Nature Vs Nurture Essay

When it comes to the debate of Nature vs. Nurture I consider myself to be the middle man. I feel that our behavior, physical development and our identity is not only the result of our genealogical makeup but our interactions, and decisions that we encounter on a daily basis as well as our family structure. First I would like to give a brief summary of the two topics. The nature side of the debate expresses that our decisions and end results are stemmed from only our genealogical make up such as, hair color and even diseases. Nurture on the other hand is the actualization that our actions and decisions are brought upon us not by our DNA makeup but actually from the environment around us, including our culture and upbringing. Although many people …show more content…
Although this may seem as if DNA plays the biggest part in forming your identity you should think again. Many teenagers form their own identities by putting themselves into different situations and figuring out which path will have the greatest outcome (Myers, 2014, p. 144). Although we cannot rule out DNA when we try to form our identities most people will argue that many teens do not just automatically know who they want to be. They begin to form themselves and create their own person by referring to the actions and identities of the people surrounding them, which leads me to the topic of family …show more content…
When you look in a mirror what do you see? You don’t see the words caring, nice, tall and happy, do you? No. This is because your physical appearance, although it can be medically altered, is created when your parents DNA are combined together, which is why you can see characteristics from both parents when you do look in the mirror (nature). Now although you may see those characteristics, there is also a side of you that may only be the result of prior actions (nurture). Some of these characteristics may include having muscles or having a healthy diet, these traits are based more so on how your surroundings are affecting you (Myers, 2014, p. 150-151). For instance, maybe you had a family member diagnosed with diabetes and they were told to watch their eating habits, because of this you may have begun eating healthy as well since you could already be carrying the gene you may not want to risk the chance of getting diagnosed as well. This is an example of nurture solely because a previous result or action has triggered you to make a change in how you are living your

The first belief is that everyone’s personality is genetically passed down from their parents. This belief is referred to as “nature” because everything is already preprogrammed into a child’s brain by the time he or she is born. The other argument is “nurture”, also known as “tabula rasa” (Nature versus Nurture). This belief is that everyone’s personality is developed from the people they grow up around, so the behavioral similarities between parents and their children emerge throughout childhood from learning experiences alongside their parents. Between these two views, nurture has to have the bigger effect on the way a child develops.

786 wordsRead More - Nature Vs Nurtureanalytical essayWhen we born, we all are like a blank slate (Uzgalis). Then, why are we the way we are? How the slate is filling? This answer will lead us to consider the decades of debate, nature vs nurture. In this age-old debate, scholars are trying to figure out whether it is nature or nurture influences and affects individual's development. Nature is heredity or genes that we get from our parents and nurture is our environment. We can't ignore, we share the DNA from our parents, but it is the environment that is filling the slate and shaping us. Again, environment is brighter in describing the shaping of a person because a person is a reflection of the environment of which they were brought up in. Here, environment refers to the experience, information, and knowledge that we acquire from our family, peers, school, neighborhood, and of course, from the media throughout our lifespan. So, I think, nurture has more influence on who we are and will be because our personality, behavior, values, and ideals are not born, but made by the environment around us.

522 wordsRead More - Nature versus Nurture debatecomparative essayGenes or life experiences? What determines who you truly are? The nature versus nurture debate is one of the most popular debates throughout history. It questions whether genetics are the thing that decide who you are, or whether it is the life experiences that influence your characteristics and qualities. Did you gain that good humour from your mother? Or is it simply there due to the influences in the environment you grew up in? A rather vast selection of traits have been discussed in this type of debate – personality, gay or straight, political orientation, intelligence, and even your likeliness to be involved in violence. On the “Nature” side of the argument, it is believed that everything about us is already in our genes, and in some cases it is obvious that it is entirely down to genetics such as physical features and hereditary health issues. In opposition to this we have the “Nurture” half, it does not include just the love and care children receive by the people they have been raised by, but in a modern day debate environmental factors –such as friends from someone’s youth, surrounding culture, occurrences with technology, and even experiences from in the womb- are included. In my own personal view I believe that there are certain aspects in both arguments that provide evidence for equality in both nature and nurture.

829 wordsRead More - Gender Roles: Nature Vs. Nurture?analytical essayNature versus nurture has been debated between psychologists for years and probably will be for years to come. However, both sides of the debate need to come to their sense because the human being is a product of nature and nurture. There are endless experiments to test each side’s theories; but they will never reach a law. The reason for this is because there is too many variables that cannot be controlled. Nature is what we are born with, so our genes. Then nurture is how we are impacted by our environment; these are, parents, siblings, family, peers, culture, gender, norms, child rearing, and experiences. Our genes predispose us to traits like skin color, height, and gender; we cannot change our height or skin color, but our gender is questionable.

Nature is what people think of as already having and not being able to change it, in other words, pre-wiring (Sincero). Nurture is the influence of experiences and its environment of external factors (Sincero). Both nature and nurture play important roles in human development. Scientists and researchers are both trying to figure out which is the main cause in development because it is still unknown on which it is. The best position to side with is nature. Nature is also defined as genetic or hormone based behaviors (Agin). Regardless of the involvement in everyday life, or nurture, this argumentation centers around the effect genes have on human personalities.
