Nature And Nurture Research Paper

One after another they bounced from home to home across the world; San Francisco, Boston, and Shanghai, China. Depending on this situation it could alter many variables to the behavior of the children. The guardians could have certain rules that restrict the children, less rules that give them too much freedom, it could go on for awhile; it all comes down to two points however, was it their nature or the way they were nurtured?

Nature is the natural mental and physical way a person should act by the way their genes are formed, however nurture changes nature by changing one's environment to change the natural behavior one posses. Nurture is more dominant feature for people's psychological development due to the environment one's in. Nurture is dominant because the environment can change a person's gene features allowing their to cancel out the negative personality they naturally have in their genes. Nature is very deceptive because someone's destiny to be a crazy psychopath can become the opposite in the future, this is the result from environmental, someone raised positively will shape

According to the dictionary the term "Nurture" means to feed and protect, and "Nature" means the particular combination of qualities belonging to a person. Although the brothers have one similarity that I would consider nurturistic, which is there willingness to help people thorough their occupation, I believe the rest of the other similarities that the brothers share fall along the lines of nature. For example, both brothers share the same shoe size which seems to be an inheritance from their parents and that is a natural similarity. Also, the brothers share similar interests such as smoking, reading, exercising, coffee, music, brand of clothing, and religion, which also falls into the category of natural characteristics.

Throughout growing up, an individual is told they can do and become anything they want to as long as they put their mind to it. That is great for someone to understand, but despite knowing this philosophical viewpoint, people quickly learn that some individuals are better than others at certain activities. I’m sure throughout school you realized that some students comprehended skills quicker than others.

I think that nature and nurture both affect a person's life, but I think nurture has more to do with our lives than nature does. When I was little, i was at a parade and the people in a tracter threw candy I didn't get any so I started crying and felt bad. It connects to me now I am an ESFP a Feeler. I think that nature has a lot to do with our lives but nurture has more to do with it, and that nurture controls what you think and act.

The idea of nature is that a person's development is predisposed in their DNA and refers to inherited tendencies/abilities that people have. The idea of nurture is that a person’s development is influenced by their life experiences and environment. Nature uses the genetic coding to help physical development and does influence some positive or negative traits to an individual. However, it is nurture that improves positive traits and decrease the effect of negative traits in a person.

Dr. Carol Staley-Abney asked the questions, “One of the oldest and most studied questions within all disciplines of psychology is the nature versus nurture debate. What influences us to think and act the way we do-nature or nurture?” Well, what is nature and nurture you ask? Nature is the inborn, innate character of an organism. Nurture is the sum total of the environment factors that affect an organism from conception onward.

The talents have been given by nature but they can only be developed into skills through the hard work of nurture.- REWORD (Brighthubcom, 2015) BASKETBALL PLAYER EXAMPLE

Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Nature and Nurture are the reason why. Nature is your genetics, what you were born with. While on the other hand, Nurture is how your body and mind react to the society around you. Nature and Nurture both have an important role on your personalty. I believe that Nurture has the bigger influence on your personality, because even though your genetics have a big influence on you, the society around you can change them.

Many people today wonder about whom they are and how they became that way. Is who we are in our genetic code? Is it a result of our surroundings? Behavioral geneticists attempt to answer these questions by studying the differences in humanity and weighing the effects and interplay of heredity and environment--nature versus nurture. Nature, or environment, is the effect of the surroundings. Nurture, or heredity, is the effect of the genes. Behavioral geneticists have found however that both play a key role in our lives, as twin studies have shown.

When I attended Lander University I was once asked before “nature or nurture”. At the time I had no clue, from a psychology prospective what nature or nurture meant. I also had the habit of being indecisive, so I answered back with a simple “I don’t Know.” Now that I am actually taking psychology I get an understanding why the topic is so important, and why it is so hard to be on one side of the matter. In my paper I will give definition nature verse nurture, examples of nature verse nurture, and also which one impacted my life the most.

This topic is really interesting and I have found myself asking a lot of questions about myself. I feel like traits like height, weight, skin color, and physical appearance are majorly affected by of nature. Most these traits are received from our parents or ancestors. From the above traits we listed some of them can be affected by nurture as well. For instance weight can be affected by the types of food we are consuming and the amount of exercise we are doing in daily basis. However, things like being out going, friendly, and being shay are more can be defined by nurture. i think we can be friendly if we grew up with the family which are all friendly and outgoing. When a kid grew up with a parents who doesn’t communicate that much, he tend

What makes a person who they are? Some would say nature is everything, you can't change it because you were born that way. Some believe no matter what is in your DNA it is all how and in what environment you were raised. I like to believe it’s mostly nurture. Well it has been tested and proven that both have effects on us mentally and physically. In the video “The Responsive Brain” (2001) they ran test to show how humans and animals alike respond to being removed from their mother. They concluded that without the nurture of mothers these children had stunted growth,psychosocial dwarfism, it’s caused by extreme emotional deprivation or stress. These babies, human or animals, reacting so strongly to not having their mothers they stopped growing

One’s interest typically leads one to one’s talent eventually, one step at a time. This is evident from a popular quote “Talent can’t be taught, but it can be awakened” by Wallace Stegner.
