Cultural Contextual Literacy

The nature vs nurture issue has been a controversial argument among psychologist for decades. This argument exposes two different views. One of them emphasizes that our personality depends solely on genetics (nature). On the other hand, the second view suggests that humans “develop through experience” (Myers 2013, SG 6) (nurture).

The classic debated topic of Nature versus Nurture has been and will always be a quarrelsome subject in the scientific world. Meaning, the issue of the level to which environment and heredity sway behavior and development in a person. Nature can be defined as, behaviors due to heredity. This means the behaviors is based on the inherited makeup of an individual and is an influence of the growth and development of that individuals’ all through life. On the other hand nurture is causes of behaviors that are environmental. This Intel’s the influence is from the individual’s parents, siblings, family, friends and all other experiences that individual exposed to during life. However, these concept of ideas supports the inborn genetic framework,

According to Ryckman (2012), the definition of personality is “Despite the many definitions of the term, investigators generally agree that personality is the dynamic and organized set characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or her cognitions, motivations, and behaviors in various situations” (p. 4). Many people in the field of psychology have developed their own theories of personality in hopes of understanding people better and getting a grasp on human behavior. According to Sharf (2012), one of the first individuals to use psychoanalysis and psychotherapy was Sigmund Fraud. Sigmund Freud’s theory of how to perform psychoanalysis was considered to be the best through 1930s- 1950s and most of the main theorists were trained under Freud’s psychoanalysis theory (Sharf, 2012).

Every human being is unique. Were we destined to be the way we are, or have we been made this way through our environment and experiences? Psychology has long been debating the issue of Nature versus Nurture. Characteristics such as hair and eye color are generally recognized to be controlled by genetics. Those on the Nature side (Nativists) claim that genetics control much more, including personality and character. Nurture backers (empiricists) will argue that a person’s environment and experiences determine those traits. So is it possible to prove which side is right? The latest findings suggest that the debate may not be that simple.

Cultural literacy is understanding the culture you are referring to, and therefore essentially understanding the market. For example, there was a successful vehicle produced by GM in the past called the “Chevrolet Nova” When sold in Mexico, the car did horribly. Reason was, GM did not notice the word “nova” in Spanish translates to “no-go” or “does not move” Of course a car named “does not move” will not do well. It is basically the last thing a car buyer would want to hear is a car named after the fact it can’t drive. Needless to say, the vehicle did not do well in the Spanish market. Cultural Literacy is nothing new, and has been a subject of concern for many years. Many doctors and professors have come up with different methods to try to

Controversy arises when nature (inheritance) is combated against nurture (environment). This controversy began with the development of the behavioristic point of view. “Behaviorism arose as a protest against all form of “introspective psychology,” which was concerned with mental states such as consciousness and will”(Plomin 3). It led to an environmentalism that rejected the possibility of genetics influences on behavior. The burden of explaining individual differences fell completely to environmental factors. Genetics involve genes, which are chemical structures that control the production of proteins, thereby indirectly affecting

Psychoanalysis was the first formal theory of personality influenced by Sigmund Freud. Freud divided personality into three levels: the conscious, the preconscious and the unconscious. He later revised this notion and
