Nature Nurture

 

Nature:  Refers to the human traits one gets biologically
 through their parents and cannot be altered or 
changed in any way.

Nurture: (environment) It is debate whether we are
 influenced by genes or the our surroundings.

Nature vs. Nurture : is a debate.



EXAMPLES OF NATURE:

1. Those who would argue that nature is largely to thank for the individual’s ability to achieve greatness might point to his or her parents and use their level of intelligence as a reason for why he or she is so successful. Perhaps the child developed early skills quickly and the quote " like mother, like daughter or Like father like son".

2. If your parents messed up and made bad decisions most kids blame there parents for there own mistakes because they think that they can get away with it because there parents have done it. 

 

3. Say there is a good basketball player and he is very tall... his teammates and him would say that he is so good because his dad was tall and passed that down to his son. 

 

4. Dominate traits from your parents are also a example of nature.. say your mom has blonde hair, blue eyes then you would have blonde hair blue eyes also. 

5. As a  kid into a family that is very wealthy you have a better shot at getting an education vs someone who was raised in a family that was not very wealthy, would struggle getting an education.

 
EXAMPLES OF NURTURE:
1. Those who would argue that a child's intelligence was affected by nurture would look at the child's educational background as well as how his or her parents raised her. These individuals would state that the intelligence level which permitted the child to be so successful, is largely the result of the child's upbringing and the school system.

2. Say your child has great manners and is sweet. That child was more then likely raised in a very christian like family where the parents are very respectful.

3. Some people would argue that children get to go to college only because there parents provided it for them.

4. Some people would argue that the child's genre of music is based off of what his or her parents have listened to.

5. Accents also are an example of Nurture, your accent or word choice is what you were raised around and how your parents taught you how to talk. 

 

 MY OWN PERSONAL TAKE:

I would say that i agree with both sides of the argument in each way. I do believe that in Nature, if the parents are tall, you get that from them and that is an advantage that you were born with but rather you were good or bad at basketball is really up to the child.  I also agree with Nurture when it says that the way you respond to things such as using manners is how your parents raised you and who you were raised around.. but any child could be nice and have manners no matter where or how you were raised because in the end its really up the child and how the child wants to act.
