Throughout history, our society’s socialization, or lifelong social experiences, has been debated upon quite vigorously. It is quite evident that we all obtain certain characteristics and abilities through heredity factors, but many still argue that this is not the only explanation for how our lives are determined.

In psychology, the nature versus nurture debate is concerned about the degree to which are behavior is derived from genetic factors and environmental factors. Nature, in essence, means that we were born the way we are and this side of the debate argues that our biology has the greatest influence on our behavior. Nurture on the other hand believes that what a person has been exposed to and experienced has the greatest influence on their behavior. Psychological perspectives have certain assumptions

debates about the human behavior and the reason why the human body reacts the way it does. These different states have people questioning how do we come up with these behaviors. Does nature or nurture have an influence on our behavior? Or is it a combination of the two? How are the mind and the body working together?

Nurture on the other hand is behavior that is learned or acquired over time. Nurture is thought

The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest issues in sociology (Davidson, 1991, n.p.). The debate centers on the relative contributions of genetics and environmental factors to human behavior (Davidson, 1991, n.p.). Today, the majority of experts believe that behavior and development are influenced by both nature and nurture (Macionis, 2009, p. 73). The biggest question now is which one affects human development more: nature or nurture? According to Macionis (2009, p. 72), in the past
