Nature vs Nurture
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. Certain things people do that might not be right may seem right to someone because it’s what

There are two that I’ve learned about that are good examples of this, they are the Little Albert experiment and the Stanford Prison experiment. In the Little Albert experiment they took a nine-month old infant and taught it fear by scaring it with a loud noise every time it touched a stuffed rat or dog when before it had no fear touching these objects. They taught him fear so that he was scared of these objects even after months had passed, this fear stuck with him. Then there’s the Stanford Prison experiment which made these normal college students act and behave differently than they normally would because of the situation they were put in. They got 24 middle class, white male college students and randomly assigned them either prisoner or guard. There were three small cells housing 3 men each and one solitary confinement room for those who didn’t listen. They got into their characters even when none of them had been prisoners or guards but that was their roles so they had to. This experiment shows how powerful the effect of these roles can have on people’s behaviour. Both of these experiments show how what you’re taught and the situations you’re in can affect your
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.

aggressively because the odds are stacked against them, with less ability to control their aggressive behavior when presented with a reward or no reward situation. Unbalanced levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, like dopamine, can affect one's ability to deal with stressors, which includes the likelihood of committing a crime. Similarly, certain genes are expressed differently because of environmental factors that predispose one to environmental risk when the two come into contact.
There are two sides of this debate, Nature and Nurture. Nature refers to something that you’re born with and are not able to change. People that follow this are called Nativists. They believe that the traits that you have are passed down through genetics. Nurture means that your personality traits are based on your environment. For example, the conditions under which you were raised. Another factor can be your interactions with people and experiences that happened in childhood. The people that support this idea are called Empiricists (Butler). I side with the Empiricists, that you are able to become a certain way because of your environment. The idea of aggression within Nature vs. Nurture was first tested in an experiment, The Bobo Doll Experiment.
Could one argue that studying Freud, the neo Freudians, Skinner, Maslow, and others is irrelevant in view of research demonstrating that genetics and physiological or anatomical changes in the brain affect personality?
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
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?
The Nature vs. Nurture has been a long never ending debate for some time now. Nature vs Nurture has been so profoundly debated, that now it’s unclear whether what makes us who we are and what we do, nature or nurture. For purposes of this essay Nature is going to be defined as characteristics we acquire through our genetic and biological factors, while that Nurture is going to be defined characteristics we acquire through our interactions and influences with the environment. There are endless ways of taking an approach to the Nature vs Nurture conflict, thus the reason that it’s truly unclear if its Nature or Nurture or even both what makes us who and what we are.

The Man to Send Rain Clouds is a short story based on the death of a very old man at the Pueblo Indian reservation. This results to various issues from the conflicting spiritual aspects and Christianity aspects. At the beginning of the story, the body of the old man is identified lying under a cottonwood tree in the indicant reservation. The sheep owned by the old man are scattered in all locations of the arroyo Lavine.

Both nature and nurture have a big role on how children develop.
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
Nature and Nurture both create the various personalities and physical appearances unique to everyone. However, with the progression of technology and medical understanding, a century long debate was born in which the question was asked, “does Nature or Nurture create who we are?” The argument presented by the side that argues nature is what creates who we are is that all a person’s characteristics are determined by their genes. On the other hand, the argument presented by the side that argues nurture is what creates who we are is that all a person’s characteristics are determined by their environmental interactions. This paper examines the correlation between mental health and the nature vs nurture debate. Through secondary research, it was
October 27, 2008 was the start of the best day of her life as she would soon find out. Her younger sister named Shawneequa, 14 months, her younger brother named Vern, three years old, and of course Marion, only 5 years old. T’was the night when her mother and father were consuming lots of alcohol with friends who even, she did not recognize and she knows her parents have a lot of friends. They were in a disagreement and murmuring about each other, about who is doing what and what was happening. There were lots screeching and chaos going on that was coming from our house. Her mom's aunt, who was a neighbor at the time, was getting very apprehensive and decided to call the police to come over and see what was happening. Then, all of a sudden, she could hear the sirens get louder and louder as she saw them pulling up in the driveway. The blue and red lights were submerging through the curtains and reflecting off the mirror. Marion and her brother were getting scared so we shut the curtains and her mother attempted to turn off all of the lights. After asking her mom’s aunt, her mother, and Marion a few questions and then shortly after apprehending her dad, the police told all the children to get outside and stay in this one little spot on the cement by their driveway.
