, for many reasons and the depth, or intensity of that anger can be influenced by nature and nurture. The purpose of this essay is not to make an argument for either side, but to show how nature and nature are important to human psychological development. Specifically, how the expression of anger or aggression is influenced by

Nature is the genes a person is born with, nurture is how a person is raised, we either inherit it from our parents (genetics) or we learn it from our upbringing (environment). The textbook describes the clarification of nature vs nurture as making a decision, is it “the level of the individual or at the level of the individual differences within a population” (Page 163). If it is the level of the individual then there is no debate of what it is because each person has a unique set of genes. If it is at the level of the individual differences of a population then you can compare differences of genes and environment page 163. For example, if you take a population of a village living on the Yukon River, most of them probably harvest and eat salmon.

One of the most commonly used debates in the history of psychology is that of nature vs nurture. Does one's surroundings affect the person they become, or are they genetically programmed at birth to act as they do? Thanks to explanations from either side of this debate, an excuse for the crazed actions of an individual can be found in both their birth and their own personal upbringing.

One of the most argumentative debate in psychology is nature versus nurture. Nature is believing that our genetics determine our behavior, personality traits and abilities. Nurture is that our environment, upbringing and life experiences determine our behaviors. Throughout Wuthering Heights the characters in the story show that nurture overrules nature.

When it comes to the debate between “Nurture” and “Nature” it seems there can only be one choice. I truly believe in the concept of “Nurture” over “Nature”. The film seems to support my view. Jean-Martin Charcot was a French neurologist and professor. He was a strong believer in nature. He studied and researched a little understood disorder called “Hysteria”. During his studies he decided that hysteria was a brain disorder. He believed that it could be passed down from parent to child. He claimed that it was due to bad genes. He targeted different groups of people such as Jews. A lot of people already believed Jews were a weak group of people. His theories helped perpetuate this theory.

This article was very informative and depth and highlights numerous things regarding what child neglect tells us about nature and nature. While nature relates to our environment, nurture relates to the relationship between two people mainly a mother, father and their offspring a mother nurture her child by taking care him/her both physically and mentally in order for them to function in their environment in an effective way. In addition, in the article Perry (2002) stated that “Archeology first documents evidence of written language 5000 years ago in the Middle East. The genetic potential for humankind to learn and use written language had been present, but unexpressed, for 200,000 years prior to the first invention of written language”. One thousand years ago, approximately one percent of Western Europe could read; nevertheless, everyone within that population had the ability to read. However, this possibility remained insignificant

The opinion paper was the first paper that I wrote in composition ll. I connected my opinion paper with the communication skills with my mother. Through writing this paper I learned that stating my opinion is fine, as long as I have evidence to back it up. Communicating your opinion with other can be hard when the other person you’re trying to communicate with has a different opinion than you do on that topic. My mother and I quite frequently have different opinions, but learning as I grow up that even if I have a different opinion than her it doesn’t mean we can’t get along. I could have written about anything that I possibly wanted. I choose to write about nature verse nurture. The title of my paper is Nature Vs. Nurture and it is a paper

The significance of nature and nurture pertaining to the personal development of humans is constantly in debate, but there is much more scientific evidence to support the significance of nature. Experiments and studies proving that gender identity, sexual preference, and the way people behave are exclusively decided through genetics and natural hormones. Nurture elements, such as the media, family, and peers have an insignificant effect on how a person identifies with a gender, has a sex preference, or behaves. The research speaks for itself- nature is more impactful on the personal development of people.
